Choosing guest gifts

27 September 2023

Your wedding is one of the most memorable moments of your life, and there’s nothing more precious than sharing it with those closest to you. To show your gratitude to your guests for their presence and support, it is customary to give wedding gifts. However, choosing the right gifts can be a challenge. How do you find the perfect gift that reflects your gratitude and will please all your guests? Here are a few ideas and tips to help you choose the perfect wedding gifts.

Gift ideas

The personal touch :

Opt for gifts that reflect your personal style as a couple. Personalised gifts are a great option. You could consider key rings engraved with your names and wedding date, glasses personalised with your initials, or even fridge magnets to remind you of the special day.

The practical side :

Practical gifts are always appreciated. Think about what your guests might use on a day-to-day basis. Elegant card holders, quality scented candles, or seed packets to plant are useful options that will remind them of your special day.

In line with the wedding theme :

If your wedding has a specific theme, make sure the gifts match. For example, if you celebrated your union on the beach, give wooden fans or decorative seashells to remind you of the location.

The ecological side :

For those who care about the environment, opt for eco-friendly gifts. Potted plants, reusable canvas bags or bamboo cutlery sets are nature-friendly choices.

Homemade :

If you have craft skills, consider creating the gifts yourself. Homemade jams in pretty jars, hand-scented artisan candles, or carefully decorated biscuits are homemade gifts that exude a touch of love.

Our advice

Avoid disposable objects :

Avoid gifts that are likely to end up in the bin quickly. Opt for durable, quality items that will have long-term value.

Don’t forget the presentation :

Wrapping counts. Wrap your gifts in boxes that match your wedding décor. Careful presentation adds a touch of class to your gifts.

The budget :

Consider your overall wedding budget when choosing gifts for guests. There’s no need to spend a fortune to show your appreciation.

The thank you :

Include a small personalised thank-you card with each gift. Write a heartfelt message to express your gratitude.

Plan extras :

Include a few extra gifts for last-minute guests or the unexpected. This will save you a lot of last-minute stress.
