Custom Engraved Chopsticks: A Unique Asian-Inspired Wedding Guest Favor

One of the most important aspects of Asian culture is our love of food. Ask an Asian person from anywhere and they will almost certainly claim their regional cuisine is the best. So when you’re looking to honor your heritage for your wedding with a wedding favor, giving your guests a reminder of that through personalized chopsticks is a wonderful idea.

Custom Chopsticks for Chinese Wedding Guest Favors

The Chinese people have been utilizing chopsticks at least since 1200 BC. The earliest evidence of chopsticks was found in the Yinxu archeological ruins in the Henan province in China. They were heavy bronze sets mainly utilized for cooking.

As chopsticks spread throughout the continent, their shape, size, and material evolved. Now we have wood or bamboo chopsticks that are not only much lighter in weight compared to the bronze sets, but also can easily be personalized to carry your special message!
