The sugar coating is added to the bitter almonds in the hope that the newlyweds will have more sweet times than bitter during their lifetime together. When confetti come in boxes or bags they are called bomboniere and serve as place settings or favours. The candy is given out in odd numbers, most often 3s and 5s. Three almonds symbolize the bride, the groom and their future child, and five almonds represent five wishes for the sposi : health, wealth, fertility, happiness and longevity.
Confetti are not only used in Italian weddings, but also in Greek and Middle Eastern wedding ceremonies. According to traditional wedding etiquette, favours are not a must-have item. If you are planning a destination wedding, you may want to treat your guests with a welcome bag instead and if the reception venue is far away from accommodation, you can offer your friends and family complimentary transport.
Many sources say that the tradition was established in 16th century England where newly-weds were giving their wedding guests lace and ribbon knots that symbolised a bond of love.
In Italy, traditional wedding favours are 5 sugar-coated almonds which stand for health, wealth, happiness, fertility and long life. The almonds are wrapped in a tulle, satin or burlap bag and adorned with a dried flower.
In France a bonbonniere is a little embellished box full of delicious sweets, in Ireland, guests receive small wedding bells and in India, the couple gives away hand-crafted elephant figurines. In modern day Australia, a bomboniere is any type of small gift given by the hosts to their guests. All these little gifts symbolise good luck which the bride and groom are passing onto their guests.
Nowadays, a bomboniere can be anything from a personalised box of matches to a bottle stopper or a small potted succulent. Not sure whether to choose something modern or opt for traditional wedding favours?
