Why Wedding Favors?

When it comes to planning a wedding, most individuals are overwhelmed at the details of the event.  From the dress to the flowers to the invitations, a wedding has a ton of components and many couples seek to downsize their list.  When it comes to the favors, many couples ask, “why wedding favors?”  Well, why not!  Think of your wedding favors as a unique way for your guests to remember your special day.  Additionally, favors are a great way to thank your guests for attending your event by providing a small token of appreciation.
   
Historical Reasons
 
Historically, wedding favors were sent home with guests as a gesture of good will and good luck.  British tradition saw favors as tiny pieces of the wedding cake or just small bite-sized cakes wrapped in a smart box and topped with a bow. The guests would snack on their sweets on the long trip home. Great twists on this tradition are locally made cupcakes placed in a clear or white square gift box and tied with ribbon or Chocolate covered fortune cookies inside a take-out favor box. The scrumptious treat, available at will, provides your guests with a sweet treat and a clever romance-inspired fortune.    Similarly, Italian aristocrats would shower their wedding guests with tiny porcelain boxes filled with sugared confections.  Shop for fabulous selections of candies, including traditional Jordan Almonds and a hot new trend, chocolate covered sunflower seeds. Store these goodies in an original container, like a Clear pillow box or a tidy Glassine Envelope. Shop at  weddingfavorsnow.com  for a truly unique wedding reception favor.  Practical Reasons
Many couples combine their favors with place cards.  The place cards are important at any reception where guests will be encouraged to sit at designated tables.  Usually, a reception with place cards runs a bit smoother since each guest will know his or her place and not be wondering where to sit.  Consider creating a personalized wedding favor that will serve both purposes.  For instance, mini pictures Frames are a great wedding favor for your guests that will hold their name and table number provide your guests with a personalized item that can double as a place card. Fun Reasons
Not everything in a wedding has to be practical!  Use unique wedding favors to show a favorite hobby you share or a unique aspect of your relationship.  For example, if your first date was at a coffee shop, consider giving your guests personalized coffee favors, packets with your names and wedding date.  WeddingFavorsNow.com offers a fantastic array of wedding favors, for most themed weddings.
