In
more cases than before I am seeing couples wanting to appreciate the presence
of their guests in unique and special ways.
I’ve seen couples thank their guests in the form of candles and lucky
elephants to beautiful jewelry boxes.
Some
items are even practical and useful during the wedding or reception and guests
can take them away after using them. One
example would be a folding fan during an outdoor ceremony. It gives coolness during the ceremony and
when guests are done using them they can take them away as a take away.
One
thing to remember is to try to get your gifts squared away when you take your
trip to India. You will not only find a
variety of different items to give but you will find them for a fraction of the
price. You can then ship your items to
the states or bring them with you if you have room in your luggage.
Another
trend that I’ve also seen couples do is give in lieu of cards instead of a
physical item to their guests. This when
a couple donates to a charity the amount that they would have spent on
favors. It’s a great way for the couple
to give back to an organization that is special to them.
The
one take away I would give to my brides when choosing a thank you gift is to
try to make it personal. This item is
the one thing that will remind your guests of the day they were a part of that
made your day special.
