5 Steps to Picture Perfect Welcome Gifts

A wedding planner’s top tips for crafting personalized & memorable welcome gifts guests will love.

Start with Practical Essentials

If you were traveling for a wedding and staying in a hotel, what items might you need or want for the weekend?

The essentials:

  • Bottled / boxed water or reusable water bottles

  • Chapstick (especially if guests are traveling to a dry climate like Wyoming)

  • Advil

  • Breath mints

  • Snacks

If you’re short on time and want to purchase pre-designed essentials kits, A Signature Welcome has several pre-designed kits perfect for any event!

Add Local or Seasonal Flare

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Determine what Print Items You’d Like to Include

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
