Brides traditionally give favors at their wedding reception as a means of saying thank you to their guests. It's a small token of appreciation, meant to communicate affection and gratitude to those who share the bride's special day.

The tradition of giving wedding favors dates back to Europe in the 16th century, when aristocrats and nobleman offered gifts of perfume and pastries to guests that had often traveled for days or weeks to attend the festivities. Sometimes, more elaborate gifts were given as a show of the host family's largesse. For example, the French nobility - perhaps the most decadent class in history - handed out Bonbonnieres. These were exquisitely flavorful bonbons (sugared almonds) presented in glass or crystal boxes. Over time, the gift of five almonds has become a traditional wedding favor symbolizing the five hopes of the new family: wealth, health, longevity, happiness, and fertility. The modern bonbonniere is sometimes given in a net or mesh bag or gift box, and often filled with chocolates or small pastries.

Modern brides often strive hard for a unique or truly creative wedding favor gift that reflects the happy couples' interests or tastes. For example, some couples choose to base their gift around the bride or groom's favorite pastime, such as golf, playing cards, or sailing. Other brides choose to extend the hospitality of the reception into the future, giving tea, coffee, or even cocktail beverages. These gifts keep well, are easy to pack and carry by guests going returning home, yet present a delicate touch of consideration.

Of course, brides may also choose to give a keepsake or permanent souvenir of their happy day. One example of such gifts would be a silver candle, which when lighted commemorates the date of the ceremony.

Favors might also echo the theme of a wedding or reception. For example, guests at a beach-themed wedding might receive a flip-flop photo frame, or candles shaped as seashells. Weddings with a seasonal theme would include colors and textures appropriate to the season. Guests at an autumn wedding, for example, might find themselves presented with pastries shaped and colored like fall leaves, or a gel candle that includes leaves and earth tone colors in its stem.

A recent trend in bridal favors is personalization. New production techniques have allowed couples to include their names and wedding dates on each individual favor. Although prohibitively expensive in times past, these distinct favors are increasingly popular with brides anxious to commemorate their date in even the smallest details.

When selecting favors, the only true criterion is the taste and budget of the bride or wedding planner. Favors are today an expression of the bride's taste and sensibilities, and should be considered as such when making the favors' selection. History and tradition have their place, but ultimately the bride should decide what's best for her, and come to the most unique expression of her creativity based on her own tastes.

I Now Pronounce You Paid In Full...

There's no two ways about it: weddings are expensive. Paying for every detail is enough to drain any family's financial coffers and - even worse - leave them wrestling with debt. Especially for new couples paying their own way during the wedding, the expenses quickly add up.

The following is a traditional guide to dividing expenses equally and fairly among the four major participants in planning the four main parts of the wedding celebration: rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, and honeymoon. These are guidelines more than rules, and are intended to show tradition more
than carved-in-stone etiquette.

The Bride's Family


There's a popular misconception among the unmarried of the world that the bride's family foots the entire bill. That's not entirely true, though unfortunately it may feel that way for the father of the bride!

Traditionally, the bride's family finances the reception dinner with all its facets: the food, drink, venue, service staff (including tips),
flower arrangements, wedding favors, and any other miscellany. The bride's family also pays for many of the necessities leading up to the ceremony: these usually include the bridal gown, the wedding
invitations and save-the-date reminders,
as well as the engagement and wedding photographs.

Finally (!) the wedding ceremony costs, the photographer and videographer fees, the cost of the ring bearer and flower girl accessories, the transportation costs and bridesmaids bouquets are all picked up by the bride's family. Honestly, if you're the parent of a young girl, start saving right now!

The Bride


Compared to her family, the bride gets off relatively easy. Brides traditionally pay for the groom's wedding band, gifts for her bridesmaids, the bridesmaids' luncheon, her blood test fees, and the wedding day lingerie. In the strictest traditional sense, the bride should also pay for her out-of-town bridesmaids accommodations.

The Groom


Okay, guys. Time to pony up. Following the engagement ring (that two-month's salary guideline is passé, by the way) you've still got a few things left to buy. You'll pay for the honeymoon, the marriage license, and gifts for your groomsmen. The gentleman groom,however, also pays for the bridal bouquet and corsages for your mother and your new mother-in-law. You'll also pick up the boutonnieres, ties, and accessories for the groomsmen, and finally the bride's wedding ring. Gifts for the ushers and for your parents go the extra distance to showing your class. You should also pay the honorarium for the judge, justice of the peace, or clergyman who officiates the ceremony, too.

The Groom's Family


Besides their own attire, the groom's family is responsible for the rehearsal dinner and all its details.

The Maid of Honor


Bachelorette parties and wedding
showers are the responsibility of the maid of honor. This includes all the details, top to bottom.

The Best Man


The best man is master of ceremonies and godfather of the bachelor party, from the planning to the execution to pouring all the guests into cabs at the end of the night. It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it.

The Groomsmen and Bridesmaids


Most of the attire - for example, the tuxedo rental and costs of the gown - are the responsibility of the individual wedding party member. They also give a gift to the newlyweds. Groomsmen arriving from out-of-town are also expected to pay for their accommodations.

My Wedding Favors has a complete selection of elegant yet inexpensive wedding favors to fit any taste and style. We also carry a complete selection of groomsmen and bridesmaids gifts. Visit us online at www.myweddingfavors.com
