A Wedding is a once in a lifetime moment, choosing the right souvenir is one of the things that needs to be prepared much ahead of the event

In the event of a wedding, the tradition of exchanging souvenirs is no stranger to us. In fact, wedding souvenirs have become mandatory and are included in the list of wedding preparations that you need to think about from the start. This souvenir acts as a memento of the wedding that is held once in a lifetime. Therefore it is necessary for you to take the time to determine the best souvenir that can remind its owner of your special moment as well as a sign of gratitude to the guests who have come.
 

Things to Consider When Choosing Wedding Souvenirs


Deciding on wedding souvenirs should be done in the early stages of wedding preparation, considering that you have to determine both the price and the amount of the souvenirs you need to prepare beforehand.

Preparing wedding souvenirs is not always easy. Sometimes opinions from various parties collide with each other which may force you to spend a lot of time thinking about what souvenirs are appropriate with your theme and purpose. Here are some tips that you can refer to in determining wedding souvenirs:

  1. Adjust them according to your budget
    Adjusting the type of souvenir you want to choose with the budget you have is very crucial. A lot of people wanted to create a big impression on their wedding party by giving souvenirs that are too expensive for their budget, which forces them to sacrifice the budget of other wedding components, even though they can just give other souvenirs that are less expensive but still of decent quality. The most important thing is to allocate your souvenir budget wisely. It all depends on how you choose the items as souvenirs, so don't force yourself!
     
  2. Pick souvenirs that are useful
    Wedding souvenirs in the form of useful everyday items can always be a better souvenir choice for your wedding. Instead of handing out souvenirs that have little to no use only to be discarded by the guests later, it is better to give souvenirs that they can use in a longer period of time such as tumblers, cups and bowls. Aside from being useful, souvenirs like these are also affordable.
     
  3. Pick souvenirs that are easy to carry
    Most guests who attend weddings only bring a small bag. Sometimes they don't even bring any bags at all. You need to consider this when choosing wedding souvenirs. Choose souvenirs that are easy to carry, and if you want to give medium-sized souvenirs, be sure to use packaging with a carrying strap to make it easier for them to take the wedding souvenirs home.
