Indian Wedding Hamper Ideas for Guests on their arrival
Whether you have planned a local wedding or a destination wedding, you need to take good care of your guests from the start. It becomes important for them to be comfortable and guided with these Indian Wedding Hamper Ideas.
You might not be around to receive them due to wedding plannings, but these hampers can make them feel welcomed.
Providing them with hampers in their room would be handy and they will be happy to receive them! Make sure the hampers are useful, fun, and personal at the same time. And it would be best if you customise them according to your budget and style!
Though baskets and boxes are super cute ways to present these hampers, it is not handy for the guests who come by air for a destination wedding. So an alternative idea best for the purpose would be tote & beach bags that can be carried easily and can be put to good use later.
You can use these ideas to make your guests happy and rejoice later.
- Place a programme/event booklet in their room with dates and timings mentioned. Be creative with these hampers. You can use paper, glass, or any aesthetic material to get imprinted with it.
- Add a hotel or site map, map of the city (for destination wedding) at their facility, so that they can easily navigate to places without getting confused. Put good information like sightseeings and restaurants and spas for spending their personal time. Also, make sure you have a personalised feel in these locations and resources, and not adding just for the sake of mentioning.
- Include some sweets, chocolates, granola bars, snacks, and candies for a fun and chewy time pass!
- When organised a beach or poolside wedding, don’t forget to include towels, sanitisers, and sunscreens in the hamper. Also, add some basics like soap, first aid, etc.
- Add local stuff to the welcome hamper. If you have planned a destination wedding then include the specialities of the place in the hamper. For example, put a box of Til Patti for a Jaipur wedding or Mysore Pak for a Bangalore Wedding.
- Let’s say you have planned your wedding in some other accommodation than a hotel, then it is a must you also include toiletries, towels, and other sanitary essentials in the bag.
These were some of the basic stuff that you should add to the wedding hamper for guests. But, how to have fun? Add more surprises!
Here are some fun elements, apart from basic stuff, that you can include in the wedding hamper.
- Add something personal! Something that you both are fond of and reflects you as a couple. Include some exotic tea sashes, a bottle of wine, cookies, or a miniature bottle of scent.
- A great idea is to have a disposable camera in the room, which they can use to click pictures throughout the wedding. Once they receive their pictures, they will leave the camera at the destination.
- Have a Hangover kit to the wedding hamper for the after crazy nights and the cocktail party. This would help your friends and relatives to relax after a tiring gala.
Last but not least: Don’t forget to add a Thank You Note in the Indian wedding hamper for guests. Whether you have planned a local wedding or a destination wedding, add a personalised thank you note for your loving guests.
Thank them for taking out time and attend their special day. That way, they will feel at home and will shower their blessings upon you with all love and compassion.
