If you decide to include gifts for your guests as part of your event, they would add a decorative element.
Having a gift for your guests serves as a lovely token of thanks and remembrance of your special event.
A small, ornate box at a place setting or on a decorative table is a wonderful treat! We have plenty of great ideas to share with you.
A little history lesson.. The popular belief is that wedding favors started with the Europeans, especially the Italians, French nobles and aristocrats. The wedding favors were then made of sugar cubes or delicate confections, since sugar was quite an expensive commodity during that era. In addition, sugar also symbolized wealth and royalty. These sugar cubes or confections were placed inside small trinket boxes called “bonbonniere”. The boxes were made of crystal, porcelain or metal and decorated with precious or semi-precious stones. These bonbonniers were given by the bride and groom to their wedding guests as gestures of thanks for sharing in the happiness of their wedding day.
