Destination Wedding Guest Gift Ideas




Your wedding guests basically put their personal lives on pause, dipped into their savings, got on a plane, all to celebrate YOU on your special day. Now they deserve a gift of appreciation. 

Destination weddings are unique, and thoughtful gifts can make the celebration even more special. Here are some destination wedding gift ideas:

Travel Voucher
Offer a travel voucher to help the newlyweds explore their destination further or plan their honeymoon. Talk to your destination specialists who might have access to travel and resort vouchers from their partner resorts and airlines, knowledge of special discounts and offers for your group during your hotel or villa stay.

Local Experiences
Research and gift them a local experience like a romantic dinner, guided tour, or spa day. Again, your planner is very instrumental here. They would have knowledge of leisure activities by reputable providers and access to special rates for personalized and unique experiences. 

Luggage Tags
Get luggage tags customized with their names and wedding date to make their journey memorable. Your wedding stationery design could assist you here and provide you with matching sets from your invitation to your wedding day stationery and personalized guest gifts. 

Beach Towels
If it's a beach destination, consider high-quality beach towels with a personal touch. 

Destination Cookbook or Cooking Class
Compile a cookbook featuring recipes from the wedding location or the couple's favorite dishes. Some providers also host cooking classes where you cook learn to make local dishes as a group. This is a beautiful experience when staying in a private villa. 

Travel Guide 
A travel guide or a book about the destination can be a great gift for them to explore the place. Your destination specialists and planner may also supply the group with digital and interactive itineraries which makes it easy to guests to explore the destination. 

Photo Album or Frame
Help them capture memories with a destination-themed photo album or frame. Your photographer could provide personalized, individual portraits for guests to treasure. 

Spa or Relaxation Package
Offer a couples' spa day or a relaxation package at a local spa. This might be easily accessible if staying in an all-inclusive resort. 

Donation to a Local Charity
Make a donation to a local charity in their name to give back to the destination.

Custom Art
Commission a local artist to create a custom painting or artwork inspired by the destination or even with their own image. 

Wine, Spirits or local drink
Choose a local bottle of wine or spirits and have the bottle personalized. Know your guests and be sure not to present alcohol to those who might not indulge. A local, authentic, non-alcohol beverage might be suitable for them. 

For guests, when choosing a wedding gift for the couple, remember to consider the destination's culture and the couple's preferences when selecting a gift.
