The history shows that
wedding favors have started as "bomboniere," which were first used by wealthy European families. This tradition holds that couple are expected to give a gift (wedding favor) to each of their attending guests. This also supports a symbolic gesture that shows warm wishes for the couple and appreciation to all recipients.
If you are looking for Italian
wedding favors, the gift it self may include porcelain, crystal, silver, gold, or precious gems with five almonds, which are also known as confetti. The almonds are symbolic, they signifies the bitterness of life. But what is modern on these favors now is they are often arrive with sugar coating to soften the bitter taste of the nut. The sugar coating holds a belief that it will bring a more sweet life to the couple and not bitterness.
So why it should be five almonds? This has a reason that many couples believed in. Each almond represents a specific wish for the couple. They symbolize wealth, happiness, health, fertility and longevity. Today, there are alternatives to almonds such as candies, cookies, mints, or anything that also come in groups. Many group their treats to three or five favors; three because there are couples believe that the first three symbols are enough for them.
There are two ways to present to present almonds to the guests. The first way is to place the group of almonds at each guest's place setting, wrapped or placed in small favor boxes. Tulle is usually used to package the five almonds in an easy and cheap way. Just simply place your cut tulle on the table and place the almonds at the center of it and then gather the tulle together, tie it with a ribbon to close the package. Or, you can use small
favor boxes, which come in a variety of shapes and colors, to package the almonds. Wedding
favor boxes are available on many online stores at reasonable prices. The second way to present the almonds to the guests is you will personally to each guest table and then offer your guests with a scoop of almonds. This usually takes place after the slicing of the cake.
Today, aside from almonds and
favor boxes, there are other Italian wedding favor ideas that even not European people are using for their Italian-inspired wedding. These include unique
wedding favors such as custom pizza cutters presented in a small container mimics a real pizza box, small bottles of olive oil, and even biscotti and Parmesan cheese. These are some of the most popular Italian
wedding favors that couples who want a Tuscany-themed nuptial can choose from. These are available on many specialty websites that offer a wide variety of
wedding favors that in different themes, or you can make your own at home. Add some personal touches on your Italian favors by simple attaching a custom tag, label, sticker, or a card with your printed names or combined monograms, wedding date, and a popular.
