Bomboniere is the Italian name for favours. Traditionally, these are keepsakes that wedding guests take home to preserve the memory of the day. However, they may also be given at showers or special parties. These favours may be candied almonds, mints, chocolates or even something more contemporary such as candles, and may be given with or without giftware. Presented in a fancy box or beautiful wrapping, personalized with the bride and groom's name and date, the party favours represent love, health and happiness.
