Jordan almond wedding favors are meaningful and traditional. The almond's bittersweet taste and famous candy coating represent the hope for a sweeter future for the new couple. Almonds should always be served in odd numbers because this symbolizes that the newlyweds will never be divided. Five almonds is the most popular number as each one represents a wish for the bride and groom to have health, wealth, happiness, fertility and longevity. Their unique blend of flavors, combining the bitterness of the almond with the sweetness of the sugar coating, reflects the balance of joy and challenges that couples face together.
It's always a sweet idea to honor the history behind Jordan almonds. Your guests will love this short poem tucked inside their wedding favor.
