Wedding favor ideas are a critical part of your wedding. Wedding favors are a small gift<\/a> that you and your partner give guests as a thank-you for attending your wedding. They are also a memento that your guests can use as a reminder of the happy day that you all shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The History of Wedding Favors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wedding favors first appeared in history during the 16th century. Back then, couples commonly gave their guests love knots, which are little fabric knots made of lace and ribbon. Love knots represent the bond of love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, the tradition of giving favors evolved. French and Italian aristocrats gave their guests bonbonnieres, which were porcelain, crystal, or metal boxes that contained sugar delicacies. Bonbonnieres represented luck as well because, back then, weddings were considered lucky occasions. By gifting bonbonnieres, the couple passed their good luck onto their guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another tradition that still exists is Jordan almonds. The traditional bonbonnieres evolved as candy makers started dipping almonds in sugar or another sweet coating. Many couples give five Jordan almonds as a favor to represent the five wedding wishes: fertility, health, wealth, happiness, and longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Pick the Perfect Wedding Favor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The perfect wedding favor ideas are a reflection of you and your partner, so they should be something that the two of you love! Wedding favors also commonly align with your wedding theme<\/a> or aesthetic, so that’s a great way to decide which wedding favor is right for you as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You also want your wedding favor to be functional for your guests. We’ve all been gifted something that we never ended up using, and that’s not what you want to happen at your wedding. If your wedding favor isn’t useful to your guests, they might not take it and leave you with a bunch of extra favors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To ensure that you get the most out of your investment in favors, consider your favor’s usability. Is your favor something a commonly-used tool? If you received it as a favor, would you incorporate it into your home or toss it when you’ve left the venue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another great way to decrease excess is with edible or single-use favors. Food, drinks, alcohol, and bath products are easy to use and won’t take up clutter in your guests’ homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
