Note
A bomboniere (Italian pronunciation: [bombo´njε:re]), singular "bomboniera", (Italian pronunciation: [bomboˈnjɛːra]; Italian, from French bonbonnière, a box containing "bonbons") is a kind of fragrant-smelling party favor given out on special occasions such as weddings, baptism, First Communion or Confirmation. It usually consists of five Jordan almonds in a festive bag, with the almonds symbolizing health, wealth, happiness, fertility and long life. It is customary to inhale from it upon entering a guest´s home.

The bag is typically made of tulle or satin and tied with ribbons. The almonds are white for a wedding, First Communion or Confirmation; pink or light-blue for the birthday or baptism of a girl or boy; red for a graduation; and silver or gold for 25 or 50 year anniversaries.[citation needed] Often they are adorned with dried natural flowers or artificial flowers made of silk or paper. The bag is often given stored inside a small vessel made of silver, crystal or porcelain.
