The
History of Wedding Favors
Throughout
history wedding reception
favors have become an indispensable component 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 couples have
presented small gifts upon their wedding reception 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
reception favors around the world are as diverse as the
cultures surrounding them. The type of favors that have
been used in weddings of the past depended much on the culture
of the families of the bride and groom. Different cultures have
various traditional 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 considered among the most important accessories
of marriage celebrations. Couples use small gifts 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 gifts. Both personalized chocolates and
foil wrapped chocolates are very popular. Brides seek to make
a statement with their favors. Personalized favors provide an
especially effective way to display a brief message to the reception
guests.
During
the centuries, the tradition of wedding favors has evolved
into the sophisticated and themed gifts that most couples enjoy
