almond candy things

sorry, I only know the name in greek (koufetakia)......


how many are you supposed to give - i know its supposed to be an odd number, like 5 or 7. Also, we are giving them away in a really cute sash for our e-party....do I give one bag to each person or one to each couple?? We are giving out small gifts so I know that is one gift per family/couple.....but I am not sure about these almond things.

depends what ur doing with favors. u put 5 in the tulle.

if ur not doing fvaors.. u can go to michaels and get these plastic 'pillow' packages that say love on them and put them at each place setting.


i woudl do a small favor tho

ok i reread it... without interrupttionsss loll
when u get ur favors wrapped.. they include the koufeta in tulle and personalized ribbon..

get them done.. doing them urself is not worth it.

yeah we are doing favors (haven't decided what yet) but since we have to give away the almonds, there are these really cute copper mesh bags that you can put the koufeta in and they close with a tassle...(we will get our personalized name ribbon things to)....

I just wasn't sure if we give out one of those little baggies to each person along with the gift or give the koufeta with the gift, which means one to family/couple.

ITALIAN WEDDINGS Five almonds signify five wishes for the bride and groom: health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and longevity. These almonds decorate each place setting as favors, tucked into pretty boxes or tulle bags called *bomboniere* that are often personalized with the couple's names and wedding date.
GREEK WEDDINGS Sugarcoated almonds in traditional Greek weddings are called *koufetta*. They are placed in little bags in odd numbers and are served on a silver tray. Odd numbers are indivisible, symbolizing how the newlyweds will share everything and remain undivided. Tradition holds that if an unmarried woman puts the almonds under her pillow, she'll dream of her future husband.

my cousin does this in pittsburgh so she is doing this for us. She ofered to wrap and do the gifts also but eh....not sure. maybe I will let her just do the koufeta/

the koufeta are supposed to be attached with the favor.. i mean.. thats how i always see it.

when do u plan on ordering ur favors?? kounisou

its 5 per tulle-y package thing

like barb said theyre usually attached to the favor so i would do it the same as your doing your favors, 1 per couple, unless you have all the koufeta in a seperate basket and hand those out seperately
