In the nineteenth century, it used to be the custom for guests to take a bit of the wedding cake home with them in a box. That was the "wedding favor" of the day. Well, with today's wedding receptions now long festive events with lots of eating and partying, that doesn't cut it -- the cake is consumed at the wedding itself.
Instead, newly married couples give out all manner of interesting little trinkets, knick-knacks, and other wedding favors to their guests.
Frankly, the number of items available is shocking. LittleThingsFavors.com, for example, has over 2600 different wedding favors available -- everything from candles and decorative soaps to photo frames, glasses, and more! And to celebrate the opening of their greatly expanded website, they are offering a 10% discount on orders over $50.00 (just use the coupon code "grandopening") and free shipping to anyplace n the 48 contiguous states and Canada via UPS Ground.
What can you get? Well, for starters, there are personalized Hershey's Miniatures and Kisses. You can also find place card holders, bath accessories and a whole host of personalized favors for your wedding guests.
Given our wedding colors, I suspect that these lavender roses would have ended up on every plate at our reception 12 years ago had they been available at the time -- they would have matched the lavender and purple roses in my bride's wedding bouquet.
