Italian Jordan Almond Favors
Italian Jordan Almond favors, also known as confetti, are traditional sugared almonds given at weddings, baptisms, and special events. Each almond carries a symbolic meaning—commonly health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and longevity—and they are often presented in groups of five. These favors have been a part of Italian celebrations for centuries, combining elegance, sweetness, and cultural significance.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are Jordan Almonds?
Jordan Almonds are sugar-coated almonds traditionally used in Italian celebrations. We sell the higher-quality variety: a slightly flatter almond (rather than round) with a thin, crunchy sugar shell flavored with a hint of vanilla. The tradition of giving almonds at a wedding dates back to Roman times.
2. Why are Italian Jordan Almond favors given in groups of five?
The five almonds symbolize wishes for health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and long life.
3. How are these favors used at weddings or baptisms?
They are typically wrapped in decorative pocketed ribbon, pouches, or round tulle, and decorated with small flowers or a sparkling crystal to match the event's color scheme. Nearly all of our customers choose to add personalized ribbons for these special thank-you gifts.
