Wedding favors are small gifts that the bride and groom offer to the guests as a way of thanking them for sharing in their special day. Interestingly, wedding favors dates back for centuries. In fact, experts believe it all started during the 16th Century when the bride and groom would present small gifts to the guests.

Today, wedding favors have become an important part of the wedding ceremony, symbolizing the appreciation and value that the couple places on family and friends. The great thing about wedding favors is that they can be any number of things. If you were to look at the types of wedding favors used around the world, you would see a huge variety of items. Typically, each culture chooses something familiar with that culture.

When choosing a wedding favor for your guests, try to think of something that the majority of people would enjoy receiving. While you cannot please everyone, you can offer something special that comes from the heart ñ nothing is better than that. As the guests leave the wedding, they will take their wedding favor with them, as a keepsake of your wedding day. Then, each time they use or look at the favor, they will have a fond memory of your marriage.
