The
History of Wedding Favors
Throughout history wedding 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 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
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 considered among the most important accessories of
marriage celebrations. Couples use unique wedding favors to thank their
wedding guests. Many 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.
During the centuries, the tradition of wedding favors has evolved into
