T-shirts for weddings
No, not those rather tacky things that seem to be particularly popular with American newlyweds, the ones that say ‘just married’ and a date (as if strangers could find a way to care, and as if family and friends didn’t already know!) but T-shirts for the invitees and participants.
Wedding favours are a hassle for everyone, and perhaps the simplest way to deal with the issue is to find a sympathetic T-shirt printer and get them to help you organise a printing for everyone. The participants: bridesmaids, ushers, and ring-bearers etc if you have them, can have a personalised top that bears their name and their role in the wedding. If your parents are good sports, give them Mother of the Bride etc T-shirts too, but be sure they’ll appreciate the joke – it can fall flat at the reception if they were expecting something a little more upmarket. The guests can have a generic T-shirt and some popular choices are:
-
Friend of Bride/Groom
-
Team Bride/Groom
-
Wedding Party!
-
Wedding Crasher (like the film, but not everybody gets it, so be sure you tell any bar staff etc that the T-shirts come from you, or you may find guests who pull their favours on immediately getting ejected from the establishment!)
And a big hit last year was the happy couple’s initials turned into a monogram, it was seen at Surrey wedding parties as if it was obligatory.
