A Fast-Track Custom Gifting Project for a Spring Wedding at Mystic Seaport

Clients: Allison & Paul
Venue: Mystic Seaport, Mystic, CT
Season: Spring
Stationery: Tulaloo
Planner: Nightingale Events

When Allison and Paul’s wedding weekend was fast approaching, their planner (and one of our longtime clients), Nightingale Events, reached out with a last-minute gifting request. Allison was looking for simple yet elevated wedding welcome bags that would greet her hotel guests with a thoughtful touch.

What made this project so special? From inquiry to execution, it was completed in record time-thanks to a clear vision and seamless collaboration!

What Was Inside Their Wedding Welcome Gifts

Although we can’t show the custom watercolor map and gift tags by local stationery designer Tulaloo, here’s what went into Allison & Paul’s New England-inspired wedding welcome bags:

• Assorted sparkling waters

• A salty snack (Feridies Peanuts)

• A sweet treat (Chocolate covered pretzels)

• Chocolate Chip Cookies

• A personalized welcome note

• Custom gift tags featuring the couple’s wedding monogram

Each bag reflected a minimalist, coastal vibe-perfectly aligned with the couple’s Mystic Seaport venue.

Why Simplicity Works for Wedding Gifts

Not every couple needs the full custom gifting experience. Many are short on time, juggling last-minute to-dos, but still want gifts that feel intentional and aligned with their wedding aesthetic.

That’s why we’ve created a new way to shop pre-curated welcome gifts directly from our wedding gifting collection on our website.

You simply choose:

• Two beverages per gift (sparkling water or still)

• One salty snack

• One sweet snack

• Packaging style (paper gift bag, rigid luxe box, etc.)

All options come with a beautifully designed welcome tag, and we’ll ship them directly to your hotel, venue, or wherever they need to be.

The Perks of Wedding Welcome Gifts

Wedding welcome gifts are more than just thoughtful gestures-they:

• Set the tone for your wedding weekend

• Help guests feel appreciated and cared for

• Offer a sense of place when filled with local goodies

• Create a memorable first impression

Whether your guests are coming from across the country or down the street, receiving a curated gift upon arrival adds an extra layer of hospitality and style to your big day.

Your Options: Pre-Curated or Fully Custom

We’re here for both timelines and visions. If you’re on a tight schedule, our pre-curated welcome gifts are ready to go with just a few clicks. If you’re looking for something highly personalized, our custom gifting services offer full design, sourcing, and delivery support tailored to your celebration.

Pro Tip: Our gifts are ideal for planners, too! If you’re coordinating multiple weddings or events in one season, let us handle the gifting so you can focus on execution.
