Kitschy Cool Wedding Bomboniere
These creative and non-conventional favours give kitsch a new name.
by The Knot
Art-inspired
Encourage guests to channel their inner artist, and give out personalised colour pencils in bright colourful packaging — very fitting for an art gallery reception.
Scented Bundles
Give each guest a few stems of calm-inducing herbal incense, like jasmine or lavender. Tie the bundles with raffia and then around each napkin for a pretty place setting presentation.
Cocktail Accessories
Choose drink coasters that fit your wedding style — martini coasters for a ’40s-style wedding, twig coasters for a garden party.
Outdoor Fun
Kites aren’t just for kids. Splendid for causal waterside weddings or romantic park parties, small kites can be a sophisticated, and trend-setting, party favour.
Noisemakers
Make some noise! Maracas are so festive and sure to enliven even the liveliest of parties, perfect for a beach wedding or any party with Caribbean flair.
DIY Cool
At each setting, rest small fabric-covered scrapbooks or journals from your favourite stationery store. Write every guest a thank you note on the front page.
Jetsetter-approved
For the couple that loves to travel, send guests (and their bags) home with personalised luggage tagsboxed and tied with an “On the Road of Life Together” ribbon.
By the Book
True romantics might opt to give guests a copy of Shakespeare’s sonnets or a book of favourite love poems. Custom-create a bookmarkto add a personal touch.
