Weddings cards with gifts

November 30th, 2009

Planning ahead is a wise decision especially when it involves marriages of a lifetime. Sometimes it is not the budget that decides the kind of card but other factors too. In Indian weddings as a sign of auspiciousness a wedding card is sent with sweets and a gift. The tradition continues but the gifts have become more global. So an urban wedding card is likely to be hand delivered with a bottle of bubbly and sparkling champagne or wine! But this happens in few weddings. But what has become trendier is giving gift wrapped chocolates with the wedding card beautifully placed in the hamper basket. For close families and friends the hamper also includes nutritious seasonal fruit platter.

Just like the extravaganza that accompanies the rituals for Indian weddings, even the cards reflect the mood of the occasion. With the help of the internet one can source some of the most unique ideas to compliment the bridal couple. The latest trends include bouquets of flowers. With many different kinds of flower arrangements the wedding card carries a lot more value. While the technical marvel of the wedding card with computer graphics, colors and symbols can be a little impersonal, one can make it all up with a gift that is very personal. The current trends in wedding cards design elements include personalised wordings inside. The outside is expressed with a mouth watering bitter chocolate box or traditional sweets wrapped very deliciously. While conceptualizing the wedding card and accompanying gifts think of the theme that will also be used for the main event. Most people send the gifts and cards and fail to cross check whether they have received it. Call to confirm the receipt.

Other useful tips:

  • If the guest list is too long avoid giving gifts to all. It will increase the budget. Stick to the most important guests to shower the gift. TheĀ  cost of both will add to the expenditure.
  • Bear in mind also the courier and delivery charges that will add up the charges. The more the people, additional will be the expenditure.
  • Avoid sending gifts that will be useless to the guests. For example there is no need to send sweets to a diabetic guest. Chose a nice bunch of flowers instead.
  • Mix and match gifts with the cards for different guests. They will be very pleased to know you care.
