Giving  favors can be traced back to the Romans in 400 B.C. when the groom distributed walnuts to his friends as a farewell to being a bachelor. Also during the 15th century it was customary for the English Court to give little wedding favor boxes made of precious metal filled with almonds to symbolize good wishes.

Where did the idea of wedding favors come from? Nobody seems to know for sure. But, we do have records of brides and grooms in England giving away love knots made out of lace and ribbons during the 16th and 17th centuries, and Russians have always been known for the wedding couple not only receiving beautiful gifts, but bestowing one on each guest as well.

In Italy, during In the 18th century, upper class, noble families would give solid silver  gifts to as many as 1800 guests at their wedding. By the end of the 19th century, even the peasants would give wedding tradition almonds in a gold paper card box to the guests at their wedding.
