Favor Question

I am thinking of placing the almonds in the little heart tins. How many you think will fit in each tin?

Re: Favor Question

Check w/ the tin supplier they'll know better, since each container is a different size this may be the best thing to do

Re: Favor Question

it's good luck to do an odd number- 5 is the norm for a wedding

Re: Favor Question

you're supposed to do 5, they each stand for something but can't remember what.

Unless you are doing the candy coated Jordan almonds I wouldn't use loose almonds. I have a friend who is allergic to nuts, which I hadnt heard of before knowing him, and it's not as rare as I thought. You wouldn't be able to touch an almond and then touch him- he'd break out from that little contact.

If you really like the idea then you should find out if that's a problem for your guests. I know you can drive yourself nuts considering every little issue for every little person!!

Traditional wedding favours are sugared almonds, also known as 'Jordan almonds' or 'confetti almonds'. Five are given to represent health, happiness, fertility, long life and wealth. Almonds come in a range of colours, perfect for matching specific colour themes.

Hope this helps.
