Top Custom Wedding Welcome Gifts of the Year

Wedding welcome gifts are more than a thoughtful extra. They are the very first impression wedding guests receive when they arrive for a festive wedding weekend. From destination celebrations to hometown gatherings, custom wedding welcome gifts set the tone, share important details, and thank guests for being part of something meaningful.

Each year, our team at Marigold & Grey has the honor of designing custom wedding welcome gifts for couples across the country. These custom gift designs reflect not only the wedding’s destination or the location, but the couple’s story, their wedding aesthetic, and how they want their closest family and friends to feel from the moment they arrive to their wedding celebration. 

We are sharing some of the most memorable and beautifully executed custom wedding welcome gift designs from this year, each one thoughtfully curated to elevate the guest experience and intentionally designed to truly reflect the couple’s wedding day vision.

Whether you are looking for unique ideas in lieu of wedding favors, memorable ways to up-level your wedding’s guest experience, or planning a destination wedding, a multi day wedding weekend, or a hotel welcome experience for out of town guests, these top custom wedding welcome gift ideas highlight how intentional design, local details, and useful gift contents come together to create something unforgettable.

Let’s jump in and unbox Marigold & Grey’s top custom wedding welcome gifts of the year. (Full disclosure: these top custom gift designs are in no particular order. We could never pick our favorite, and you’ll soon see why. They were all too good and too special to choose!)
