Why 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, personalized instant photo guest 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.
