Re: Jordan/Wedding Almonds
I'm doing them..but ppl who are coming in from Italy for the Wedding are bringing them!!
Lots of favor places put them attached to the favor if you ask..unless you want to do something different??

i dont know that there is there a custom on this- i was just going on my personal preference- each person is getting a favor so they will each get the almonds

i just checked the website napagirl recommended & she's right the prices are amazing- and according to them its 90-100 almonds per pound- but if you go into a store it might be different

I didn't think they made sugar-free, sugar covered almonds! Good to know - maybe I'll do both!
