Wedding Favors, Bridal Shower Favors, Baby Shower Favors, Christening Favors … What’s the meaning behind your favors for your special event?

To understand the meaning of why wedding favors and other special occasion favors are handed to guests, one needs to look into its history.

Wedding favors, also known as bomboniere or boubounaires, are traced back to the Europeans. The newlywed aristocrats would send their wedding guests home with a small gift as wedding favors. It has been the belief that, by handing out wedding favors, the newlywed couple is bestowing their good luck upon their guests. In most cases, these lucky gifts consisted of delicate boxes made of precious natural materials such as crystal and porcelain filled with treats made of sugar. Today, these sweets are better known as Jordan Almonds and are usually found wrapped in elegant tulle, along with a personalized ribbon and attached to your wedding favors. You will often find five Jordan almonds or pieces of candy, which represent fertility, health, wealth, happiness and longevity.

Through the years, wedding favors have also expanded in meaning. While they are still a way of sharing lives fortunate experiences, it is also a way of sharing appreciation and thanking your guests for being present and helping you celebrate one of the most important days of your life. Additionally, it has been a way of having your joyous day remain in their hearts and minds for years to come.

So when your wedding day arrives and your handing out your memorable wedding favors, know that your thanking you guests and wishing them well in many special traditional ways.

Here are some or our popular wedding favors from this week:

Useful Wedding Favors

Wedding favors that are both useful and practical have become many couples primary choice as a way to thank their guests for sharing their special day.

Exclusive Moonlight conducted an electronic choice survey consisting of over 300 brides who had purchased useful wedding favors for their special day, ranging from cup and saucer sets to oil and vinegar servers, and asked what made them choose their favors. Approximately 3 out of every 5 (60%) brides responded “I love knowing that my guests will keep their favors in a special place where they will often use it and think back to our wedding day”. Other popular responses were tight budget, the item fit the wedding’s theme, and for sentimental reasons.

Practical wedding favors were the hands-down winner because the wedding favors do not become dust collectors or even worse -- trash. Instead, they are used, shared, remembered, and help keep the new husband and wife close to those that took part of their celebration of love and commitment for one other.

Wedding Superstitions

Don’t do this, don’t forget that, and make sure to wear those…. Some of the most traditional parts of your wedding may stem from superstitions.

Every culture has superstitions surrounding marriage and the wedding day itself. Many superstitions are so ingrained they have become a regular part of wedding traditions.

Choosing The Perfect Wedding Dress

He proposed!
You said yes!
The ring is on your finger, and now the planning begins…

Are you a bride-to-be with a vision ready of what her wedding day will look like since a young girl or the type that has just entered a new world overnight? Either way, purchasing a wedding gown is an emotional experience and can be one of the most significant purchases of a bride's life.
Early on, it is important that the bride and groom discuss their wedding budget. Although it is usually the least appealing topic when planning a wedding, it will help you make realistic choices throughout your wedding planning adventure. Once you have agreed on a budget, discuss what type of wedding style or wedding theme you both would like to portray on your wedding day. Will it be an elegant wedding or an informal beach wedding? Perhaps you may like to have a renaissance wedding or a romantic Valentine wedding affair.

Whatever the dream, selecting the gown is a very critical decision in planning the wedding because the style of the dress will set the tone for the entire affair. The decision will reflect the location chosen for the ceremony and reception and will influence all elements of the event, including the attire for the bridesmaids and attendants, color schemes, types of flowers chosen, and even what kind of invitations will be selected.

Keep in mind that while your wedding dress will help in creating the style of your wedding it is also important that your personality shine as well. After all, it is your and your groom-to-be’s wedding. Additionally, whether trying on a variety of dresses or simply going in for a fitting, if you have family or friends helping out in the purchase of your dress, make sure to include them during these excursions.

Another important aspect, yet often difficult to achieve, is choosing a wedding gown that is comfortable. A wedding gown should be comfortable while walking down the aisle and not be distracting while the ceremony is being performed. During the reception, keep in mind that you will be moving a lot while taking pictures, greeting guests, and dancing the night away with your husband.

Lastly, don’t forget to consider what season it will be during your wedding. Most brides prefer a wedding gown that coincides with the weather. For example, a long sleeve wedding gown may be too warm for a summer wedding, while a strapless dress may be a little less than one would prefer for a winter wedding.

Without some knowledge about the bridal gown industry and advance preparation, the process can be overwhelming and stressful. However, with a little research, purchasing the dress of your dreams can be a wonderful experience that will truly reflect the love you will express on your wedding day.

From all of us at Exclusive Moonlight we congratulate you on your engagement and look forward to having the honor of making your wedding day a dream come true.
