So you’re thinking of having a destination wedding? What about travel wedding flavor ideas? Whether you’re jetsetting to Rome, planning a beach-themed bash in the Bahamas, or merely heading back to your hometown for the big day, travel weddings offer a romantic sense of novelty and adventure. However, they also require a bit of extra planning and a few travel wedding favor ideas to get you started.
Five Fabulous Travel Wedding Favor Ideas
If your guests are spending a substantial amount of money in order to attend your destination wedding, it’s essential that you gift them with something unique, beautiful, and thoughtful. That’s where favors come in. A meaningful thank-you gift makes guests feel appreciated for their generosity. Here are some lovely ideas for thanking the important people in your life!
Small Suitcases
Whenever I travel, I end up bringing back more than I originally brought with me. Why not gift guests with a small suitcase or luggage container? Suitcases–especially classy vintage varieties–complement the travel nature of your wedding, but are also practical. Make guests’ lives a little easier (and prettier) and you can rest assured your friends and family will go home happy (with extra souvenirs). And these personalized luggage tags add a nice touch!
A Place to Compose Traveling Notes
Travel and writing definitely go hand in hand. Send your wedding guests home with a compact place to compose their thoughts on the wedding, travel musings, and to-do lists! You can purchase Moleskin notebooks or even opt for wedding-centric, personalized varieties. Add a fancy pen for good measure! Practical and timeless!
Travel Essentials For Your Carry-On Bag
When traveling, I usually end up packing some of my must-have items away, forcing me to buy new versions at the giftshop. A person can never have too much chapstick or mints. Consider giving loved ones little travel “emergency kits,” packaged in a creative way, containing essentials like a book of crossword puzzles, lip balm, sweet treats, mints, and instant coffee. And the bonus, these items are really affordable.
Disposable Camera or Photo Booth Pictures
Encourage your wedding party and guests to capture your special day the old-fashioned way. And the bonus, if they don’t use the entire roll, they can document their sightseeing and other memorable moments. If this isn’t your style, you could set up a photo booth at the reception and invite friends and family to have their photo taken. They can go home with a personal souvenir. Feel free to incorporate cute props into the photo sessions.
Climate-Appropriate Accessories
Are you having a beach wedding? Give guests flip flops, a tiny bottle of sunscreen, and/or shades. Are you having a Parisian destination wedding? Gift your attendees with scarves, a gift certificate to a local cafe, or even a barrett. If your special day is taking place in a snowy enviroment, create gift bags that include mittens and hot chocolate. Use your imagination and consider your wedding theme in your favor planning. Ask yourself, what would tie all the elements of your wedding together?
