7. PERSONALIZED GIFT GIVING

"Impersonal favors are a thing of the past" says Callista of Callista & Company… "I see intentional gift giving as a big trend for 2019. Brides and grooms want to give back to their guests before, during, and after the wedding with personalized favors and gifts, so we're finding unique ways to thoughtfully customize the guest experience. Consider sharing a special wedding weekend playlist along with local, artisanal treats in your guest welcome bag or box. We love to personalize wedding day components whenever possible, such as adding calligraphy guest names to each menu at the dinner table or sending guests back to their hotels with a mini-cake with their name on it. After the wedding, mailing each guest a curated set of printed photos can be a beautiful way to share images from your big day."

All such amazing and thoughtful ideas! We've always felt that the more personalized the wedding, the better!
