Why do you give out these small boxes of treats to symbolize your gratitude on the first place? It is a tradition that was passed on from generations to generations. It used to be in any form of edible treats made of sugar. Newly wed couples give them out towards the end of the reception program not just a way of thanking their guests but to signify luck.

Such treats does not only stand for the gratitude the newly wed couple felt for the guests, or their hopes of being included in the luck of the well-wishers. It can also mean that the bride and groom give high regard to the presence of their guests and the strong bond of affection from both friends and family. It is a but a small box of gratitude, but it may mean a lot for the real friends and family that witnessed your special day.
