With the dawn of e-readers many bibliophiles have turned to their electronic devices to store their extensive collections.
With paper book sales down and book retailers closing, are bookmark favors still in style? While a book lovin' bride may find these types of favors to be charming - will your guests feel the same? Bookmarks date back to the middle ages when books first began to pick up in popularity.
Since the first published books were considered quite valuable and only available to the upper classes, it was determined that something was needed to hold one's place in a book without causing any harm to that book, thus, bookmarks were invented.
Typically they were first made out of parchment paper or cord, and eventually graduated to other materials such as leather.
It is said that Queen Elizabeth was one of the first to own a bookmark, therefore bookmarks made their actual mark as a symbol of royalty.
Bookmarks will forever hold a collectable status to book lovers and those who collect paper ephemera.
Therefore a bookmark favor will never go out of style and will continue to be a popular gift for guests.
Bookmark favors have been popular over the years for many reasons - you can find one to match your party theme rather easily, everyone has books in their home and they are relatively a cheap party or wedding favor, while not looking inexpensive.
Despite the fact that e-readers are popular, bookmarks too continue to be well liked by those purchasing thank you souvenirs for their event.
Bookmarks come in many shapes, sizes, colors and styles.
They range from inexpensive chrome clips to modern and durable S-shaped curved full length clips.
From intricate resin patterns, to magnetic fasteners to blown glass designs - these pretty (and collectable) designs can suit everything from budget weddings to luxury extravaganzas.
The most popular bookmark favor for weddings are heart designs.
What is a more perfect symbol of love than a heart? Every time your guests open their favorite book, they will be reminded of your special day.
Alternatively, personalized bookmarks also are quite popular for those who want to memorialize the day with their names and date.
Will books ever go out of style? I don't think so.
As a book lover myself (and an e-reader owner too), there is nothing quite as magical as sitting down on a comfy chair and opening up a good book to read.
While I love my e-reader for the convenience of storing a collection of books, there are just some places an e-reader can't compete.
You can't take an e-reader into the bath while enjoying a bubble bath, or on the beach if you are afraid of the heat and sand - and certainly they make reading cookbooks quite difficult.
Traditional books will never get outdated, and traditional bookmarks are still the perfect favors to give and to get.
