In the modern times, whenever a party is given it has become a common practice give away gifts as party favors to all the guests attending such a party. This small gift is given away to the guests to show gratitude to them for attending such a party as well as a memento of the occasion.
This practice started in medieval Europe when aristocrats and royal families gave away marriage favors to show their wealth and aristocracy. These gifts were known as bonbonnieres. These were jewelry boxes made of crystal, porcelain or precious stones containing sugar cubes or food candies.
At that time, sugar cubes were considered costly. As sugar became cheaper, it was replaced by almond coated with sugar. It is still a tradition to gift five Jordan almonds in a confectionery box or wrapped in elegant fabric as wedding favors.
