Wedding Favor Ideas

When it comes to choosing the favors for you special day, choose something that reflects your style! There is no wrong choice. When choosing your wedding favors you can be as creative as you want, or stick to something traditional. There are so many choices for you. Pick something that blends in with the whole theme of your day.

Traditional - Jordan Almonds have been a tradition for Italian, Greek, and Middle Eastern weddings and carry a cultural meaning. Fresh almonds have a bittersweet taste, which represents life. The sugarcoating is added with the hope that the newlyweds' life will be more sweet than bitter. You can put them in any kind of box or bag.

Italian weddings give out 5 almonds to signify 5 wishes for the bride and groom: health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and longevity.

Greek weddings serve the almonds in little bags in odd numbers because odd numbers are indivisible, symbolizing how the newlyweds will share everything and remain undivided. Their tradition says that if an unmarried woman puts the almonds under her pillow, she will dream of her future husband.

Middle Eastern weddings consider candy-coated almonds an aphrodisiac, and always have them on hand.

You can package your almonds simply or extravagantly, as you choose. Both Little Bridal Shop and Antonia Rose Printing have many different options for favor packaging, from personalized boxes and ribbon to simple tulle circles with plain ribbon ties. Check out our enormous selection of personalized favor tags as well: even the simplest favor can be given a personal touch with a message from you.
