Wedding Guest Gifts and Wedding Keepsakes

Why Do We Give Wedding Guest Gifts?

The practice of giving wedding guest gifts, or wedding keepsakes, to wedding party guests is documented as far back as the sixteenth century. The practice began in Europe with hosts providing their guests with expensive, bejeweled boxes containing confections.

Today, the giving of wedding keepsakes is a common practice at most weddings. A wedding keepsake is the couple's way of saying thank you to their guests for celebrating the beginning of their married life together, and it serves as a lasting reminder of the joy and happiness that was shared on your wedding day.

The best wedding favors are selected to match the theme of your wedding, and, as you can see, there are a wide range of wedding guest gifts available to coordinate with almost wedding style. They range from beach themed wedding favors to the more traditional heart wedding favors---but no matter what your wedding theme, there are wedding keepsakes to remember your special wedding day.

Double Check Your Guest List

Wedding keepsakes are usually purchased by quantity and range in price, so be sure you have your guest list somewhat settled before you place your order.

**Tip: Once you have your guest list ready, be sure to add an additional 25 to your quantity for all of the guests that you went blank on when you prepared your list!
