February 10th, 2010 | By WeddingPlanner77

We don’t usually pay much attention to the symbolisms of those cute items they give out on weddings. They are just favors, something for guests to bring home so that they will be reminded of this important event. If they are edible we are eager to take a bite. If they are the kind that you keep, it stays on our dressers for a while. But there are wedding favors that actually have deeper meanings.

In Asian weddings, for example, sleek candle favors are reminders of lasting love. It is usually engraved with the symbol of double happiness. The frog has been a symbol of prosperity, wealth, and abundance in some cultures; fertility in others. As such it is a favorite favor to thank guests who graced weddings. The people of Ireland believed them to be close relatives of the leprechaun and capable of playing tricks on you when least expected. Among the ancient Egyptians and Greeks frogs symbolized inspiration and fertility.

It is not a surprise that fall weddings are popular. The weather is just right – not too hot with just a bit of nippiness in the air. Multicolor naturally decorates the outdoors. In earlier times, it was the time when harvest chores have just been finished and the barn was full of supplies for the winter. It was deemed the right time to get married.

Fall weddings were closely related to nature; and fall wedding favors followed suit. Colors are the beautiful palette of reds, oranges and golds. A box of chocolates with a beautiful fall leaf accent will fit in nicely with the autumn theme. So will luminous mini lanterns reminiscent of farm lamps. They will look very pretty all lighted up and scattered around the room.

Before I got married a few years ago, I was experimenting homemade crafts. When I was planning my wedding I decided to give candle wedding favors. I thought about doing them myself until I decided I had enough stress planning the wedding that perhaps I could just buy candle wedding favors instead. It turned out to be a good decision. None of the candles I had done came out as creative and as elegantly packaged as the ones you can buy in wedding stores and online.

There are so many kinds of candle wedding favors available. You can choose from different sizes: you can get small round tea candles, pillar candles and even tall taper candles. You also have a wide range of colors to choose from depending on your wedding color motif. You can also get candles with scents. Lastly, you can even personalize the candles by having your names and your wedding dates printed on the candle wrapper or holder. You can also choose from several wrappings and packaging.

I come from a big, loud and boisterous family. We always look forward to occasions where we can all get together. A wedding is one such occasion wherein we get to see relatives and friends whom we haven’t seen in a long time. Being Asian means that we always try to infuse a little of our culture in weddings. Having Asian themed wedding favors is one way of sharing our heritage with the guests.

There are several asian themed wedding favors to choose from. If you would like some Chinese influence, you can always give away fortune cookies. Fortune cookies are always fun for guests. If you want a Philippine wedding favor you can give away buri fans. Well designed chopsticks are also great wedding favors.

There are several occasions that bring families and friends together. The most popular ones are weddings and funerals. Weddings of course are more preferred because they are always a festive occasion. Most brides and their families plan for their weddings months in advance. Nowadays, the birthday cake, the dresses and even the wedding party favors are already decided months ahead along with the wedding venue.

Although there are wedding planners which you can hire these days, most brides still want to be hands on when planning their wedding. Weddings are after all the one of the if not the biggest thing to ever happen to a first time bride and / or groom. Brides tend to fuss over almost every detail. Most of the time the bride and groom agree on the church and the reception. The rest of the details like the dresses, the flowers and the wedding party favors are left to the bride.

If you’re planning to travel your wedding cake all the way to the venue, make sure you’ve chosen the most beautiful among the many choices in wedding cake boxes. These come in many colors and designs so it’s already you and your partner’s decision which one to choose. Maybe it would be much better if you opt for wedding cake boxes in shade of the same motif you have for your wedding.

In some weddings, mini-cakes are most of the time given away as souvenirs. To make it more presentable, wedding stores also design and make small pieces of wedding cake boxes to make their cake-giveaways more presentable. These cute boxes will definitely look good on pink, royal blue or whatever the motif is. They’ll even be more unique with a personalized dedication from the newlyweds.
