Wedding favours are small gifts given as a gesture of appreciation to guests from the bride and groom most commonly during the wedding reception. Wedding favours can form part of your table decoration or can be handed out by your bridesmaids and flower girls. Stuck for what to give your guests as your wedding favour? Wedding favours are diverse and can range from the classis sugared almonds to small metal items. Why not think about personalising the favour with your own names and the date of your wedding?
Favours are a tradition which originates from Europe, primarily Italy, where they are know as Bomboniere and dates back to the middle ages. Traditionally, five almonds are presented in a confection box or wrapped in elegant fabric to represent fertility, longevity, wealth, health and happiness. The bitterness of the almond and the sweetness of the coated candy exemplify the bitter sweetness of a marriage.
