Give Something You're Gonna Use

You’re getting married? Congratulations! You’re now busy planning the day that will reflect all the love the two of you have for each other. There are so many things to think about! You want to make sure every single detail is up to par in order to make the day perfect.

Give a party favor that your guest will cherish and keep

Let’s face it: throwing such a ceremony is expensive, especially if you have many guests or a big family (or both). Getting wedding favors for all of them can quickly become rather expensive. And there is no point in getting the people you value enough to attend this most important event of your life some trinket that will end up in a garage sale or that will collect dust somewhere on a shelf. There has been a rising trend in the past years for useful wedding favors. It just makes sense to give your guests a gift that will remind them how wonderful that milestone was, as wonderful as the two of you are. We see more and more of those clever ideas of all kinds of small objects that will bring up memories of that day. Here is a list of a few ideas:

Plants such as succulents, herbs, or even trees for invitees to plant at home are decorative and eco-friendly;
Flip flops are great for summer weddings, especially for ladies whose fancy shoes hurt too bad to dance;
Candles will warm up any décor, and may even light up someone’s world during the next energy shortage;
Lip balms are a great option for winter weddings: most people use them, and think of how many of them you lost last winter! A new one can always come in handy;
Coffee mugs or glasses can double duty as branded reception items for your wedding dinner and as wedding favors;
And any kitchen staple, such as wooden spoons, coasters, salt and pepper shakers, and obviously personalised engraved wood cutting boards, are great options.

Don’t forget! Anything your guests will be able to reuse is also green!

Have Fun

Now that you have decided on what you would like to get, the fun begins! Anything useful can be personalized with laser engraving and customized to indicate pretty much anything you want. You can be more traditional and get your initials and the date laser engraved somewhere, or you can spread a message. Or engrave an object that will represent what both of you are. Or all of the above! This is where you can be the most creative. And the most fun part of it is holding your tongue about it until the ceremony! Surprising your guests with something out of the ordinary that they’re not expecting is guaranteed to make a lasting impression.

Fun and Function Getting Married

We were talking earlier about offering a party favor that is useful, unique and fun. A personalised laser engraved wood cutting boards is just that!

Here are a few examples of what to engrave on your cutting board for your wedding:

Wood cutting boards are used in every kitchen regularly. Your gest will keep them and use them for years to come. Getting wholesale wood cutting boards with engraving is also budget friendly, since you can take advantage of wholesale pricing on orders as small as 25 units.
