Eternalize Wedding Memories With Personalized Favors
Nowadays, in many cultures it has become a tradition for just-married couples to see off their guests with a small souvenir. Wedding favors express the couple’s gratitude for partaking in their marriage and serve as long-lasting memories of the celebration.
But it’s not only recently that people began to give wedding favors. The history of the custom extends back several centuries and starts in Europe. Back then the most common favors for wedding guests were sugar cubes and, later, sugar-coated almonds. The latter was widely used and there were always five sugar coated almonds given as a favor. They stood for happiness, wealth, fertility, health and long life. The sweetness of the sugar and the bitterness of the almond represented the bitter sweetness of marriage.
Later on many other wedding favor ideas came about. As edible favors didn’t last long and people wanted to make the wedding memories long-lasting, they made up different decorative favors. Sweetly scented sachets, soaps, small bouquets and other material favors were used to correspond with the occasion.
Moreover, in recent years it has become common to engrave, emboss or embellish the bride and groom’s names on the favors. Personalized wedding favors inscribed with names or sincere and best wishes from the just-married couple make the keepsake more meaningful and intimate. Such favors are one-of-a-kind mementos for the guests to fondly remember the happy celebration of the couple for years to come.
Therefore, if you just want to impress your wedding guests then traditional edible favors are fine. But to make the reception unforgettable, personalized favors are perfect.
