Types of Wedding Love Tokens

Traditional love tokens were hand crafted gifts that were useful for a couple's future home. Items such as cake molds, carved spoons, and butter prints that were covered in symbols and announcements of the love the couple had for one another.

Coins were often used as love tokens in the 18 th and 19 th centuries. These coins were handmade out of copper, silver, or gold. These coins were decorated with hearts, hearts and arrows, Cupids bow, or the initials of the couple.

Modern wedding love tokens can include such things as a CD made from favorite songs that mean something to the couple, homemade scrapbooks filled with photographs, movie tickets, poems, concert stubs, and miscellaneous mementos, a song or poem written by the groom to his bride, or a hand embroidered handkerchief for the groom.

Other wedding love tokens include:
