Guide to Wow Wedding Welcome Gifts
We believe weddings and celebrations are opportunities to truly host your loved ones - and that begins well before ceremony time. One of our favorite ways to begin the wedding weeknd is with a locally sourced welcome gift. We’ve worked with our clients to curate meaningful, personal boxes, baskets, and bags that nod to both the couple and the wedding locale.
Here are some of our favorite tips:
Incorporate Your Aesthetic: monograms, color palettes, illustrations, typography - find opportunities to carry these elements of your stationery aesthetic to your welcome gifts to create continuity for your guests.
Shop Local: our clients hold celebrations near and far - it’s important to pay homage to what makes these destinations unique, and to bring your loved ones into the memories created there.
Make it Purposeful: we’re big on intentionality - gifting your guests with items that are not only fun but functional is key. Local snacks and beverages offer a taste of local flavor while keeping everyone nourished between events.
Smooth Delivery: going the extra mile matters - that’s why we personally assemble and deliver welcome gifts for all of our planning clients, no matter how many guests, or how many hotels.
