10 Gift Bags for Weddings: Kick Off Your Weeding By Greeting Arriving Guests with Cheerful and Sparkly Wedding Bags (2018)

Weddings are a big-time occasion for celebration; for not just the couple but also for all the people, friends and families close to them. It marks a new beginning in their lives, the start of so many new relationships all at once. So it is likely that you have already put in weeks of time and effort in making this day special for everyone, and, for the two of you as well. From the theme of the wedding to the dress collection to the food menu to every little detail, you might already have it all sorted. However, have you found the perfect wedding bag for guests? If not, don’t worry, we have you covered!

Finding the perfect wedding bag is a task. There are so many things to consider like the design, colour and even the style. The material of the bag is also something you should think about. You need to also know the number of things (and their size) that you want to put in the bag to help you choose the size of the bag. All of this is important in finding the perfect bag for your guests at the wedding. To help you, we have listed below the top 3 things that make the perfect wedding bag for guests –

The bag should, of course, be beautiful and elegantly designed; it is not every day that you are celebrating your wedding. Don’t go for bags that are funky or quirky (unless that is the theme of the wedding or just how you both identify each other). Pick bags that designed in an intricate way. There are several types of designs, colours, and styles that you can pick from.

Most of all, the bag should speak for the couple. It should be something that is calibrated according to your taste and preferences. You can also make the bag go well with the entire theme of the wedding, for example, if gold and red are the colours that have majorly been used in the decorations at the wedding then you can find a bag that reflects the same colours, design and style.

The best thing that you can do is to find a bag that has some sort of utility later as well. Don’t settle for bags that are more of use and throw; it is a sheer wastage of resources. You have a lot of bag options (like the ones made of jute) that can be re-used again. It would also be a sweet reminder of your wedding celebrations for all the guests.

Choosing a wedding bag that is elegant and suited to the couple’s tastes and preferences is a task in itself, however, another important thing is to understand what all things to put in the bag. You might want to add so many things in the bag which is, however, not possible. And at the same time, you cannot simply just give any random thing as well. It needs some thought, time and effort to finally figure out what all to put in the gift bag. See below the list of top 3 things that can make the perfect wedding bag for guests –

Even though we have all strayed away in some way or the other from our traditions and even marriage ceremonies have become so much more like the present, modern times; it is a beautiful time to again reconnect with our traditional and cultural side. Add something traditional in the bag for the guests as well. For example, add a box of Indian sweets like ladoo or katli instead of cake. This would be a nice ode to your traditional roots. If you both hail from different cultures then you can add one thing from each of your hometowns to make it special!

While you bring the traditions and culture to the forefront, you can also consider adding something a bit more modern for the guests that are looking for the same. A small box of assorted chocolates is a really good and evergreen option that almost everybody would love. You can also get customised chocolates made that are shaped in the way you want (like, maybe, in the shape of your initials). You can select from a range of chocolate flavours – milk, dark, white or more.

This one is a show stealer. There is nothing more personal than a handwritten note that expresses how you feel and shows your gratitude to the people. You can add a small, personalised handwritten note to say thank you to every guest that attended your wedding and added more colours to the celebration. People will truly feel valued and appreciated at this.

Remember, come what may, this is the most special day for the two of you. And, also remember, that you can take all the efforts to make everything perfect yet something might go wrong or someone will still not like something. There will still be that one person who will not like the gift bag or the sweets or chocolates (or even the couple, for that matter). Just relax and enjoy the day, throw all caution to the wind. It is your day and you should enjoy it to the fullest!
