Choosing a unique favor is a great way to make your wedding stand out. To find something that is unusal and meaningful, why not explore the wedding customs of other cultures?
The Chinese characters for double happiness are found everywhere at Chinese weddings and the wedding favor is no exception. The symbol, an important part of the nuptials, is most frequently embossed on the side of candles for the guests to keep as keepsakes. It also might show up on a tea tin since offering cups of tea is a gesture of respect for elders. Another symbol, the character for love, is part of wedding favors like glass coasters.
The capia is a small corsage given at Latin or Hispanic weddings. The bride and groom remove the capia off the doll dressed as the bride and pass them as they walk around the reception or pin them onto the guests. These little corsages often have little cards on them that contain the name of the bride and groom and their wedding date.
While the traditional Native American ceremony is quite different from those of other nations and vary from tribe to tribe, today many Native Americans blend their heritage into their wedding. Nature is important in all the ceremonies and customs of Native Americans, and to show that link with nature, wedding favors of seed pods shaped in symbols like daisies is one method to provide that link. Many times the seeds are those of wildflowers. This makes a wonderful way to thank your guests for sharing in your wedding day.
