Wedding Party Favors
By: Ken Marlborough
Wedding party favors are small gifts that are traditionally given out by the bride and groom to the wedding party. Everyone looks forward to wedding favors when they attend a wedding. Whether it is a bunch of colored almonds wrapped in netting with a colorful ribbon or a single rose, guests love to leave a reception with a memento to remember the special day. They are given as a symbol of a couple?s thanks for sharing their special day.
Giving wedding favors goes back to ancient Rome when sugar coated almonds were given to guests and symbolized the bitter and sweet times during married life. Other favors that are popular are a piece of the wedding cake, cookies and chocolates. Creative couples often give picture frames, candles, handmade sachets, mini vases, seeds, holiday ornaments and personalized items. Any gift can be personalized by adding special touches. For instance, a frame can contain a picture of the wedding couple, or a holiday ornament can have the guest’s name etched on it.
Favors are placed at each place setting on tables at the wedding. Or they are sometimes placed on a table at the entrance to the reception area. If you want to be more creative, you can place favors at each table in a bowl in the center of the table. As guests sit, they can pick a favor out of the bowl. The bowl can be decorated with ribbons and sweet smelling potpourri.
