Koufeta or boubounieres are the most popular Greek wedding favors

[cf_fraiser]

Koufeta which are also called boubounieres are Greek wedding and baptism favors. They are usually nuts covered in chocolate and wrapped in soul with a ribbon. The candies are usually white or pastel colored. They are handed out as a favour at the end of the wedding or baptism, and as a way to say thank you or remember the wedding or baptism. I see more and more families being a bit more creative with their favorites. Last year I went to a wedding where a small jars of honey or hand it out, it was very neat.

Koufeta is not the same thing as a boboniera. There is the koufeta, which you eat, and there is the bag/box that the koufeta go in. The two combined are called a boboniera.

I found some koufeta recently from my sister's wedding. It brought back some great memories! This is a classic, necessary thing at a Greek wedding.
