Traditions We Love: Wedding Favors

·

Wedding favors are a time honored tradition that date all the way back to the 16th century! At their opulent weddings and parties, French aristocrats would present their guests with delicate boxes filled with sugared almonds. The bitterness of the almonds combined with the sweetness of the sugar was meant to represent the bitter-sweetness of marriage. It was a great honor to receive such a gift at these events. It not only symbolized the status of the couple getting married, but the love they had for their guests, as sugar was thought to have medicinal properties.

The tradition quickly spread and is one that is still widely practiced today. In fact, sugared almonds remain one of the most popular wedding favors! However, that hasn't stopped modern newlyweds from taking a more creative approach to their favors. Unsure of what to gift your guests for your own wedding? We've compiled a list of our Top 10 favorite favors to help get you started!
