Macaroons are a wonderful choice for wedding favours. They come in a variety of flavours and colours (including those with or without alcohol), are compact and can therefore fit into small packages, and, upon request, can even be delivered with edible personalised stickers on top.
What is the tradition behind wedding favours?
Wedding favours are a centuries old tradition that first originated amongst the French aristocracy and upper classes. Couples gave them as a gesture of good will and to signify the bride’s fertility and good fortune. Typically, the gift would be a little porcelain or crystal trinket box loaded with sugar or candy for their guests. The favours were referred to as “Bonbonnieres” during this time.
Why are there five almonds in wedding favours?
Similar to this, in Greece, couples would gift five almonds to their guests: one for fertility, one for prosperity, one for health, one for longevity, and one for happiness. Today, wedding favours are still a crucial component of the celebration and offer the chance to serve a number of other purposes, such as table decorations, serving as a wonderful way for everyone to remember the wedding, and possibly even having a small note or thank-you card the guests can take home with them.
What should a wedding favour be?
Since people produce wedding favours in a variety of contemporary methods while adhering to the desired ‘goodluck’ idea, there is no right or wrong way to make them these days. However, wedding favours typically contain something sweet and are normally small yet memorable for the occasion.Favours could include anything of the following; personalised bottle corks, packaged sweets with small labels on, small bottles of gin with personalised bottle labels and/or tags and ribbons, and much more.
