Favors and gifts<\/a> for guests are one of my favorite things about weddings. They give you the perfect opportunity to share your love and gratitude with all your friends and family. With so many options and ideas, however, it can be hard to narrow it down to one item. Thankfully, that’s where the gift lounge comes in! You no longer have to limit your gifts to one item. You can dedicate a whole area, or room (depending on your venue), to gifts for your guests. Best of all, they have the freedom to pick and choose the things they like most.<\/p>\n

Similar to bars beyond cocktails<\/a>, gift lounges are simply a “gift bar” \u2014 and the sky is the limit when it comes to assembling your perfect gift lounge. For instance, you can have gourmet sodas and candy, local goods, handmade or personalized items and even fresh local fruit. With so many local vendors in the area, planning a fun and gorgeous gift lounge couldn’t be easier. Some of our favorites include Chocolate Maven<\/a>, Thirty-One Gifts<\/a>, Pennysmiths Paper<\/a> and American Pie Company<\/a>, just to name a few.<\/p>\n

Take a look at some of their amazing favors and treats!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gift lounges may sound extravagant and intimidating, but if you think about it, we’ve been doing gift lounges for years \u2014 with gift bags! Whether you would like the help of a local professional<\/a> or a completely DIY gift lounge, you can keep it simple, affordable and best of all, creative. Simply allow your guests to assemble their own gift bag, and \u2014 voil\u00e0 \u2014 you have a gift lounge!<\/p>\n
