As one of my favors we are giving the traditional Italian/ Greek koufetta- the jordan almonds candy. They are meant to symbolize that love is both bitter and sweet but we hope more sweet for the newlyweds. 5 almonds are included for the blessings of marriage- children, health, wealth, happiness, and long life. I made pillow boxes from thick cardstock- print a template for pillowboxes off the internet they come in all different sizes.
Use a tracing wheel or something similar to score the folding edges of the box, then fold and secure it closed with double sided tape- for all wedding things DIYed double sided tape is your best friend!
Fill with jordan almonds or candy, and tie off with a bow. I chose to decorate mine with these amazing Alice in Wonderland stamps and a tag that says "Eat Me"- like the candies Alice eats to grow smaller or taller. :)
