Why are "favors" handed out at weddings/where did that start?

Where exactly did that expectation come from? There must be something behind it. I did it at my wedding, buy my coworker is planning hers. We just got to thinking where did that concept start? And why?

  1. start the concept and favors handed out at wedding
  2. Wedding favors started as a way for the upper class to provide extravagant gifts to their guests. Through the years, this tradition was adopted by different cultures and different classes, and is generally a way of thanking the guests for witnessing their marriage.
  3. i had heard that question years ago, and if i remember right (and i dont know if its true) that each culture has different ways of weddings etc. and with a trinket from the wedding you have a remembrance of it and a gift.
