Favor Help... Jordan Almonds, Tradition, Expense...

angiewr0910

I'm first generation American born to a now deceased Sicilian immigrant and would like to give 5 jordan almonds with a little insert explaining the Italian tradition to each of my wedding guests. (I am having a Sicilian rehearsal dinner and will likely have the tarantella performed at my reception: these three things are all Italian nods I am doing to honor my father and heritage).

Back to the Jordan almonds. I plan to put the almonds and note in a clear filigree pillow box with a metal "thank you" charm, tied with a ribbon. Is this a "favor" or do I need to also get something more lasting and tangible for the guests? ... I am already speding around $100-$120 a guest so I am trying very hard to be mindful of saving money, honoring my heritage, and not coming off as cheap...

Any thoughts? Opinions? Similar experiences?

It's plenty and I love that it is keeping in the overall theme of your wedding.  You don't need anything else.
