White and rigorously odd number, sugared almonds and bonbonnières are given to guests as thank-you gift and souvenir of Your special day together.
Traditionally tailored in precious tulle, more often today in small lace bags, sugared almonds are always in odd number – usually five – to signify what should never fail in the couple’s life:
– health;
– fertility;
– long life;
– happiness;
– prosperity.
Customs are that bride and groom go around tables after the wedding cake has served to guests. The groom carrys a silver tray with sugared almonds and the bride serves them with a silver spoon, always in odd number.

It’s a lavishly decked table where You find different kinds of almonds and candies, a real taste itinerary for Your guests’ after-dinner…
Type of bonbonnières
Classic: You find lots of kind in shops. You can wrap them yourself and personalize.
Fair trade: You can opt for a donation to a charity foundation You care. It’s a current choise today. They will provide You a thanks card to put on tables, so Your guests know they won’t receive bonbonnières because of Your donation.
Personal: something You like very much and care, usually for a restrict number of guests (honour attendant, best man, special guests).
Theme: something to wear that You can give Your guests at the entrance of party. Funny, enjoyable, something You personally choose and that represent You.
