Innovative Wedding Return gift Ideas

Return gifts or Party favors have become so much necessary...they have been a tradition in Indian celebrations from ages, however,  typically, blouse pieces, ' Pasupu-Kumkuma' , fruits and flowers, some religious books were considered return gifts, but Modern life has changed things....along with the above things, a special item if included- is only considered as a return gift. Be it a wedding in any religion, a child's Birthday party, a Silver Jubilee wedding or a 60th Birthday, party favors are essential.

We need not trouble our time or purchasing ability by buying the same items everyone does, there is always a chance to be creative. Think of party favors like small plants based on the climatic conditions, shawls or scarfs if its a cold region, small retractable umbrellas if its a rainy or hot region, eco-friendly reusable shopping bags or bamboo lunch boxes if you are an earth-friendly person and if you would like to spread good deeds, any handmade decorative items sold by an NGO or a social- upliftment group that you want to support, good self-help books on childcare, safe pregnancy and relative topics if it is for a BabyShower party based on the age groups and backgrounds of Ladies attending, Toy organisation Boxes, Bedtime story books that are helpful to parents and interesting to kids if its for a Birthday party, Medicine organisers, personal massagers, or Yoga mats if its for a Silver jubilee wedding anniversary or 60th birthday 'Super Annuation' party, vegetable choppers, or small home appliances if its a wedding....

.

Party favors dont come so cheap, one has to spend a fair amount of money to buy a reliable piece...then why not invest in better, really useful ideas, so that people dont hand your party favors to someone else in another party.....i am against that silly act.....infact, its a good habit to tell someone how useful their Party favor/return gift was if you are sincerely using it...otherwise, you can stay silent if you didnt like it much. Party favors are your status symbols, so dont take them too easy!!
