History of wedding favors
Historically, the giving of wedding favors is thought to date back to old European aristocracy, who gave small boxes filled with sugar to their wedding guests. Since sugar was scarce in their time, it was considered the ultimate prestigious gift.
Eventually, the idea of wedding favors spread to the masses and took the form of five sugar-coated almonds wrapped in delicate cloths or boxes. The almonds were thought to symbolize longevity, fertility, health, wealth, and happiness.
Today's wedding favors and gifts for your guest
Today wedding favors have become completely unique and depends on the theme of the wedding and the couple getting married.

Other wedding guest favors include edible wedding favors, like customized chocolate bars, flower & garden wedding favors. Wedding keepsake favors include trinkets, pens, goblets, and more. Choosing and buying wedding favors
Choosing and buying your wedding favors is relatively easy.
