Wedding Favors

 

Wedding favors are essential for every wedding, large or small.  They provide a personal ‘thank you’ to each guest that has attended your wedding and allow you and your new groom to be remembered. Often, once the wedding is over, all your guest have left are the memories created from that day, and that one special favor that you left behind. 

Wedding favors have grown so much in popularity, they are now considered an essential part of a wedding reception.  With the wedding market being so competitive, there is no reason nowadays why married couples cannot afford to hand out wedding favors.  Not giving a wedding favor to your guests is now considered very rude and unappreciative. 

 

The wedding favor idea derived from upper class Europeans who believed that a wedding was a lucky occasion. A bride and groom who handed out wedding favors showed that they wanted to share their good luck with their guests.  Long ago those gifts given were called Bonbonnierses, which were little boxes filled with candy, chocolates and other delicacies, something very luxurious at the time. Often these boxes were made of glass, crystal or some other stone and nicely decorated.
