One of the opportunities that you have in picking just the right party favor is that you can make it a tradition in celebrating your anniversary. To use an example, one popular wedding favor to give is a bottle opener shaped like a high-heeled shoe, reminiscent of Cinderella’s glass slipper. You could use that metaphor to establish your traditions as a couple by somehow incorporating the symbol of that shoe into your anniversary celebrations, and continuing to find some sort of wedding style favor to give your anniversary party guests in the same style throughout the coming years.
Giving wedding favors to the guests at the wedding is a way for the bridge and groom to begin a tradition of expressing their gratitude and appreciation in their marriage. It’s a stereotype in unhappy marriages that one or both of the partners in it don’t feel appreciated. So don’t underestimate the power of this tradition; respect it – and appreciate it – and honor it – and plan on honoring it – throughout your marriage. If you’re willing, your choice of wedding favors will never be a mere trinket that your guests leave the wedding with, but will become the foundation for a strong and happy marriage between two people that never forget to find ways to say “I appreciate you.”
