POLL: Jordan Almonds...do you like them?

I know not everyone does. Trying to get a consensus if I should buy them to add to each setting on the tables.

I originally wanted to but decided not to, and now I'm thinking to buy them again. My favors are all done so what else am I going to do?

I did the same thing! The week before the wedding i thought 'hmmm i should give something else with our favor'. I ended up getting chiffon draw string bags from Michael's and i put four pieces of Hershey's Bliss Chocolates (2 milk, 2 dark). It cost about $30 to do it, but everyone loved them!

I like them and had them at my wedding... should have put a dental work disclaimer on them though... one of my guests cracked a tooth and so did I...

They are not my favorite candy in the world. I ususally just suck on it a little to getthe sugar and then spit out the almond part

I actually like to suck on them.

I don't like them much but I know many of my guests do so I'm adding them to the Candy bar.

I hate them but I think most people LOVE them bc whenever they are around they are always eaten up!

Re: POLL: Jordan Almonds...do you like them?

Yes, I actually love them!!!
Either way I would have had to use them, since I'm 100% Italian and all...

We did something a little different with them. We bought organza flowers and popped the almonds in them... they really look pretty! Here is a pic. It's not the best since I took it with my phone.

I hate them but I don't like almonds period so my opinion is definitely biased.. I do know a lot of people love them though so I am not sure if I will get them or not!

I hate them but some people love them. Would you consider mixing those with Hershey Kisses?

No, I would do the jordan almonds only because FH and I are both Italian (I'm first generation Italian-American and he isn't).

MIchelle- I think there is like a cute poem or something that goes with them- I saw it at a wedding a while ago- it explains the tradition of why italians use 5 almonds- one is for love, and I forget the others - I swear I am braindead!

Re: POLL: Jordan Almonds...do you like them?

if your italian i think you have them there no matter what ! i think it's so funny!

anneandchris Posted: Sep 26, 2008 12:21 PM

Re: POLL: Jordan Almonds...do you like them?

We are both Italian but we are not having them for two reasons:

1. I am allergic to almonds
2. I didn't want to spend the money on them

Most people throw them out.

Here is a cute poem someone posted on a thread a few weeks ago...

I had wanted to do the almond flowers but the ones I wanted were WAY too expensive so I just ended up doing them with tulle circles for a fraction of the cost.
