</script></div><p>There are so many things to prepare for a wedding and a lot of time needed to make sure everything is in place. From thinking of the best wedding date, to the gown of the bride and the wedding entourage, it all consumes time and effort before decisions could take place. In addition, to add to these, wedding favors should not be set aside or worst forgotten. The giving of souvenirs to guests is also a much-anticipated part of a wedding.</p>
<p>Giving of wedding favors started centuries ago. It is said that in the 16th century, the rich Europeans used to give their wedding guests souvenirs or what they call bonbonniere. A bonbonniere is a small box made of porcelain, crystal or precious stones that contains sugar cubes or confection. For them, it symbolizes royalty and wealth. Other custom involves the giving of five candies that embodies the five common wishes of newlywed couples such as health, happiness, fertility, longevity and wealth.</p>
<p>Over time, sugarcoated almonds replaced the traditional gift giving with sugar and candies. Usually, these are given in set of three or five. A set of three symbolizes the husband, wife and future offspring while the set of five represents health, happiness, fertility, longevity and wealth.</p>
<p>Other wedding favors depend on the cultures and traditions of each country. Like in Malaysia, couples give a hand painted egg that symbolizes fertility. In Japan, paper cranes made by the bride and used as decorations during the wedding are also given away. The paper cranes symbolize fidelity, good fortune and longevity.</p>
<p>In this modern times, the type of wedding give-away have evolved from the traditional to a more personalized and more practical items like scented candles, soap, picture frames, compact discs with the favorite songs of the couple, wine glasses and glass coasters. These are only some of the many available items today. Some couples also prefer to print or engraved their names on the keepsakes.</p>
<p>Wedding event organizers also offer in their package the preparation of wedding favors. The couple to be wed could choose from the many available wedding souvenirs or they can design one that suits the taste and preference of the couple. In addition, the internet is a rich source of the types and designs of the gifts they could ever think.</p>
<p>Normally, the type of souvenirs given reflects the personalities of the couple and also based on the theme of their wedding. If budget is not a problem, the couple could choose expensive items. On the other hand, they could settle for the most affordable type of gift and there are so many in the market today.</p>
<p>Wedding favors need not be expensive to be unique or outstanding. The most important thing is that the newly weds show appreciation to their guests who spend their time and share their very special moment. It is a symbol of gratitude that reminds them that they were a part of such unforgettable experience in the lives of a newly wed couple.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.momentsofelegance.com">Wedding favors</a> have gone customary these days. This is because the groom and the bride say farewell to singleness by thanking the guests who graced such occasions as bridal showers. And these come in many different varieties these days. Also try choosing some <a href="http://www.momentsofelegance.com/catalog/beach-wedding-favors-c-51.html">beach wedding favors</a> from www.momentsofelegance.com.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From the moment you got engaged, thoughts of your wedding have filled your head. It is supposed to be a magical event that you and your guest will always remember. To do that, it can&#8217;t just be a cookie-cutter wedding; you want something that all your own. Of course there are the wedding favors. Making sure you have unique wedding favors is a start. There is no magic formula for that unique wedding, but if you see some of the things other people have done you might get some ideas.</p>
<p>One very sweet, unique idea came to this one couple. The enclosed a few dried and pressed red rose pedals with the invitations they sent out. They also enclosed a note to bring the pedals with them to the ceremony. There they were added with white rose pedals and given to the flower girl. Before the bride walked down the isle there was a carpet of pedals from friends and family. Everyone had their own special part in the ceremony.</p>
<p>The ceremony it&#8217;s self really lends it&#8217;s self to so many ways to be creative and to make your wedding beautiful and unique. One interesting one was in a wedding of an Irish American family. Along with the tuxedo the groom and grooms men for a sash of their family clan. It took a little searching on the internet and special ordering but the end result was moving. Another beautiful idea was for a night time wedding. It was kept in low light after everyone was seated. As the bride&#8217;s maids and groom&#8217;s men marched down the aisle each of them carried a pair of ornate lanterns. At what served as the alter the lanterns were placed (and turned up) and the entire ceremony was conducted by lantern light. It cast a nice romantic glow as they exchanged vows. Others that have had an outside wedding have shied away from the traditional layout with the bride and groom at the front of rows of chairs. Instead, they opted for a round dais or alter in the center of rings of chairs. The bride and groom would enter from opposite sides, passing under rose covered arbors to meet in the center. It gave the ceremony a very intimate feel.</p>
<p>Still others have tried to take that intimate feel to the reception. One idea was to light it almost entirely by candle light. To get the effect they wanted they placed round mirrors on the tables with a candle in a glass vase in the center. From the ceiling they hung fixtures with multifaceted reflective surfaces. It gave the feeling of dancing under twinkling stars. If you wanted to get really nutty you could turn down the thermostat and use just a little dry ice to give it a &#8220;A Mid Summer&#8217;s Night&#8221; sort of feel. It would look very magical and Edwardian.</p>
<p>You could go very practical. Kids get bored at receptions and some parents just stop long enough to see the cutting of the cake. Try renting a few kid-sized tables and top it with crayons and coloring books. Sure, the parents won&#8217;t be closing down the reception but it can buy the parents some time to enjoy the event before the kids get too bored</p>
<p>There are all sorts of things you can do that your planner might not think of. It&#8217;s your day and you can make it your own.</p>
