Not Your Average Bonbonniere

Bonbonniere is the Italian word for wedding favours - the gift at each guest's setting. In reality, they're the adult version of a party bag!

Traditionally, Bonbonniere were five white sugared almonds for health, happiness, wealth, fertility and long life. If you'd like to be more unique however, the options are limitless.

If you're on a tight budget, you can DIY your bonbonniere - boiled lollies or marshmallows look fantastic in a clear plastic box tied with ribbon. Then, you can use a pretty font and print your own tags to attach to each box.

If you'd rather leave the bonbonniere to the pros to handle you can choose from a large variety of options...
