Discover our latest podcast
1. Thank them with flowers: What about making origami tulips (or other flowers) to thank your wedding guests? It's an original alternative to traditional wedding Thank You Cards. Don't forget to add a little thank you note, a little attention to detail would definitely not go amiss!
You could even use paper flowers as place cards. All you'll need to do is write your guests name and table number on the origami flower and Bob's your uncle! A present that is delicate, elegant, and practical. What more could you want?
2. Edible treats: Sweet lovers would be more than happy to receive little treats as thank yous for attending your wedding. It's a great idea for bringing together all your marriage themes. For example, for a vintage themed wedding you could have your favorite retro childhood sweets.
It could even be inspired by where you are getting married. Think about styling your gifts with personalised labels, inscribed with a lovely message.
3. Say thank you with music: Why not say thank you with music? Your big day wouldn't have been as perfect without your unique wedding soundtrack. How about giving a copy of your playlist to your wedding guests? Make a CD with cover art that matches your theme. What a breath of fresh air from boring thank you cards!
4. Eco friendly thank yous: Your guests being at your side was the best gift they could have given you. So, what's better than thanking them with a lasting gift?
What about seeds that they could grow? It's an eco-friendly gift idea, seeds in little recyclable cardboard packets. Your guests will remember your big day whilst watching their flowers grow. It's the perfect metaphor for your love that grows stronger each day.
What's even better is that you could put flowers in individual pots and use them as table centrepieces. This way you'll have your guests see the flowers over dinner before they get to take the seeds home with them at the end of the evening. This could also work with herbs. And there you have it, how to say thank you to your guests whilst involving mother nature.
5. Throw a party as a thank you: If your wallet can take it, how about organising a meal to reunite your loved ones? It'd be the perfect time to watch videos, look at photos and recall memories of your wedding day. At some point tell your loved ones how much you appreciated them being there. If you're counting the pennies after your big day how about having a brunch get together? It's a cheaper alternative that's just as enjoyable.
You could even put together a wedding video to send to all the people who couldn't make it to the meal.
