Giving favors
can be traced back to the Romans in 400 B.C. when the groom distributed
walnuts to his friends as a farewell to being a bachelor. Also during
the 15th century it was customary for the English Court to give little wedding favor boxes made of precious metal filled with almonds to symbolize good wishes.
Where did the idea of wedding favors come from? Nobody seems to know
for sure. But, we do have records of brides and grooms in England
giving away love knots made out of lace and ribbons during the 16th and
17th centuries, and Russians have always been known for the wedding
couple not only receiving beautiful gifts, but bestowing one on each
guest as well.
In Italy, during In the 18th century, upper class,
noble families would give solid silver gifts to as many
as 1800 guests at their wedding. By the end of the 19th century, even
the peasants would give wedding tradition almonds in a gold paper card
box to the guests at their wedding.

fyi:
The Jordan Almond is often used as a wedding favor because the candy-coated nut supposedly represents both the
bitter and the sweet of marriage, custom dictates that you give five
pieces to each guest, to represent the five wedding wishes: health,
wealth, happiness, fertility and longevity.
