Wedding is such a momentous event in the lives of a couple. It is a much-anticipated occasion in their lives. They allot ample time for the preparation of everything needed before such event. One of the highlights of a wedding ceremony is the giving of wedding favors. The newlyweds distribute gifts to their guests as a form of appreciation for sharing with them this very special occasion.

The giving of gifts to guests started as early as the 16th century. It is said that the rich Europeans used to give bonbonniere, a small box made of porcelain, crystal or precious stones that has sugar cubes inside or some delicate confection. The crystal cubes or confection symbolizes royalty and wealth. In other practices, each guest was given with something that contains five candies that represent five common wedding wishes such as happiness, health, wealth, fertility, and longevity.

The traditional gift giving of sugar and candies have changed over the years. These were replaced with sugarcoated almonds given in set of three or five. Sugarcoated almonds in 3’s means the husband, wife and future child while a set with five almonds represent wishes for happiness, health, fertility, longevity and wealth.

If you are holding a large wedding, that is one with many guests, the cost of wedding favours can be quite considerable, if you do not set a strict budget.

If you still find that there is not a lot of money to go around, you will need to look for inexpensive wedding favours. I will offer you a few thoughts below to get you going.

Anniversary Gifts for Her – 4 Excellent Gift Ideas

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

Buying wedding anniversary gifts for her can be a difficult task! Here are 4 great wedding anniversary present ideas for your wife, to get you on the right track!

A classic gift with a personalized touch. A really nice locket with a picture of you already enclosed makes a really nice present. Or maybe a classy fountain pen with her name (or a special message) engraved makes for a unique gift. Write your wife a poem or love letter put it in a bottle. Voila – romantic message in a bottle!

Take your wife out for the evening. Make sure to spoil her rotten!! Take her to a fancy restaurant for dinner, don’t make a fuss over the bill and let her get anything she would like. Make the night memorable by taking her to a show, a musical or even a concert. Let her get something to remember the evening by. Your wife will be impressed by your thoughtfulness and generosity!

A day off from housework. This idea was submitted to me, I am not sure I entirely agree with it (husbands, you should be helping around the house anyway!). But it is good if you are on a budget and don’t regularly help out with the housework. An overworked and underpaid housewife will appreciate this break from the chores.
