Gifting nuts and dried fruits as part of wedding favours or giveaways is an older tradition than most think. It is believed that the first wedding favour, common amongst European aristocrats, was known as a Bomboniere - a small trinket box made of crystal, porcelain, and/or precious stones containing sugar cubes. As sugar became more affordable, people began to replace bombonieres with sugar coated almonds. For centuries, almonds were commonly distributed to wedding guests to signify well wishes on the bridegroom’s new life and a symbol of wealth and royalty. This tradition, like most food ones, transcended borders to be both adopted and adapted in India according to culture.

As awareness about health practices evolved, most shifted from gifting sugar and dairy laden sweets to a more wholesome, healthy token to symbolise longevity and togetherness.
