Wedding Favors Say a lot about You
Wedding Favors
Let's take a look at the wedding favor. The favor is a generally inexpensive item that you give to your guests as a thank you for sharing your wedding day. Wedding favors are often personalized with the names of the couple and date of the wedding though this is not necessary. A favor can be something readily consumed like chocolates or jordan almonds in decorative bags or it can be a useful memento like a corkscrew, candle or even tape measure.
Historically, lavish wedding favors were given by wealthy brides and grooms as an expression of their wealth. More recently, wedding favors have been given as a way of sharing the good luck of the bride and groom with those in attendance, regardless of the actual value of the favor or the wealth of the couple. This is how it is today.
