Through immigration the tradition of
the almonds arrived in Australia. Typically the sugar-coated almonds
are wrapped in tulle and attached to a small gift for each guest
or couple, such as photo frame or a small vase. In America the bridal
couple present a small gift (called a 'favour') to each guest for
attending the wedding.
Some couples are personalising wedding 'favours', such as chocolates,
candles, soaps and pot-purri sachets, with guests names and having
them act as place cards. This works particularly well for outdoor
weddings as these wedding favours tend to be heavier and
easier to anchor than paper place cards.
Some ideas for bomboniere for guests include:-
* Individually boxed handmade chocolates
* Personalised candles
* Individual tulle/organza bags of pot purri
* Wrapped soaps
* Small boxes of iced biscuits
* Miniature pastel wedding cake
* Small picture frames
* Trinket boxes
