Spread Smiles In Your Wedding With Wedding Favours

Weddings have become quite demanding and stressful. Since there is a long list of activities to organize before a wedding the families get together and divide tasks so that they can be completed. Other families like to hire wedding planners in order to enjoy the wedding without any hassle or stress. Wedding planners are expensive but they take care of all of the things so beautifully that families eventually get to love the stress free days of the wedding. These wedding planners arrange everything, from invites to venue, catering, decorations and also Wedding Favours.

Wedding Favours are small trinket boxes that are filled with sweets and candy or other types of gifts for the guests. These gifts are distributed at the end of the ceremony or usually given to guests when they are leaving the ceremony. The purpose of these gifts is to appreciate their support and the wishes they have given to the bride and groom. If the families follow the ancient tradition then they should distribute five white Jordanian almonds for the five wishes they hope the guests would extend to the bride and groom. These five wishes are happiness, wealth, health, prosperity and fertility. Wedding Favours were initially started by the ancient European aristocrats who showcased their wealth by giving out sugar cubes in porcelain boxes studded with gemstones.

These gifts were a part of only the royal weddings, as families of modest means could not afford sugar cubes. Soon after when the sugar prices decreased the contents of the sparkling porcelain boxes changed to white Jordanian almonds that were sugar coated to add the sweet touch. Wedding Favours have since then become a popular practice in all weddings. As the families of modest means adopted this tradition the contents of the favours have also changed. Many people give candy, mints or chocolates because these are easy to afford and are available in many types and colors. Heart shaped candy; chocolates or cookies are quite popular.

In Asian cultures these Wedding Favours are packed in fancy cloth pouches and contain a mix of salted and sugar coated dry fruits. These favours are packed at home and usually girls get together to fill up the pouches and tie ribbons on them. This is considered to be an occasion in many families. Wedding Favours of these countries have different salted and sweetened almonds, cashew nuts, pistachios or peanuts that are packed with some candy or a mint as well. These gifts are distributed from the groom’s family after the wedding celebration is over. This act symbolizes celebration and happiness as the wedding is conducted.

Many families like to include multicolored candy or mints in a transparent box or a shot glass. Such kinds of Wedding Favours are extremely popular and they look beautiful because of the colorful appearance. All of these gifts and boxes can be personalized with initials, names, wedding dates or messages from the bride and the groom.
