Wedding Favors

Summary

• Introduction
• Welsh Wedding Spoons
• Flower Bulb
• Flower Seeds
• Jordan Almonds

Wedding favors are an expression of thanks to your guests for joining in your wedding celebration. They don’t have to be extravagant or expensive. You don’t even have to give them. The determining factors are your budget, your personal feelings, and the traditions within your family and your community.

They can be silly, humorous, serious, of no account, or an extenuation of your basic wedding theme.

One young Christian couple I knew gave every one a booklet about the true Christ-like meaning of marriage and what they hoped theirs would evolve into. Ten years later, it is still a blessing to be in their company, along with their growing family.

Welsh Wedding Spoons

Discussed briefly in a Scottish Wedding Theme Newsroom blog, Welsh wedding spoons are intriguing and chock full of Celtic tradition. Each motif has it’s own meaning. They are becoming so popular that miniature ones are being produced to be given as favors.

Flower Bulbs

The daffodil is the national flower of Wales, but it now worn universally on Tartan Day as a symbol of the Celts, specifically Scotland. I suspect it’s hard to find thistles blooming in early April and to wear a real one could be quite prickly!

Flower Seeds

Small packets of wedding flower seeds are readily found. How about just lavender or Scottish wildflowers?

Jordan Almonds

No discussion of Scottish wedding favors is complete without Jordan Almonds. Specifically, five somehow nestled together. The color is whatever strikes your fancy, but there must be five.The sugar symbolized the sweet aspects of life, while the almond symbolized the bitter. The five almonds represented health, wealth, fertility, happiness and longevity.

As other Scottish theme favors and sources are located, they’ll be included.
