Custom 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 at least four to five weeks out to allow for the standard 2–3 week production window 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) |
