United States of America (Press Release) August 9, 2007 --
My wife and I remember well the process of picking “favors” for our very own wedding some 30 years ago now. At the time I never new what wedding favors were until I saw what was picked out. So please allow me to explain the term “wedding favors” to those of you who were like me.
A “favor” is a small gift for the wedding attendees. It’s an allegedly useful item that’s usually made of glass or metal. (Cheap plastic and light cardboard don’t seem special enough for most..) There is often a beautiful ribbon, or sometimes a candle involved in the favor and it probably has some inscription to commemorate the event or at least a card on wedding stationery.
“Favor”, "A small gift given to a guest at a party", is one of the definitions. To my way of thinking, you are not only obligated to your wedding guests on this day of days but you should see the giving of a wedding favor as a sign of you and your new partners gratitude to your guests for sharing this most memorable day in both your life's.
Apparently there are some who see no point to the giving of wedding favors and have said it is done just to avoid embarrassing ourselves in front of the Pope or Martha Stewart or whoever else we may have invited. Unfortunately for these people, and I know they are out there, the thought of "giving" is not in their vocabulary. If showing some form of gratitude to your guests is a bad thing then why are they there for you and your new partner at all? Of the top of my head, I can’t think of any of my friends or family that would negatively judge us by the quality of the wedding favors, but on the other hand they would appreciate the effort we put into showing our gratitude for them being witness to our most splendid of event. So go to the site and see for yourself at http://www.lovemyweddingfavors.com
