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.
