Was a little net bag of sugar almonds.

Anyone remember these left at your plate settings at weddings?

Did anyone like them?

I loved sugar almonds.

the last wedding we went to we got a whisky miniature each

Well I've just learned something new!

"Sugar coated almonds are used as wedding favours for very specific reasons. Almonds come with a bittersweet taste, which is thought to signify life’s up and downs. The sugar coating highlights the wish that the couple’s married life will be sweeter rather than bitter. In Italy, five sugar coated almonds are typically handed out to guests representing health, wealth, cheerfulness, fertility, and long life"

The favours were meant to signify something, but I cannot remember which.  I did quite like them.

When we got married, I made my own favours of 3 flavours of home-made fudge in little hand tied boxes.

And we said "please do not give us presents, we have everything we need.  Just join us".

That's a big step up from sugar almonds 😊

My ideal wedding invite, Barmaid.  And I like fudge

Thanks for that, Buen

Well, it was not as if we were a young couple starting off in life and we needed a third toaster or a fourth set of coasters.  And attending weddings is expensive - particularly if you have to travel, without having to think of a gift.  We just wanted our mates there for a proper good knees up.  We just pleased that so many of our friends came from such a long way to share it with us.  That was all we wanted.

Perfect 

All the weddings I went to as a youngster had sugar almonds as favours. Not surprising as they were all Italian family weddings. 

Oh...and I loved them!

My sort of wedding Barmaid, and our son and wife did the same 

We actually hate the big brash weddings -  we  always find an excuse not  to go.  

And as for Wedding planners.......... 

 

Yeah, I liked them. But I'm nuts
