Wedding Favors have been a popular tradition for a very long time. Although there is no clear history as to when the idea of bridal couples giving tokens of appreciation to their wedding guests actually began, historians point back as far as the 16th and 17th centuries. It has been documented that newlyweds in England would give out "Love Knots" made of ribbons and lace. Young Italian couples would bestow upon their guests the gift of sugar-coated almonds, known in modern day as Jordan Almonds. The almond, which naturally has a bittersweet taste, is paired with the sweetness of the candy-coated exterior. In theory, this combination represents all that challenges and rewards that life, and for that matter marriage, offers. Even further, in many other cultures, guests are given wedding favors comprised of five individual candles. Each candle represents a sincere wedding wish; health, wealth, happiness, fertility and longevity.
Over time, traditions have evolved as has the ever popular practice of giving guests wedding favors as a way of expressing gratitude for sharing the joy of the marriage celebration. Modern day wedding favors are now as diverse and unique as each individual couple. Favors can be customized to match the theme of the wedding and have become an expression of the couple's own personality.
Ranging from carefree to elegant, from nautical to traditional, wedding favors are great way to leave a lasting impression on your guests. It has become a popular practice to display the wedding favor at each individual place-setting at the reception. The unique wedding favors often become conversation pieces and offer a way for guests to begin mingling with one another.
