Favors Around the World
In most cultures the wedding favor is an important symbol, saying
"thank you for coming". Here are some takes on the wedding favor
from around the world.
Italy
Italians give chocolates or candy filled with almonds or almond
paste.
Middle East
Wedding favor tradition is centered around the Jordan almond. A
candy-coated nut supposedly representing both the bitter and the
sweet of marriage.
Malaysia
The traditional wedding favor is painted, decorated eggs - a symbol
of fertility for the couple.
Russia and Japan
Both favor the same kinds of favors: both cultures are known for
leaving nice gifts like picture frames, bud vases, or sachets as
thank-you's.
The Netherlands
Favor tradition includes "Bridal Sugar" - five pieces of Dutch sweet
candy wrapped in tulle. Each piece represents the five wedding
wishes: love, happiness, loyalty, prosperity, and virility.
Ireland
The chime of bells is thought to restore harmony if a couple is
fighting, and remind them of their wedding vows. Giving a bell as a
gift to guests has become an Irish tradition.
