Return Gifts
Wedding Return Gifts Guests Actually Keep
Thamboolam bags, silver-plated keepsakes and dry fruit boxes — how to choose, how many to order and when to book.
3 min read
A return gift is the last thing a guest takes home from a wedding. The best ones are useful, carry a little tradition and don't end up forgotten in a cupboard.
Choose by who is coming
- All guests: a thamboolam bag or a small boxed diya works for large numbers and every age.
- Ladies at the muhurtham: a pasupu-kumkum box or silver-plated kumkum bowls.
- Close family: a silver-plated coin or a larger brass piece.
How many to order
Count the confirmed guests for each tier, then add a small buffer for the people who always arrive unannounced. It is far easier to have a few left over than to run short at the door.
Names and the date
Printing the couple's names and the wedding date on the tag or box makes a simple gift a keepsake. We do it free, and send a photo of one finished piece before making the rest.
When to book
Two to three weeks before the wedding is comfortable for most orders. In the wedding season, or for large quantities, message us earlier so we can hold stock — and we deliver to the function hall on the day.
