Favours (sometimes known as bonbonnieres) are a tradition where the bride presents her
guests with a little gift as a momento to thank them for sharing her special day. However,
although primarily linked to weddings, favours are now being given to guests at many
different occasions including birthdays, christenings, bar/bat mitzvahs, corporate events and
baby showers. It is traditional to give five sugared almonds one each to represent: Health, Wealth, Fertility, Happiness, and Long Life.
