Express Gratitude in Style – Wedding Favour Inspiration!



Destination weddings are like mini vacations for the guests attending your celebration —and some fun souvenirs to reminisce your wedding ought to be on your checklist!

When your folks have to travel to be a part of your wedding festivities, guests have to put in a tad bit more to accommodate the flights, work schedules and so on. Thematic, standout thank-you gifts are a great way to show your guests you are thankful for all of it. We’ve seen some cool stuff around the web and we’re here to inspire with some quirky ideas we totally adore!
Keep reading!

For memory worthy favors, choose things that either depict the destinations culture, lifestyle or are locally sourced/custom made at the wedding location itself. You could also pick some functional goods like shawls, potted succulents or sunglasses depending on the event/theme.  People are more likely to take back stuff that’s easy to carry back in their luggage, something that’s functional and pretty afcourse!

Potted Succulent/Cactus


These are perfect, pretty & add the rustic touch. 
Moreover succulents are low maintenance plants, super pretty and easy on the pocket! 



Mini Blankets/Shawls Wedding Favors


Perfect for winter weddings & chilly nights.
All the pretty ladies are bound to love these and will definitely use them at some point.


                                        Pool-Themed Wedding Favors


Pool party on your wedding itinerary? 
Hand your guests custom printed bags with goodies they can enjoy by the pool. Custom koozies, sunglasses, drink floats etc.



Regional Wedding Favors


Favors local to the destination are an amazing and inexpensive gifting idea. Many couples will throw in a miniature adult beverage for their guest, but to keep up with your destination theme, find out what the favorite local liquor or beverage is. Print out a sweet personal note attached to each miniature bottle and your guest will have a fantastic keepsake from your wedding day.
If you have a Goa wedding planned, here are few options you could consider, that are a hit always!


Miniature Feni Bottles


Custom Printed Tiles/Frames/Plates

These beautiful prints can be customised according to your choice. These draw inspiration from “Azulejos” Portuguese tiles that depict the lifestyle and local goan culture.




Beach Bag Wedding Favors




With beach weddings as the raging trend, custom made beach bags in nautical prints or any  other pretty print make for a great wedding favour idea, that guests can take back and reuse.




Bottle Opener Wedding Favors




These can be customized based on your wedding destination, theme and so much more. Totally functional & each time it comes handy, your guests will remember all the fun they had!


These are super adorable, functional, and a perfect little favour to put in your destination wedding welcome bags.  Your guests will put these to good use at the resort and back at home too. 

Flip Flops




We totally love this idea, place these at your wedding reception/sangeet night in all sizes and colors of your choice and no one will be left with an excuse to be off the dance floor!

 Coasters


Yet another functional wedding giveaway!


Coasters are also a favorite because they’re something guests can take home and put to good use for years to come.

Luggage Tags


Probably the most practical of all destination wedding favors is the luggage tag.


Add in a special message to express your idea behind the favour. You could also custom print these with the names of your guests.


Canvas Art


Khwahish Art custom makes art prints on canvas; these can be customized in prints of your choice or to match the theme of your wedding/events. These are beautifully packed and make excellent giveaway options.

  

Wine Stopper




If you have some wine lovers on your guest list, then they are going to love this destination wedding favor!  They’re practical, fun and inexpensive!

Fans


If you’re tying the knot in a tropical location, fans are a very inexpensive, cute and really useful addition to your wedding welcome bags. 

  

Mini Aloe Vera Gel



If you’re not familiar with aloe Vera gel, it is the Holy Grail when it comes to soothing sunburn.  You could pack these into travel size portions and add custom labels. These could go into welcome bags or can be placed during your pool parties/beach events.

Maracas



 Maraca, sometimes called rumba shaker, chac-chac, and various other names, is a rattle which appears in many genres of Caribbean and Latin music. Mexican themed wedding or not these make for super cool  wedding favours!

Goa Wedding on Your Wish list? Here are some quick tips to Plan that Picture Perfect Dream Wedding!



Right from a beach wedding on the white sands of Goa, to a church affair in one of the breathtakingly beautiful churches with their Portuguese memorabilia.
If you’ve imagined a wedding with quirk and boho beach vibes, a destination wedding in Goa is all you need!

#1 Pick a Side

South & North Goa

While each district has its own charm, South of Goa witnesses fewer footfalls of visitors. This means the beaches hidden in the quaint villages of South Goa are less crowded and more peaceful. Several world renowned hotel chains operate here with direct access to the beach in most cases. On the other hand North Goa is buzzing with activity at all times, has several night clubs and pubs you could pick from if you are planning a crazy night out with your friends prior or post the wedding. North Goa also has some beautiful beaches that are popular worldwide; however owing to their popularity you could expect these hot spots to be bustling with international/ domestic travelers especially between November – January. North Goa has fewer resorts/hotels to choose from when compared to the South. You could also choose a home stay or a beautiful Portuguese casa over a stay at the resort or a hotel.
#2 When to Plan?

When to Plan your wedding depends on two important factors #1 how you picture your wedding to be #2 the amount you wish to spend on your wedding. If a dreamy wedding by the beach and a chic reception outdoors is your idea of a perfect wedding, October to February should be your pick. The evenings are way more pleasant during these months and a wedding during these months is bound to cost you more. If you still wish to have a destination wedding in Goa, without the frills and thrills of a beach wedding, that’s an option too! Plan between May – September. Monsoon weddings are now a trend in Goa and are a good way to ensure your budget is in check, as most resorts offer discounted rates over this season.

#3 How to go about the planning process?

If you want an easy breezy wedding with very little to worry about, an event planner is the answer to your prayers. Goa has extremely skilled event planners, that will help you put together a picture perfect wedding effortlessly. The professionals are familiar with how Goa functions and can help you with everything right from the hotel reservations, the wedding decor, the entertainment, food, the licenses, permissions you would require and almost everything you can imagine. Planning a church or gurudwara wedding is also possible when in Goa with prior permissions from the authorities at the church/gurudwara. In most cases the event planner can guide you and help you with this too.
