Wedding Welcome Hampers for Guests

Most of a welcome hamper is left in the hotel room. What survives the checkout bin, what we can put in one, and the two things we cannot do for you.

Start with the honest part: we do not assemble hampers. We do not source baskets, we do not pack them, and we do not do the logistics of getting one into a hundred hotel rooms.

What we make is the one thing in a welcome hamper that guests take home, which is worth knowing before you plan the rest of it.

What actually leaves the room

Anyone who has helped clear up after a wedding has seen the same thing: the snacks go, the water goes, and a good proportion of everything else stays on the desk when guests check out.

Usually taken home Usually left behind
Food and drink The basket itself
Anything flat that fits a bag Candles, décor, branded mugs
The schedule card, if it is good Anything bulky
Something printed with the guests in it Anything with only the couple’s names on it

The pattern is flat, light, and about the person holding it. That is the whole test.

What we can contribute

Print packs, from ₹270 for thirty. Split across a table of guests, or given whole per family. The obvious version: photographs of the people who are actually at the wedding.

Short magazines, ₹499 for 8 pages — a story of the couple, or of the place everyone has flown to. Fits a bag flat.

Card decks, ₹999 for 27 cards, for a smaller wedding where each room gets a real object rather than a token.

Flat ₹70 delivery per order, anywhere in India.

The two things we cannot do

We do not assemble or pack the hamper. You get printed pieces, boxed and delivered to one address. Getting them into baskets and into rooms is the hotel’s job or the planner’s.

We do not print per-guest names at hamper quantities. A hundred individually named pieces is a hundred designs, not one design printed a hundred times, and it costs accordingly. One design for everyone is what makes this affordable. Group gifting maths →

What it costs at scale

Guests Print packs at ₹270 8-page magazines at ₹499
30 rooms ₹8,100 ₹14,970
60 rooms ₹16,200 ₹29,940
100 rooms ₹27,000 ₹49,900

At a hundred rooms this is a real line item, so it is worth deciding whether every room needs one or only the rooms of people who travelled.

One design, or two

The only personalisation worth paying for at hamper scale is a split by guest type, not by guest.

Two designs covers almost every wedding: one for people who travelled and one for local guests, or one for the bride’s side and one for the groom’s. That is two designs printed fifty times each, which is affordable, rather than a hundred printed once, which is not.

Anything finer than that is being noticed by nobody and paid for by you.

Timing, which hampers get wrong

Everything has to be in one place before check-in, and check-in is usually two days before the wedding. That is the deadline, not the wedding date, and people routinely plan against the wrong one.

5 to 14 days from order to doorstep, 5 to 12 to Delhi NCR, dispatched every Monday. Order against check-in and add a week of slack. Ordering for a fixed date →

When to skip it entirely

A local wedding where nobody is staying in a hotel does not need welcome hampers, and the budget goes further as one good thing for the people who travelled. Hotel and hospitality guest gifting →

Frequently asked

What goes in a wedding welcome hamper? Food, water, the schedule, and one flat thing worth taking home. Bulky items are what gets left in the room.

Do you make welcome hampers? We make printed pieces to go in one. We do not source baskets, pack them, or deliver to rooms.

Can each hamper be personalised for that guest? Not at hamper quantities — a hundred names is a hundred designs. One design printed a hundred times is what keeps it affordable.

How much does a welcome hamper cost per room? Our part is ₹270 to ₹999 a room depending on what you choose. The rest depends on what else goes in.

When do welcome hampers need to be ready? Two days before the wedding, when guests check in — not the wedding day. That is the deadline people miss.
