Wedding favors are a uniquely Italian tradition that has spread in various ways throughout the world. There are commonalities and similarities in all countries and cultures, even when it comes to traditions and customs, such as the custom of honoring the guests of a wedding ceremony with small gifts, which is still alive and well throughout the world. Of course, the kinds of gifts vary.
Even a simple gesture like donating a wedding favor can become an opportunity to propose an alternative to our economic system’s injustices. In addition to communicating something about ourselves—our tastes, our values—and conveying an important message to family and friends.
The most meaningful favors for us are unquestionably solidarity favors, which are handmade creations that are one-of-a-kind and unrepeatable, made with natural materials that respect our region’s craft traditions, or objects that tell their human side through stories of social redemption. Or wedding favors made by charities that help children in underdeveloped countries or scientific research, particularly oncology. The bride and groom can make a conscious gesture in favor of a more ethical and sustainable wedding by using solidarity wedding favors
