WeddingsCustom Gift Boxes for Wedding Welcome Bags and Favors
A welcome box left in a guest’s hotel room does more for a wedding weekend’s first impression than almost anything else the couple plans. Getting it right comes down to three decisions: size, color, and timing.
Most welcome boxes run smaller than a full gift box — enough for a local snack, a handwritten note, and one or two small items — while favor boxes at the reception itself are often even more compact. Both benefit from a color-matched ribbon tie or a foil-stamped monogram that echoes the wedding’s palette.
Timing it right
Because wedding dates don’t move, order your welcome boxes a few weeks out to allow for the standard 2-week production window (faster turnaround available with express shipping) plus a buffer for the mockup approval round — and let us know the date up front so we can flag if rush production is needed.
| Use | Typical quantity | Recommended style |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel welcome box | 20–150 | Two-piece lid or ribbon-tie box |
| Reception favor box | 50–300 | Window-lid or collapsible kraft box |
| Bridal party gift | 5–15 | Drawer-style slide box |
| Destination wedding kit | 50–200 | Collapsible kraft box (ships flat) |
