Chocolate Wedding Favors: A Sweet Show of Appreciation
Wedding favors are small gifts given by the bride and groom as a token of gratitude to their guests for attending their special day. Giving wedding favors to guests at a wedding ceremony is a time honored tradition. It is believed that the first wedding favors or bonbonnieres were small trinket boxes made of precious stones, procelain and crystal. The content of the boxes usually contained sugar cubes and other fine confections. In centuries past, five surgared almonds or confetti were given to wedding guests to symbolize the hopes of long life, fertility, health, happiness and wealth for the newly married couple.
