Wedding favors are the perfect way to show how you feel. Though your wedding guests will already know that you care about them, wedding favors give an additional touch of thoughtfulness. They don’t have to be a major item or an expensive one. Something small but meaningful as a memento of the day is all that is needed. There are so many options to choose from in wedding favors. Only your imagination limits you. You can buy them already to give out, or you can make your own. It depends only on what you want to do and the time you have to devote to it. If you plan to buy wedding favors, you can choose something that is meaningful to you and your groom or matches the theme of the wedding ceremony and reception. Personalizing them with your names and the date of the nuptials will make them all the more special. One very good option for wedding favors is a small candle with a ribbon tied around it with a picture of you and your groom attached. A softly scented candle is a very good ...

Ever wonder why guests are given wedding favors? Early accounts date back to 16th century England where it was common for couples to give love knots made of lace and ribbon to their guests as a favor and to represent their bond of love.  The French and Italians, seem to have taken it one step further giving a box made of porcelain, crystal, precious stones or metal, called a "bonbonniere". Inside was delicacies made of sugar. It was from these boxed and gift wrapped confections that today's wedding favors are derived. Some couples will leave favors at each place setting, while others will have a favor table where the small gifts are displayed and a decorative card attached containing each guest's name and table assignment. Or you can choose to give favors out by hand in exchange for a wedding gift. Whichever way you decide it's your choice. So are they worth it? Favors have become expected, so couples think their guests might think them are stingy, ungrate...
