Where should I place the wedding cookie favors?

I have a knack for baking and cookie decorating, therefore my older sis (the bride) has asked me to make and decorate sugar cookies for her wedding favors. Would it be a bad idea to place the packages on top of the plates at the tables? What about handing them out with each slice of wedding cake? Is that wierd or tacky? What are some other options?
What a nice idea! Put one set at each place setting – depending on the space available, it’s better to have it above the plate (like between the water and wine glasses), but if there isn’t the space, on top of the plate is okay.
I usually see favors placed on the same table with the cake, but you can also opt to have a separate table with just all the cookie favors. You can also place them beforehand on each guest table… or you can just get your wedding party to hand them out to guests later in the reception program. Either way, it’s good. Don’t worry so much about tacky-this and tacky-that…it’s your wedding, therefore, your choice.
What a great and inexpensive, unique idea.
I agree with the other answers. I thought on the table was pretty normal – near or on the plate. At least everyone knows they are there! and wont miss out!
Or what about down the centre of the table on a couple of nice platters/bowls. Or near the cake / dessert – with a note to say what they are (so people dont take more than their share. Another idea would be to place them near the exit or near the guest book.
if you’re making the cookies as favors, they are to be placed at each place setting on the tables before the reception starts. if you want to use it as a garnish with the wedding cake instead, that’s a cute idea too, but then you need something else to use as favors.
