What Is A Wedding Bomboniere

Tuesday, April 6th, 2010

Your wedding is special and you want to celebrate your love with all of your family and friends and show how much you appreciate them sharing this special day with you. One of the best ways to show that appreciation is by choosing just the right wedding bomboniere to give to your guests.

What is a wedding bomboniere?

A wedding bomboniere is just the Italian word for wedding favour, which is a small gift you give your guests to thank them for coming to the wedding. In olden days only the wealthiest families gave wedding favours to their guest usually in the form of sugar cubes. As the price of sugar dropped even less wealthy families could give wedding favours to their guests. Over time the giving of sugar cubes died out and in it’s place the bridal couple gave other food items such as sugared almonds, and other sweet treats as their wedding bomboniere.

While sweet treats given in bags, small boxes, or tins still remains popular, bridal couples are now choosing from a whole range of small gifts to give their guests as wedding favours or bombonieres.
