The wedding favour custom originated from Italy. Wedding favours, traditionally called "bomboniere", were made from five sugar-coated almonds gathered together in different tulles or nets. The almonds signified health, happiness, long-life and fertility, which were given by the Bride to all her female guests. The favour would be place on guest's tables and they would be kept as a keepsake, as a memory of the Wedding Day.
