Wedding Favors: Aristocratic Tradition Goes Mainstream

For centuries, European nobility have given small gifts to wedding guests. In recent decades, such "wedding favors" gradually gained popularity in American culture. Now, they have become almost de rigueur.

Rehoboth, MA (PRWEB) November 16, 2006 - A gift to wedding guests, the wedding favor is an expression of gratitude from the bride and groom for helping to celebrate their special day. Though the practice of giving wedding favors (http://www.bellaregalo.com/) all but disappeared for generations, it has recently made an enormous come-back.

The traditional wedding favor, dating back to European nobility in centuries past, was a small ornate box containing sugar cubes. Sugar was then a precious commodity - a luxury enjoyed only on special occasions. Today, sugar cubes remain a popular choice as wedding favor, though they are now colorfully decorated rather than plain.

Other edibles - chocolates and almonds in particular - also have a rich history as wedding favors and therefore remain popular choices. However, there's no reason to limit oneself to the traditional choices. Depending on the location or theme of the wedding, favors can be selected which reinforce its special nature:

•    For outdoor weddings, choose garden wedding favors (http://www.bellaregalo.com/garden-wedding-favors.html) such as topiary soaps or floral mint tins.

•    For weddings by the sea, choose nautical or beach wedding favors (http://www.bellaregalo.com/nautical-wedding-favors.html) such as chocolate seashells or seashore magnets.

•    For traditional or romantic weddings, personalized wedding favors (http://www.bellaregalo.com/personalized-wedding-favors.html) are a natural. For example, personalized mint tins or wedding cake cookies.
