Wedding favors given as tokens of appreciation (done)
Did you ever notice that you were presented a nicely packaged token of appreciation from the wedding couple for attending their wedding? Did you wonder why? In case you did, you were the recipient of a wedding favor.
The tradition of presenting gifts in weddings by the wedding couples to guests attending marriages is called wedding favors. This is an old practice followed in many countries around the world. They are meant to be tokens of appreciation presented to guests for attending the weddings. These could either be presented in the weddings itself or several times in receptions. In the past, the practice was known as bonbonniere among European aristocrats who followed this tradition centuries back. Bonbonniere is a small box similar to the size of a trinket box. It was made of crystal, porcelain or precious stones depending on the status of the individual. It usually was used to contain sugar cubes and confectionaries. It later transformed to sugared almonds that are now used for wedding favors. Jordan almonds are placed in these small boxes and gifted to wedding guests as appreciation for attending the weddings. The almonds signify fertility, longevity, wealth, health and happiness. Interestingly, the combination of bitter almonds and sweet candy portray the bitter-sweetness and balance that needs to be maintained in a marriage relationship.
The wedding mementos have also seen changes in recent times ranging from chocolates, candies, sugared almonds, candles and scented soaps to name a few. The tokens of appreciation are also customized based on the preferences of the wedding couple and also the seasonal theme when the wedding is being performed. The gifts may have the names of the couples imprinted too. Since modern times is all about technology, CDs containing favorite songs of the wedding couple are also a hot choice.
