Favour bags - How many sweets ?

Hello,

I have just bought 100 of these bags to fill with sweets for our wedding favours. Our theme is black, white and silver.



I have bought everton mints (black & white) and mint imperials to go in them. Made some tags with our names and wedding date to tie on the top.

Question is how many sweets per bag ?

Thanks

Next trip : December 2023

When my son got married I researched the history and discovered it should be 5 almonds to signify Health, Wealth, Happiness, Fertility and Long Life, however we decided against sugared almonds as we didn't want children choking on them or older guests breaking their teeth, so opted for a selection of heart shaped sweets but kept to the historical number of 5 to signify Health, Wealth, Happiness, Ferility and Long Life.

I think with these kinds of bags they would look best if you fill them right up as long as thats cost effective of course.

five is traditional, but your bags dont look traditional so I would go with the flow and fill them up

I think the style of your bags means you should fill 'em up!
Perhaps you could do something else on your tables to symbolise the 5?
