Wedding favours are a tradition with a deep-rooted history in Europe. Believed to have originated in French aristocratic society, these wedding day gifts were originally given out by well-healed couples as a sign of wealth. Presented in ornate trinket boxes, they most often contained small cubes of sugar or confectionary, known as bonbonnieres, that only the rich could afford. Today, wedding favours remain a favourite pastime at weddings and come in all shapes and sizes, from scratch cards to candied treats to cocktail stirrers.
