Do I favour you?

Apparently we are once again following our cousins across the pound, and starting to get in to wedding favours. These are small gifts given as a gesture of appreciation or gratitude to guests from the bride and groom at the wedding reception.

There are lots of interesting ideas out there, one being the French tradition to give 5 dragées (pronounced dra-ZHAY ), whole almonds coated with a sugar shell in various colors, to each guest at their wedding. The five symbolises Health, Wealth, Happiness, Longevity, and Fertility.



Another idea, but not necessarily a tradition but still very French, is to have a box of mini macaroons at each table setting. Some of the best are made by Laduree and I can personal vouch for how lovely and yummy they are!

Also anything that is a local product to the Cote d'Azur would be appropriate.
