Most people have never hear of a christening bonbonniere, but it is actually a very common Italian tradition of giving each of your guests that attend your baby’s christening a small gift, or favor. We oftentimes refer to this act as baptism or christening favors, but a bonbonniere is a little bit more specific.
The standard bonboniere is usually associated with a wedding and a small bag of nuts was the norm. This tradition was passed on to christenings and can now consist of almost anything, but still is almost always some type of food. Chocolates, cookies, and nuts are the most popular, but many people have morphed the idea into picture frames, ornaments, or small keepsake boxes. Anything with a picture of the baby and a religious theme is also a popular concept.
Torta Bomboniera are also becoming more and more popular. It is the old Italian idea of putting together a bunch of smaller gifts in the shape of a cake. Many people have used small gift boxes, nuts, or cookies to form a “cake”. You can even find companies that will make these “cakes” for you.
If you want to give a christening bonbonnier or torta bomboniera as a gift, do a little research so you will be able to explain your gift to the parents of the baby. You will also want to think about personalizing the small gifts so they are appropriate for the occasion and mean something to everyone who is attending. Parents can use your cake or gifts as decorations, favors, place settings, or gifts.
