A Victorian Tradition
Wedding favors tip: Instead of using place cards, bake large heart shaped sugar cookies with icing made with your wedding color. Wrap each cookie in cellophane and tie it with a ribbon. Attach a small place card with the guest's name to the ribbon. and you have both an original place card and a favor all in one.

A wedding event called a "ribbon pull" is traditional to Victorian weddings. A sterling silver charm is purchased for each of the bridesmaids and engraved with a wish for the future such as; next to marry, lucky in life, hope, adventure etc...
Each charm is tied to a ribbon. The baker places the ribbon tied charms between layers of the wedding cake as it is being assembled. Before the bride and groom share the first slice of cake, the bridesmaids gather so that each can pull one ribbon, claiming a "ribbon pull" that holds the promise of her future.
