Types of glass containers for wedding favors

This category includes various formats, each designed for a specific use: from large display bowls to individual wedding favors to be given to guests. At L'Arcolaio, we carefully select these items, focusing on the balance between material quality and practicality of use — whether you're organizing a candy buffet for 200 people or looking for 30 favors for a communion.

Bowls and potiches for candy buffets

Transparent glass bowls and potiches are the centerpiece of any candy buffet setup.EDG Enzo De Gasperioffers various sizes: theCoppa Potiche H25 D15with included box, theCoppa H29 D15in natural transparent glass, and the largeCoppa Svasata H40 D21for displays with a high volume of confetti. TheCoppa Bombata H18 D14on the other hand, offers a more rounded silhouette, suitable for tables with limited space. The same type is available in theMaxtriscatalog, with H25 and H29 bowls that can be directly matched with confetti from the same brand for a complete coordinated look — a solution our customers particularly appreciate when seeking visual consistency on the candy buffet table.

Round and decorative containers

For those looking for something more compact, theRound Rhombus Containersby EDG Enzo De Gasperi (available in H9 D9 and H11 D12) add an embossed textured effect that enhances the clear glass without weighing down the composition. TheDecorative Micro Square Embossed Container H14.5 D10.5, available in green and pink, is well-suited for spring ceremonies or color-themed events, such as baptisms or communions with pastel palettes.

Confetti holders and individual favors

For favors to be distributed to guests, the choice shifts to smaller, customizable formats. TheARPIMEX transparent PVC tube confetti holder(3.5 × 2 × 11.5 cm, in packs of 50 pieces) is a practical solution for weddings and communions with many guests. TheFavor Container with Lid in Transparent Textured Glass H20 D9from the L'Arcolaio line offers a larger cylindrical format, with a textured surface that distinguishes it from a simple smooth jar.

In the same vein is theL'Arcolaio Assorted Glass Favor, a compact 90 ml confetti holder (6×7 cm) sold individually, designed for baptism or communion favors.

Decorative glass eggs

TheGlass Decorative Eggs with Pearls H11 D8by EDG Enzo De Gasperi — available in lavender, pink, and azure — are egg-shaped containers with a closure, suitable for Easter favors or baptism and communion ceremonies with a floral theme and pastel colors. Their shape makes them recognizable on the gift table and easily reusable by guests as a decorative element.

How to choose the right container for your ceremony

For weddings

Large bowls and potiches (H29 or H40) are the classic choice for the central candy buffet. Pair them with a couple of smaller containers — such as EDG's round rhombus ones — for side stations. If you're also looking for confetti to fill them, explore theEDG Enzo De Gasperi wedding favors and glasssection to find coordinated products from the same brand. ThePiovaccari glass confetti holder D 8 cm H 11 cmis another option to consider for guests seated at tables.

For baptisms and communions

Compact formats — tube confetti holders, jars, H9-H14 containers — are the most suitable: they are easily customized with ribbons and tags and stay within the typical budget for these ceremonies. To enhance the favor, combine the container with thefavor accessoriesavailable on the site: ribbons, organza bags, and place cards to complete the look.

For graduations

Cylindrical or tube-themed containers also work well for more informal ceremonies like graduations. Look for individual formats in bulk packs to easily manage large numbers of guests. Theglass jars and test tubes with stoppersare an original and highly requested alternative for this occasion, easily customizable with personalized labels.

For displays and centerpieces

Flared bowls and glass risers are not just for candy buffets: they can become centerpieces with dried flowers, floating candles, or decorative dragées. In this case, also check out theWD LifeStyle borosilicate glass tumblersto complete the table setting with coordinated glass elements.

FAQ — Frequently asked questions about glass containers for wedding favors

Which bowl should I choose for a wedding candy buffet?

It depends on the number of guests and the available surface. TheCoppa Svasata H40 D21by EDG Enzo De Gasperi is suitable for large buffets with a high volume of confetti. TheCoppa Potiche H25 D15is more versatile and also pairs well with medium spaces. For multi-level arrangements, you can combine models of different heights — for example, H18 and H29 — to create visual depth on the table.

Are glass jars with stoppers suitable for food contact?

Yes. The glass jars with cork stoppers in this category are suitable for contact with food: confetti, dragées, chocolates. For PVC or acrylic formats, always check the specific indications on the product sheet before food use.

How many confetti holders are needed for a wedding with 100 guests?

The calculation is simple: one favor per couple or per person, depending on the couple's choice. ARPIMEX tube confetti holders are sold in packs of 50 pieces, practical for medium and large ceremonies. For a wedding with 100 people, estimate 2 packs of 50, plus a few spare pieces.

Can I reuse the glass containers after the ceremony?

Certainly. Glass bowls, jars, and cylinders are easily repurposed as spice jars, flower vases, candle holders, or decorative elements. This is one of the reasons why glass remains the most popular choice: guests receive something useful even after the ceremony is over.

Do the containers include gift packaging?

It depends on the model. TheCoppa Potiche H25by EDG Enzo De Gasperi, for example, is sold with an included box. For other items, packaging must be purchased separately: you can find all packaging options in thefavor accessoriessection, with coordinated ribbons, bags, and small boxes.
