According to history, the
Aristocrats in Europe started the giving of wedding favors. The first wedding
favors are called bonbonniere. Bonbonniere is made up of sugar that had the
shape of a cube. It was placed in a small box that can be made from crystal and
porcelain. At that time, sugar was the symbol of wealth and royalty. According
to beliefs, sugar had a lot of health benefits. During that era, only the rich
people were able to give bonbonnieres to their guests. But with the passage of
time, the price of sugar decreased and become affordable for people from all
walks of life. This started the tradition of giving away wedding favors.
Now days, choosing wedding
favors for the wedding day is not a big issue. From expensive wedding favors to
the less costly ones, there's always a choice for the couples. There is no
reason why you will not be able to give wedding favors to your guests.
One of the most popular kinds
of wedding favor is food. As we all know, people love to eat. There are
different ideas for preparing food as your wedding favor. If you are on a tight
budget, you can use Oreos and other chocolate cookies as your wedding favor but
first you have to decorate it. Place it inside a box, then put a ribbon on it
and attach a small thank you note on the outside the box. You can also bake your
own cookies if you want.
Pewter is also a nice wedding
favor, however, it is more appropriate for very formal weddings and it is more
expensive.
You can also give away
flowering plants. If your visitors love it and plant it in their garden, they
will surely remember attending your wedding. Place the plant inside a terra
cotta planter and then add a small thank you note and decorate the plant with
some ribbons or by painting a design on the pot.
Giving away fragrant soaps and
candles is also a good idea. These are not hard to find. You can always buy them
in bulk from your local stores or you can make them yourself. If you are
planning to create your own, buy the ingredients and then the essential oils
needed for making the soaps or the scented candles. You can shape them any way
you want.
Giving away wedding favors,
whether as a tradition or as a way of showing gratitude to the guest is a good
idea. It does not always have to be expensive. As long as it is given
wholeheartedly by the couple, the guests will cherish it.
