Seeds
A great idea for a sustainable thank-you gift is to give your guests bags of seeds. For example, you can hand out personalised bags so that your guests can grow their own flowers . This not only symbolises the growth of your love, but it also contributes to a greener world. Add a nice little poem with instructions on how to plant the seeds and your guests will remember your special day for a long time to come.
Plants
It is also fun to give small plants as gifts. Choose for example succulents, herb plants or lavender. Or how about a fully personalised Sanseveria? Have the plants custom printed with, for example, your names, wedding date, a quote or another message. Ideal as an original and sustainable thank-you gift that your guests will enjoy for a long time!
Local delicacies
Let your guests enjoy local flavours by giving them local delicacies as a thank-you gift. Think small jars of honey from a local beekeeper or delicious chocolate from an artisan chocolatier in your area. By using local products, you not only support the local economy, but also reduce the carbon footprint of your thank you gifts.
Flowers
We often see that the beautiful flowers from a wedding are immediately thrown away afterwards. That is a shame, of course. So give your flowers a second life and give them as a thank-you gift. That way, you literally put your guests in the spotlight. A sustainable and original ‘thank you’.
Reusable items
Another eco-friendly option is to give reusable items as thank-you gifts. Think for example of personalised coffee mugs, water bottles or cotton bags. These items are practical and you can keep using them, making them a sustainable choice. Add a personalised thank-you message and you have a sustainable thank-you gift that is not only useful, but also brings back fond memories of your wedding celebration.
