Spanish Miniature Brides?

     The Spanish culture is rich with all kinds of traditions. The tradition of the miniature bride is just an example of  this. In Puerto Rico, many couples incorporate a miniature doll wearing a replica bridal dress into their wedding. This doll could be found standing on the head table or the cake table at the reception of a wedding. Capias, which are somewhat like favors for the wedding guests, are attached to the doll. During the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom pin a single capia on each of their wedding guests to represent their gratitude. So if you're ever looking for a unique way to thank your friends and family for attending your wedding, you should look into this old Spanish tradition.
