Is anyone doing this? If so are you just going to put the almond candy in a bowl and let guest help themselves or are you doing individual?

Re: Italian Confetti..
my favors are going to be boxed and wrapped with bows and attached to the bows there is going to be an organza bag like thing that will have about 5 almonds in them, so it will be part of their favor

If I do them that is a good idea
I was going to put them on the favor but with the favor i think i am doing it doesn't really go and than i was going to incorporate them in the place card but that might be a pita

Re: Italian Confetti..
I would definitely like to do this since it is so traditional - my parents received a almond flower 'bomboniere' from a wedding in Italy and I've wanted it since then - some examples:
thats sooooo nice.... did they make it? the almonds are in it?

Yes! Each petal is an almond - its either in tulle or plastic wrap and each guest got one flower, I think it had a ribbon with the bride and grooms names and the wedding date.

Bomboniere in italy are huge and the confetti are added/attached to the favor. In italy there is a little card that is attached to the confetti and all it says is the bride and groom's names and wedding date. This is all clearly wrapped in tulle and many people keep this...it's actually not eaten. I would like to do a basket of them just as tradition calls :)
