Origin of the Wedding Favor?
With the daughter of some good friends of mine getting married in just a few weeks, my friends (her parents) have been barraging me with questions. I had agreed to step in as wedding planner and as my gift to the family I agreed to waive my fees. But one question they asked actually had me stumped. They wanted to know the origin of the wedding favor.
You see when they go married back in 1980, the tradition of wedding favors was not widespread. At least not in the Midwest where they lived. So now I’m to tell them when the tradition really started to pick up steem. But to be honest, I’m not sure. What I can tell you is that wedding favors have been an important part of wedding ceremonies and receptions for well over a decade. But when they became commonplace? That will require a bit of research.
