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.
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.
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.
