- Make a list of invitees in advance. The number of prizes for children must correspond to the number of invitees; you can even take them with a small margin.
- Knowing exactly who will come, it is much easier to plan the event. The event plan is drawn up based on the personal qualities of each child.
- Directly select prizes for competitions. It’s worth noting right away that surprises don’t necessarily have to be expensive or valuable. They may be small, but interesting, and this is the most important thing for children.
- Today, small and inexpensive gifts for children are presented in a wide range; they can be bought both in regular stores and ordered online. And if you have the opportunity and skill, create a surprise with your own hands, there is also plenty of material for this now. It will turn out inexpensive, but quite original.
Original gifts
Competitions are one of the most significant components of every wedding. Many guests will not remember what was on the table or what flowers they decorated the room with - but what made them have fun will definitely remain in their memory. Therefore, you can prepare original prizes for participation and victory in competitions, which will evoke pleasant feelings even after many years.
Original gifts:
- Cups are handmade or made to order. They may be of unusual shape or color. If the newlyweds want to leave a reminder on the dish where it came from, it is worth imprinting the wedding date on the bottom. You can also decorate the sides with a golden inscription, with words pleasant for the recipient.
- A notepad or notebook in a circle or diamond shape.
- Handmade photo frames or albums - although such prizes are classified as ordinary, due to the fact that they are decorated by hand, they become unique. And unlike store-bought ones, they are always appropriate - after all, they are created to order by newlyweds who know exactly what and who will like it.
- Soft blankets, in the corner of which there is a small monogram of the first letters of the names of the bride and groom, as well as the wedding date.
- Magnets are handmade or made from unusual materials. Wooden animals that are rarely associated with weddings look very creative - foxes, hares, wolves, bears, cats and squirrels look beautiful on any refrigerator. But you can also choose more exotic animals - red pandas, phoenixes, giraffes, dolphins. The main thing is that they do not remind of some negative quality (pig, cow, deer, goat, etc.).
- Hobby-related prizes are pleasant little things that will delight the guest because the newlyweds remember his hobby. When doing what you love, a person will always remember the newlyweds and a fun wedding.
- Jars of colorful jam or honey, with beautiful homemade stickers and lids.
- Chocolate packed in paper with a photograph of the newlyweds.
- Gift alcohol (small bottles) with a funny or inspirational card.
- Desserts made by the bride (groom).
- Made-to-order desserts are a great way to delight your guests. Homemade chocolate figurines look especially beautiful.
- Handmade soft toys are well suited for giving gifts to any guests, regardless of their age. Often newlyweds refuse such gifts because there is a stereotype that this can only be given to their girlfriends or children. But small, neat toys are also suitable for serious people; the main thing is to choose calm colors.
- A set of aromatic oils with a special lamp.
- Homemade candles.
- Jewelry boxes or stands for writing instruments.
- Small embroidered paintings are a very unusual gift, and the more carefully the depicted subject is chosen, the more likely it is that it will be hung in the house.
Original gifts require more time and effort to choose. After all, the list of standard things consists of those that have stood the test of time.
But unusual ones are always a flight of fancy, and if chosen hastily, they can be ridiculous or useless. Unlike standard prizes, original copies have a number of disadvantages:
- Newlyweds need to know exactly the characters of their guests in order to choose the right gifts.
- To select personalized prizes, it is important not only to know the interests of the guests, but also to spend a lot of time searching for them.
- You need to know exactly who will be participating in the competition in order to award the appropriate prizes. This greatly complicates the work of the presenter, because he needs not only to remember about competitions and words, but also who to call, so as not to confuse the prizes.
Original prizes are a very good way to make your wedding stand out from the crowd of others. After all, when choosing gifts for guests, newlyweds spend more time thinking, which means a more careful selection of things.
This increases the likelihood that the prize will be truly useful and evoke positive emotions.
