. Wedding favors are a gift of appreciation from the bride and groom to the attending guests. The history of wedding favors dates back to centuries ago. Most notably in Italy and France, these gifts were traditionally called a bonbonniere. These tiny keepsakes were given as a thanks, and for good luck. It was believed that a marriage was a lucky occasion and the luck would be bestowed upon the guests, if given by the newly married couple. A bonbonniere was usually a little box made of stones or metal. This box was filled with delightful sugary treats. Today, you still might find a small box of chocolates or sugar mints wrapped up in a silky ribbon, however, these wedding favors, have changed with time.
In our day, we have seen some very unique wedding favors on display. In addition to being unique, they can be very practical and creative as well. For example, I was a guest at a wedding where both the bride and groom were Dentists. At the reception table, and beside each plate, was a toothbrush and floss. These were not your typical tooth brush and floss. The toothbrush handle was a delicately twisted green stem. It had a cover over the brush which represented a beautiful flower. The dental floss box looked like a box of flower seedlings. This was very unique to the couple who had gotten married, and one of the most practical wedding favors I have ever seen!
Practical wedding favors would be a gift that could be used in the course of a normal day, such as kitchen utensils, soaps, an elegant pad of paper, or perhaps a candle. Many couples like to give a practical wedding favor, because their special day will be remembered longer, and with each use of the

. It feels good to give a gift you know will be used. It can be a lot of fun selecting your unique wedding favor. One trend that is becoming popular is a themed wedding. You can really highlight your wedding theme with creative gifts of appreciation. I will give a few examples: A miniature spice set would really compliment an autumn wedding. A beach wedding may suggest flip - flop coasters, or starfish wine glass charms. Another way to personalize your unique wedding favor might be to give an eco - friendly gift, if that is something that you stand for. A plant is a practical, unique, and beautiful reminder of your special day!
Whether your wedding is elegant and candle lit, or backyard bar - b-q- style, wedding favors are fun for the guests, and an integral part of appreciation. Uniqueness and practicality are a sure way of giving not only a gift, but a little piece of your self as well. Have fun!
