Treasure Wedding Favors

Wedding Favors, Bridesmaid Gifts, Great Prices

The giving of wedding favors is evidenced to date back to the 16^th century. The practice of giving gifts to show appreciation for sharing their special day with them spans over many different cultures. Over time favors have evolved and changed. There are more choices than before for a bride and groom to express themselves through their favors.

Traditionally the brides' family has been responsible for many of the wedding costs. But with the increasing costs and complexity of weddings, the costs are being separated differently on a case by case basis. Certain people aren't being given the duty of having to pay for certain things. Often the families now split the expenses, as well as other participants in the wedding paying their own way. The bride and groom now often pay for a share of the wedding themselves as well.

A way to recover some costs at the reception is to have the guests pay for drinks, and dances. Games may also be played to collect money, and having the bride kidnapped (so the happy couple can have a few moments of rest) then collecting ransom to get her back is another way.
