Finding the Perfect Wedding Giveaways
Unique wedding giveaways aren’t a wedding requirement, but they undoubtedly set the mood and add more to any couple’s wedding experience. Finding the perfect wedding giveaway can be hard though, which is why we listed down some things you should consider when looking for unique wedding giveaways.
Budget
Before you can even consider how unique you want your wedding giveaways to be, you need to settle on your budget first. Sure, that succulent starter set may be something that your guests will love, but if it exceeds your wedding budget then you might have to look for other options. When choosing a wedding giveaway, always look at your wedding budget and your priorities.
Remember that wedding giveaways are not essential or mandatory for your wedding. While they do set the mood, you don’t have to stretch out your budget just to give them out. However, if you’re dead set on giving your guests something, you can always look for unique but affordable wedding giveaways! After all, when it comes to weddings, it’s the thought and not the expensiveness of things that counts.
Theme
Theme and budget are two of the most important things to settle in any Filipino wedding checklist since a lot of things depend on the two. That remains true when it comes to hunting for unique wedding giveaways. When picking out your giveaways, keep in mind the motif and theme of your wedding. That also includes taking note of the location and time of your wedding.
Knowing the theme of your wedding makes it easier to incorporate tiny details of your special day into your creative wedding giveaways. For instance, a rustic wedding can have delicately woven accessories while a destination wedding could have native delicacies as its giveaway. Play with your wedding’s themes, motifs, and even color palette and you might find interesting items for your giveaways!
Type
Finally, consider the type of giveaway you will be handing out when choosing your giveaways. The type will determine when you can distribute your giveaways, as well as how you should store or package them,
If your unique wedding giveaways are food or trinkets that you can use after the wedding, you should probably distribute them after the reception. It’s best to simply have a table or station where your guests can grab a goodie bag before they leave the reception area.
On the other hand, if you’re giving away favors that are meant to be used in the venue, it’s best to distribute them before your reception starts or as soon as the guests arrive. This allows them to fully maximize your giveaways and enjoy the party.
Unique Wedding Giveaway Ideas in the Philippines

Any of these items will serve as a happy reminder of your big day. Add in a wedding thank you note for your guests and your wedding giveaways will truly leave a smile on their faces!
Face masks
We’re living in a strange time where face masks as wedding favors are a real thing. It’s either a cheeky idea or a brilliant one but what matters is that they’re practical and creative wedding giveaways for guests. They’ll surely appreciate the fact that you took their health and safety into consideration when planning out your wedding.
You can purchase made-to-order personalized face masks in bulk from shops like Digital Printing. They can print any design in multiple colors starting at Php35.00.

Hand sanitizer or alcohol bottles
Aside from face masks, your guests will surely appreciate hand sanitizers or alcohol. Again, we live in a time where these items are considered necessities, so your guests will definitely get some use out of these. Pack them with your face masks or put them on a cute bag tag, so your guests can easily hang them in their purses.

Just make sure to put the CDs in pretty packaging! It would also be great to have a list of all the tracks to go along with the CD. You can purchase empty CDs in bulk at your nearest CD-R king or Octagon branch. Shops like Serbida also offer eco-friendly wallet CD packaging sleeves that can be personalized. You can order them with CDs included. Price starts at Php50.00 per piece.
Lip balm
The average person loses their lip balm at least once a month. I don’t have scientific evidence to back it up, just firsthand experience but I bet you’ve lost a lip balm or two too! So have your guests. They’ll surely appreciate having a new lip balm in their kit and yes — men can use them too! After all, chapped lips are not exclusive to the ladies only.
The Daily Bar has soothing lip balms that would make for creative and unique giveaways for weddings. They’re made with cocoa butter, beeswax, and coconut oil to repair and soothe chapped lips.
