As a bride and groom to be, you're probably aware of the old tradition of giving small gifts to guests at weddings as a sign of appreciation and gratitude. But did you know that this custom dates all the way back to European aristocrats in the 13th century? Back then, these gifts were called "bonbonnieres" and were typically small containers filled with sugar cubes or delicate sweets. Over time, the tradition of wedding favours evolved and became a popular practice as the price of sugar decreased. The traditional sugar cubes were eventually replaced by sugar-coated almonds, known as "confetti," which held symbolic meaning for the newlyweds. Each almond represented a wish for fertility, longevity, wealth, health, and happiness, while also serving as a reminder of the bittersweet moments of married life. While the concept of wedding favours has remained the same, it has evolved to adapt to different wedding themes, colors, styles, and seasons. While confetti almonds are still used in bags, boxes, and tins, more and more couples are looking for unique and unconventional ideas to surprise their guests.
