Wedding welcome boxes are one of our very favorite destination wedding details. Filled with goodies of your choice, welcome boxes are the perfect way to get guests excited for the big day and are also a special way to show appreciation for your guest’s attendance — especially if they’ve traveled far to be at your wedding. And when it comes to putting together the perfect welcome box, we’ve got a few tips and tricks up our sleeve. From personalized packaging to the special items that go inside, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite ideas below and can’t wait to know your favorite ideas for a wedding welcome box, too. So, take a peek at what we put inside this beautiful love box below, as well as our helpful tips and more examples of welcome boxes for a little inspiration.
Packaging
For packaging, we especially love the idea of personalized boxes. Alternatively, you may also consider gift bags. For a full look on the inside, try adding tissue paper, confetti, or paper shavings.
Inside the Box
While not a rule, we like to include items that are practical, fun, and coordinate with your wedding theme. Here are some items to consider.
- Snacks (eg. nuts, caramel corn, jam)
- Drinks (eg. water bottles, mini bottles of champagne, iced coffee)
- Something Sweet (eg. chocolate covered pretzels, Hershey’s kisses, cookies)
- Something Practical (eg. lip balm, mints, Advil)
- Something thematic (eg. a stemless wine glass for a wine wedding)
