why wedding favors?
brought to you by Beau-coup Wedding Favors

Wedding favors are thoughtful mementos given by the newlyweds to their wedding guests as a symbol of gratitude for sharing their special day. The gesture of giving wedding favors can be traced back to ancient Rome and has become a lovely custom in many cultures.

Sugar-coated almonds, or dragées, are traditional wedding favors symbolizing the bitterness and sweetness of married life. Other edible sweets such as a piece of the groom's cake, cookies and chocolate favors have also been presented over the years. Today, couples are being more creative with their selection of wedding party favors, whether it's for the reception, the rehearsal dinner or the bridal shower. Picture frames, candles, wine stoppers, cocktail shakers, handmade sachets, mini vases, personalized mint tins, miniature gift books, seed favors, themed cookies, holiday ornaments, and personalized keepsakes are all popular wedding favors choices.

Wedding favors can really be anything. The important thing is to choose wedding favors that reflect your personal style and impart a meaningful message. Wedding favors are often placed at each wedding reception guest's place setting or elegantly displayed on a table near the entrance to the wedding reception venue. Again, we invite you to be different and use your imagination. We hope you will be inspired by all the unique wedding favor ideas as well as creative wedding decoration presentation ideas throughout our website.

Unique and thoughtful wedding favors can leave a lasting impression and add a personal touch to the wedding reception. Many couples are choosing wedding favors that celebrate their cultural heritage and reflect their personal style. Wedding favors that accent a wedding theme are also extremely popular. Your guests will especially appreciate wedding favors that they can use and treasure - like a pair of beautiful chopsticks, a handmade silk sachet favor or a decorative picture frame. There is tremendous appeal to the idea that the guests will enjoy the wedding favors long after the wedding has passed.
