Help and Advice - Wedding Favors

According to history it was the Aristocrats of Europe that started this particular trend. A cube of sugar was placed in a pretty little box at each setting and these were called ‘bonboniere’. Sugar was a symbol of wealth and even royalty.

In the U.K. it was traditional to place 5 sugared almonds in the box or pouch and these were said to represent health, happiness, well-being, long life and fertility (of the bride).

A wedding favor lets you say a big thanks to all your guests for attending your wedding, giving them something to cherish from your big day.

It’s the little details that can make such a difference or impression upon your guests and so this little gift has evolved, the options are boundless from handcrafted ‘happiness’ candles, to scented soaps, although something of an edible nature is still very popular.

We know of one couple who opted to give their guest the means to make their favourite cocktail, the drink they received at the reception. We thought it such a personal touch that one bride wrote out a hand written note to each guests and included that in the favor box.
