Advice/suggestions for cake/biscuit wedding favours

Hi
I've been asked by a friend to bake wedding favours for her daughters wedding.
So far, we thought of making mini rocky roads choc biscuits (easy to bulk make them and can be made in advance without the risk of them going stale).
But we need another option - something that doesn't contain chocolate or nuts.
Does anyone have any suggestions that I could look into.

Thanks in advance
:j Bought all my presents for this year (birthday and Christmas) now starting on next years!!:j

    You could make plain sugar cookies and cover them with icing to match the colour scheme. Maybe get a heart shaped cookie cutter to make it more wedding-y? Something like this:

    We went to a wedding where we got heart shaped biscuits with a much smaller heart iced on, they were wrapped in cellophane with ribbons to match the colour scheme.
    Got married 23rd May 2009, many thanks to all on the Weddings and Anniversaries board for their help and support!

    coconut ice? - I made the waitrose recipe from the web - very nice!

    Shortbread?

    I have a good cookie recipe but they look a bit odd (taste great look weird) so probably not good for favours!
