Favors:-is An Unbelievable Memory For The Guests
Throughout
history wedding favors have become an important part of
marriage celebrations around the world. The tradition of
handing out wedding reception favors dates back several
centuries or perhaps thousands of years. It is said that since
the 16th century brides and grooms have presented wedding
favors upon their wedding guests at their special event.
Wedding favors are small gifts given as a gesture of
appreciation or gratitude to guests from the bride and groom
during a wedding ceremony or a wedding reception. Undoubtedly,
favors have been an important part of wedding ceremonies around
the world, symbolizing the appreciation of the newly united
couple to their wedding guests for sharing with them such a
significant occasion in their lives.
Wedding favors
around the world are as diverse as the cultures surrounding
them. The type of wedding favors that have been used in
weddings of the past depended a great deal on the culture of
the families of the bride and groom. Different cultures have
various traditional wedding favors that they use. Without a
doubt, there are some similarities among many of the
traditions. For instance, it is quite common for many cultures
to provide each guest with a wedding favor that contains five
candies. Each piece represents one of the five common wedding
wishes: health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and
longevity.
During a
wedding, guests were expected to bring home wedding favors.
Wedding favors are little things that are being distributed to
all the guests to commemorate the said event. If you want
favors that your guests will appreciate and partake of, why not
plan for edible favors? Since then, edible favors can make any
celebration more fun and memorable. Although these edibles
can't give tangible memory, but the fact that they were made
delicious and very tasty gives reason for the guests to
appreciate them. With this delightful idea, you can provide
satisfaction to your guests' who loves candies, chocolates,
cookies, jams, wine, cupcakes and other edible preparations.
The tradition of distributing wedding favors is a very old one.
It is believed that the first wedding favor, common amongst
European aristocrats, was known as a bonbonniere. A bonbonniere
is a small trinket box made of crystal, porcelain, and/or
precious stones. The contents of these precious boxes were
generally sugar cubes or delicate confections, which symbolize
wealth and royalty. Everybody likes to receive wedding favors
from the couple, whether it is of the edible kind, the
practical type, or the displayable variety. For your wedding,
you are thinking along this line and looking at catalogs for
wedding favors like cute wine bottle stoppers, quirky scented
candles, sweet mints and candies, delectable cookies and
cupcakes, sweet picture frames and fridge magnets.
Couples use
unique wedding favors to thank their wedding guests. Many
wedding party favors are practical gifts such as silver plated
bottle opener or favor bags. Picture frames, candles and
candleholders are among some of the most popular wedding
favors. Both personalized chocolate and Jordan almonds are very
popular wedding favors. Brides seek to make a statement with
their favors. Personalized wedding favors provide an especially
effective way to display a brief message to the reception
guests.
Select favors
that uniquely reflect your personal sense of style and will
create a lasting impression with your guests. Gifts that your
guests can actually use are always appreciated. Some couples
provide cultural favors that reflect their heritage while
others choose gifts that will bring a smile and highlight their
sense of fun. The most common wedding favor is a simple bar of
chocolate wrapped with a design wrapper. These chocolates can
be milk chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate and topped
and dressed with almond raisins and other nuts. Even for the
wrapper there are many options available. The wrapper is a very
important one as that is the first thing that catches the
attention of the guests because of which many a couple make it
a point to wrap their gifts with a sheet which has printed
their two names along with the date of their wedding. Some
brides and grooms can go to that extent where they decide to
print their own photos as well as names and date of wedding on
the wrapping paper and use it to wrap their favors.
Cocoas, tea,
coffee are yet another type of edible favors that can be
gifted. Specialty cocoas or teas and coffees can be selected
which can have their packing done in different ways or you can
have the packing along with your photo and a happy thought
written on it. The happy thought could be a saying or a joke or
a poem or a limerick or anything.
Again the
picture of the couple along with the names of the couple and
their wedding date could be printed which would again be a very
innovative idea of gifting.
