Wedding Favor Luggage Tags
The practice of giving wedding guests gifts -known as wedding favors- has been a tradition for some time.
In the old days these gifts were often some type of sweets such as sugar cubes or confections since at the time sugar was an expense only the wealthy could afford.
Almonds or sugar coated almonds were also a favorite and were sometimes presented in small, decorative crystal or porcelain boxes.
Modern wedding favors are somewhat different than what guests could expect hundreds of years ago and it seems like a good bet that most folks didn’t receive luggage tags as a wedding favors circa 1565!
Times have changed though and “wedding favor luggage tags” as a token of appreciation seem more appropriate now especially for destination weddings which involve travel for the guests as well as the bride, groom and their families.
