The tradition of giving gifts to wedding guests has existed since ancient times. In the past it was mainly sweets and talismans. Nowadays, however, many bridal couples approach the selection of gifts with great creativity. However, the main rule remains the same: the compliment should be small so that it easily fits in a pocket or purse. The Wedding Host duo Fasol recommends.
The most popular option is a sweet gift that guests can eat right at the wedding. These can be candies, fortune cookies or cupcakes. If the wedding takes place in the warm season, complement the gift with a beautifully decorated soft drink. Newlyweds planning a walk and photo shoot before the banquet should put together a box of delicious snacks: fruits, nuts, donuts.
As a sweet gift, many newlyweds prefer to take chocolate figurines, cakes and handmade sweets. If you decide to give such a gift, remember that chocolate products can melt in the sun. Therefore, be sure to consider the timing of the celebration and weather conditions before ordering desserts. Here are some other delicious treats you can gift to guests at your wedding:
Finding personalised gifts for all your guests is not an easy task. Especially if there are a lot of guests coming to the wedding. In this case, many couples want to thank their friends and relatives separately and therefore order different gifts. We advise you to refrain from this idea in order not to offend other guests. It is better to prepare identical gifts, but let your imagination run wild. And if children are invited to the wedding, soft toys are the best gift for them.
You can take it a step further and make homemade gifts for your wedding guests. Organize a master class and prepare your own cocktail for each guest or make designer vases. Organizers often come up with gift ideas using guests’ names. For example, for a space-themed wedding, you might present your guests with a certificate certifying that a particular star in the sky is now named after them. Or order table napkins made of natural fabric with individual embroidery.
Memorable souvenirs for guests are no less popular than candies. This is ideal for a wedding with more than fifty guests. If you think a fridge magnet with a photo of the newlyweds is trivial, think about royal weddings. For example, at the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, all guests received a bag with the couple’s monogram and unforgettable gifts: a magnet, a chocolate medal, shortbread cookies, a bracelet and a gift certificate.
Therefore, any souvenirs that will remind guests of your wedding can be a gift. For example, a ballpoint pen or fountain pen with a notebook decorated with a photo of the newlyweds. However, before ordering souvenirs, make sure that the gifts are different from those that the wedding presenter gives out for participating in contests.
