THE GIFT OF GIVING
In the spirit of gift-giving season, there's nothing better than going the extra mile to thank your guests. And what better way to show your appreciation than by giving them a thoughtful gift to take home to commemorate your special day?
From custom koozies and guitar picks to sweet treats and sick beats, we love all the creative ways in which our couples have thanked their guests for celebrating with them. It's truly the icing on the cake!

Leslie and Kyle gave their guests a taste of Tennessee with miniature bottles of Music City Sauce. Even more thoughtful? Leslie and Kyle are friends with the creators of the local hot sauce, and we can't think of a better way to share Nashville with their guests.
