WEDDING GIFTS

Many of my couples spend the holiday season planning their wedding. If that's the case for you, I hope this article will help you a little.

Gifts for wedding guests are almost a standard nowadays. Regardless of whether they are placed at the tables or handed at the exit personally by the Bride and Groom, they have one task to make your guests feel special. However, this small gift is often a nightmare for Bride and Groom. Why is it that way? These are the three most common mistakes Couples make.

1. Gift wrapping the day before the wedding.

If you are wondering if you will be able to pack the parcels at the last minute, I will say it straight. No! Simply do not! You need sleep and rest before the wedding, and the fuss of the upcoming party will slow down all the planned work. This solution means lack of sleep or imprecise execution.

If you decide to make or pack gifts for guests yourself, do so well in advance. Invite the family and spend the evening together sharing the work.

Also talk to the ballroom manager, if you deliver the packages early enough, they will definitely agree to put them on the tables next to the vignettes, so you will have one less problem to worry about on the wedding day.

2. Gifts not suited to the style of the party.

Many Couples do not realize that gifts for guests become a kind of decoration on the tables. Unfortunately, often the packages differ in color from the decoration of the room or do not match the style of the wedding that you have planned.

During a winter party, delicately decorated gingerbread cookies, wrapped in transparent foil and tied with a white ribbon will look much more elegant than, for example, pralines packed in boxes stylized as the Bride and Groom's outfits.

If you decide on a boho style, choose natural products - honey or tea. Are you having a casual party? Bet on mini cocktail sets with which your guests will be able to make the first toast.

If you want something very personal, let go of plastic fridge magnets, instead try to find a photo with each of the invited guests and print it in a Polaroid format, they will also serve as table cards. On each photo you can add a personally written dedication, such a souvenir will definitely disappear from the table.

3. Assuming all gifts are universal.

When planning gifts for guests, be sure to include everyone. Candy packs or wedding coloring books and crayons will give your little ones more fun than even the loveliest honey jars.

If you are preparing food gifts, remember to take into account possible allergies or dietary restrictions. Your cousin will surely appreciate a cookie without any chocolate or nuts to which she is allergic.

Your gift will be a small bottle of regional tincture? Remember about an alternative for pregnant women and people who do not consume alcohol.

Also try to diversify your gifts a little bit. Make gingerbreads have several different shapes and honeys several types. As a result, a family of four will not bring the same gifts home. Additionally, the different versions will be a great icebreaker for the table conwersations.

Beloved, the most important advice from me is, as always, remember to have fun while choosing and packing gifts for guests, without unnecessary stress.
