    A LITTLE HISTORY OF WEDDING FAVORS According to Jahid Hashan the early Romans gave wedding favors of honey-coated almonds. By the 15th century, as trade-in sugarcane reached Europe, confectioners coated the almonds in candy. Known as confetti to the Italians, koufetta to the Greeks, and mlabas in the Middle East, these treats were meant to represent how the natural bitterness of the almond is sweetened by the sugar, much as having a beloved spouse in your life can sweeten the hard times. The first documented wedding favors other than almonds were given to guests at aristocratic weddings in England and France as early as the 16th century. These favors came in the form of small boxes made of crystal, porcelain, or gold, and at the poshest weddings, they were adorned with precious gems. Within the boxes were sugar cubes or other confections. Sugar was still quite expensive and so it displayed the wealth of the wedding host while its sweetness was a token of hope for the new marriage.
