Give the Gifts of Spirits
Impress your distilled spirit lovers by offering them a bottle of infused whiskey! Also impress with personalized beer can coolers or a hand forged bottle opener. Small bottles of personalized champagne also will not go to waste.
Personalized Glasses
When guests arrive at the reception, let a table of personalized glasses be the first thing they see. When they grab their glass, a tag with a personalized note and where they are seating can be attached, creating both a personal and a functional touch.
A Bag of Sandals
Whether you are having a beach wedding or an indoor wedding, the ladies will appreciate a wedding favor basket full of comfortable sandals so they know they can kick off their uncomfortable heels and dance in some comfy flip-flops.
Light Up the Night
If you are having a night wedding, offer guests a sparkler with a cute message on each one like, “Let love sparkle” so guests can have fun in a safe setting celebrating your night.
Let your guests know how much you appreciate them with alternative wedding favors.
Help Guests Plan the Song List
You don’t have to wait until the big day to get your guests involved. When you send them their invites, include a small questionnaire that asks them what their favorite song is and what they like to drink. This will help you plan your reception and make them feel special for being involved.
Welcome Bag for Out of Towners
Do you have guests that traveled a long way to come to your wedding? If they are coming from out of state, let them know how much you appreciate them by giving them out of town welcome bags with info about the area and gifts like oranges and sunglasses if they are coming to destination wedding in tropical settings.
