A chocolate wedding favor based on traditional
love tokens will add even more meaning to your special day. Share the symbolic
language of love with each other and your guests.
For centuries, courting couples exchanged
personalized gifts before their marriage. The custom was especially popular in
rural areas. Lovers would make their tokens themselves or hire an expert
craftsman to express their sentiments. These are a few ideas that would be
delightful to borrow for custom chocolate bar wrappers that you can use as
wedding favors:
Household Goods: Today your spouse might
be disappointed if you gave them a vacuum cleaner for Valentine’s Day. However,
back around the seventeenth century, it was common to give each other useful
household items that would be stored away as keepsakes after the couple
married. Try decorating your chocolate bars with pictures of brooms or rolling
pins to celebrate setting up home together.
Soul Symbols: One poetic motif looked
like a comma which represented the Egyptian symbol for nostrils. It embodied
the idea that the couple was being joined for life and until their breath
ceased. You could put a stylized drawing on the front of your wrapper and a
brief explanation of the legend on the back.
Love Spoons: Wooden spoons with
carved handles were a mostly Welsh practice. Whatever your nationality, they
would be a pretty image for a candy wrapper.
Hearts: The simplicity and clarity of
heart designs made them as popular back then as they are now. You won’t need
any explanation for your favors.
Other Motifs: There’s still more to
choose from. Consider keys and chains or shepherds and shepherdesses. If you
like animals, go with birds, dogs or lambs. Knots, bands, ribbons and joined
hands are also charming.
