Chinese Fortune Cookies Takeout Box*
A favor is either taken home or left behind on the table, and this one leaves with people. The Chinese Fortune Cookies Takeout Box is the miniature version of the takeout carton everyone recognizes, 2-3/4 inches wide and 2-1/2 inches tall, with a ribbon handle across the top. Inside sit two fortune cookies, each separately packaged, and the pair is deliberate: two cookies for the two of you, the unity of the bride and groom in something small enough to rest at a place setting.
What makes it work at a reception is that nothing about it needs explaining. Your guests already know what a fortune cookie is and exactly what to do with it. They crack one open at the table, read the slip out loud, compare it with the person beside them, and a favor turns into a few minutes of conversation instead of another object to collect. Good luck and fortune spread around the room, and the couple gets some of it back.
The ribbon handle is where your wording lives. HansonEllis foil-imprints it in-house with your names, your date or a short phrase of up to 21 characters, so the favor is unmistakably yours before anyone has opened a cookie. Show everyone that your marriage is as fortuitous and as sweet as what is waiting inside the box.
It is an Asian favor with reach far beyond the wedding. Event hosts present the cookie favor at anniversaries, birthday parties, bridal showers, baby showers and festive events, at Lunar New Year tables, and at company dinners that want something on every seat guests will actually open. Set one at each place, pile a basket of them by the door for people leaving, stack them on the dessert table beside the tea, or send them home in welcome bags for out-of-town guests.
Add your ribbon wording above, choose your quantity, and give every guest a fortune to carry home.

Which one should I choose
A favor is judged on one thing: whether the guest does something with it before the night ends.
| Chinese Fortune Cookies Takeout Box | Choose it when you want the guest to open something at the table, and your names or date to appear on the ribbon handle. |
|---|---|
| A plain paper favor box of candy | Choose that when you are filling the box yourself; there is no fortune to read and nothing happens at the table. |
| A keepsake favor guests take home | Choose that when you want the favor to survive the event; the fortune cookies are eaten, which is exactly why they are remembered. |
If the table needs a moment rather than another object, the fortune cookie takeout box is the favor that creates one.
