Wedding Favors to Commemorate the Moment!
The custom of giving wedding favors can be traced back to the Romans in 400 B.C. when the groom distributed walnuts to his friends as a farewall to being a bachelor. Also during the 15th century it was customary for the English Court to give little wedding favor boxes made of precious metal filled with almonds to symbolize good wishes.
Giving wedding favors as wedding souvenirs to celebrate the bride and groom began as a wedding reception tradition in Italy during the 18th century. Practiced only by the upper class, noble families would give solid silver wedding favor gifts to as many as 1800 guests at their wedding. By the end of the 19th century, even the peasants would give wedding tradition almonds in a gold papercard box to the guests at their wedding. Nowadays, party favors can be given to commemorate any occasion from birthday parties to baby showers and even retirement parties. Wedding favors also now come in all sorts of sizes and shapes and can be edible or practical. You can give chocolate, Personalized Flower Seed Packet Favors, or even Coffee Scoops. Whatever fits your style and your wedding theme is perfectly acceptable as a wedding favor.
