Wedding Favours

The tradition of Wedding favours has been around for centuries. The Italians are said to have started with giving the gift of sugared almonds. They were given to guests as a symbol of good luck and appreciation for their attendance. Traditionally each guest was gifted 5 Almonds and they are said to represent Health, Wealth, Happiness, Fertility and Longevity. In addition the number Five was used as it's an odd number and cannot be split, hopefully, like the married couple.

Nowaday's bridal couples often get worried of confused about what they should give and to whom. 

Tradition of old was to give favours to a selected few special female guests, it was considered an honour if you received one, however, nowaday's we have gravitated away and it is now acceptable to give to male and female guests.  The question of day only or evening guests too often arises in many of the bridal forums but really it is the choice of the happy couple on what they would like to do. 

As it's St. Andrew's day we thought we would give a few Scottish suggestions to set you on your way to choosing what is right for you.
