The
History of Wedding Favors
Throughout history wedding
party favors have become an important part of marriage
celebrations around the world. The tradition of wedding favors
dates back several centuries, or perhaps thousands of years.
It is said that since the 16th century brides and grooms have
presented wedding shower favors upon the wedding guests. 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
party 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.
Wedding
favors are believed to be a critical element of wedding receptions.
Couples use unique wedding favors to thank their wedding guests.
Many wedding 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 foil
wrapped chocolates 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.
Throughout
history, the tradition of wedding favors has evolved into the
