Fortune Cookies Made Great Wedding Favors

Sunday, May 3rd, 2009

More and more brides are using fortune cookies as a way of telling their guests about their future plans and to thank them for their friendship. While you would expect a fortune cookie after a Chinese meal, dont be surprised if they show up as a wedding favor at the next wedding you attend.

The typical lucky numbers you often see on a fortune cookie message are often replaced with the brides wedding date. Brides are personalizing the messages you find in the fortune cookies.

Many fortune cookie manufacturers offer what are known as custom fortune cookies, or personalized fortune cookies. These fortune cookies allow the brides to create their own messages, or be their own Confucius.

Each message can usually fit around 20 words and many companies offer double sided messages. Twice the amount of space is allowed, by using text on both the front and the back of the message.

Some popular custom messages that brides are using are: Thank you for sharing this special day with us! or In dreams and in love there are no impossibilities.

Unique Bridal Shower Invitations, Rehearsal Dinner Invitations & Party Cards for Bridal Party Celebrations

Custom Bridal Shower Invitations & Rehearsal Dinner Invitations Cards Like other traditions associated with weddings, there is little information available as to the origin of the bridal shower. Although stories of bridal shower-type events have been around since the late 1800s, bridal showers became popular in the United States during the middle part of the 1900s and Bridal Shower Invitations were not used until much later.

In terms of tradition, the purpose of a bridal shower is for you to give gifts to a bride before she is married. The party usually takes place toward the end of her engagement. When you or a friend of yours announces an engagement, there will come a time when a bridal shower becomes an important (and often necessary) event.

If the shower is for you, it is considered tradition to have your made of honor, or a bridesmaid, organize the bridal shower. In some cultures, it is considered rude for you or a close relative to host the bridal shower, usually because there are gifts involved with the shower. It is then the host’s responsibility, not yours, to plan the party, including the responsibility of creating and sending out invitations. In addition to sending out the invitations, the host is also responsible for organizing the actual shower, which often includes food and games.
