rethinking Wedding Favors: A Modern Take On A Classic Tradition

recently, We Shared A Tiktok In Our “wedding Etiquette Pt. 15” Series, Diving Into The Traditional Practice Of Wedding Guest Favors. This Sparked An Engaging Conversation About The Relevance Of These Tokens In Today’s Weddings, And We Couldn’t Help But Express Our Evolving Views On This Age-old Custom. This Had Us Rethinking Wedding Favors, Offering A Modern Take On A Classic Tradition.

the Tradition Of Giving Wedding Favors Is Steeped In History, Tracing Back To The French Aristocracy And Upper Classes. The Term “wedding Favor” Originates From The French Word bonbonnière, Which Literally Means “box Of Bonbons.” These Bonbonnières Were Luxurious Small Gift Boxes Filled With Sweets Or Other Treats, Bestowed Upon Guests As A Gesture Of Gratitude And To Wish Them Good Luck.

while This Tradition Carries A Certain Charm, We Believe It’s Time To Modernize And Personalize The Concept Of Wedding Favors. The Days Of Generic Chocolates, Mints, And Trinkets Are Behind Us. Instead, We Are Advocating For Favors That Enhance The Wedding Experience, Reflect The Couple’s Personality, And Offer Genuine Value To Guests. Here Are Some Of Our Favorite Contemporary Favor Ideas:

1. Calligraphy Keepsakes

introduce A Touch Of Elegance And Personalization With A Live Calligraphy Artist At Your Reception. They Can Create Bespoke Items For Guests Throughout The Evening, Such As Luggage Tags, Themed Cups, Or Key Chains. These Keepsakes Not Only Align With Your Wedding Theme But Also Provide A Unique, Memorable Experience For Your Guests.
