The general rule is to give one guest favor per family or couple. Depending on the type of favor chosen, some brides and grooms may choose to give one favor to each and every guest. Close family members and friends who have played a special role in the celebration (i.e. a bridesmaid, a godparent, grandparents, a best man, etc.) may receive a different and more elaborate guest favor than the guests.

Sugar-coated almonds -also called Jordan almonds, koufeta, confetti or dragees, have been around for centuries. The ancient Greeks and Romans marked important celebrations such as birth and marriages with honey-sweetened almonds. With the introduction of sugarcane in the European kitchens of the 15th-century, almonds adopted the thin layer of sugar we are accustomed to today.

Wedding favors are given by the bride and groom to their guests as a symbol of gratitude for participating in their special day. The tradition has been practiced around the world and goes back many centuries. Well-placed favors can also enhance a particular d'cor or wedding theme. Take the time to infuse favors with your own brand of style and personality. A favor should be as unique as the couple offering them!
