The Gesture That Will Make Your Guest Smile
Indian weddings have always been a huge part of the country’s culture due to various ceremonies and events that come along. From grand weddings at palaces to beach weddings or simple weddings, each holds a huge place in our hearts. However, there are instances where we only remember a few of them because of certain things. One of them is surely the hospitality we receive there. The way we are taken care of and respected, and sought after is something people always remember.
If you are looking forward to hosting a grand event or marriage, you must focus on a few things that guests usually look for. Here’s a list of things that can make your guests smile at your wedding:
Warmly greet visitors with a smile
First of all, a simple smile is all it takes to make your guests feel welcome and as if you’re delighted to see them. Genuine acknowledgment and genuine smiles can readily lift people’s spirits and make them feel welcome. You may also add a cultural and ethnic flavour to your wedding by sprinkling rose water on your guests’ heads and putting a sandalwood tilak on their foreheads as they arrive.
Phone charging points
People are always looking for a charging spot for their phones, especially when they get the dreaded notice that only 10% of their battery life is left. Take a look at where people charge their phones. For fear of being completely cut off, some participants may leave the event earlier than intended.
Not being able to spread the word about the event via social media. Furthermore, participants who attend the event can share their experiences with total confidence through their social networks, resulting in increased exposure for your event.
Sunglasses to beat the heat
If you are having a day wedding or other functions outdoors, it would be a great idea to offer your guests sunglasses. Sunglasses are very easy to style and will protect their eyes while also making your guests feel that you care about them. You can even opt for custom sunglasses for that extra funky look.
Hangover kits
With functions and weddings come a lot of fun, food, and alcohol. You can’t stop the alcohol and be a buzzkill, but you can take precautions. Get your guests’ hangover kits. These hangover kits have medicine for headaches and nausea and help to prevent anyone from falling sick. Trust us, it will be a blessing to them after a rigorous night!
Umbrella stall at rescue
Outdoor weddings and functions are all great until you have to touch up your makeup every few minutes and you feel wet with all the sweat. Installing umbrella stalls is a lifesaver in such conditions. Umbrella stalls will provide the shade that people prefer during daytime weddings, and you can choose designer stalls to complement the overall look of the event.
Free-size slippers to avoid tired feet
Weddings mean a lot of glam and designer shoes, which are so often not comfortable. The guests are required to rest their tired feet and prepare themselves for the upcoming events. Giving your guests free-size slippers is a smart way to provide them with much-needed comfort while also relieving them of the stress of finding the right size slippers for them.
Shoe valet at a beach wedding
Having a shoe valet at your wedding is sure to make your guests pleased! You can provide a shoe valet for guests during outdoor or seaside weddings if the ground is grassy, muddy, or sandy. This is a spot where people may store their shoes while they dance the night away.
In beach weddings, the sand, the sea, the decor, everything lifts your mood. But the sand is often not the most kind to your designer shoes, which are also heavily prized. Also, the sand that gets stuck on the bases can even lead to a mess at the event venue. Provide your guests with valet boxes, and save yourself from the extra cleaning and them from ruining their expensive designer shoes and sandals.
Set Up a photo booth for instant picture/selfie
In the era of taking thousands of pictures and selfies instantly on their phones, people share a lot of joy in printed photos and selfies. Have a photo booth at the functions, providing them with instant hardcopy photos, or have a setup right at the entrance to capture your guests in their grand entrances. Having polaroid or hardcopy photos of themselves will make their memories special and ensure that they love them!
Table tags for diners for the personalised feels
Table tags at diners serve many purposes. It helps you to have a constant check on who all your guests are and makes it easy to schedule other functions. Having table tags makes it easy for the guests to navigate their way through the halls and also provides them with a sense of importance.
Wooden hands fan
Even with an overall ventilator system, the huge number of guests can defy the cooling in the room to some limit. Providing your guests with a hand fan gives them their personal coolers and also provides an overall vintage look to the event.
You can also keep a welcome bag with snacks and favours in each of your guests’ hotel rooms as a surprise. It would undoubtedly make their stay more enjoyable. Just be sure to include some unique and delectable snacks to satiate their late-night food demands!
