Publish Your Own Wedding Thank You Gifts Catalogue

After the stress and anxiety associated with planning a wedding is gone, a new bride and groom turn their attention to thanking friends and families for gifts received and support they’ve been given. 

And your business is one of helping them find the perfect thank you gifts for their loved ones. You will do that by creating a catalogue filled with products from which the couple can choose gifts for their closest family members and friends.   You can arrange to order and deliver goods direct, or take a commission on sales made at your site while allowing product owners to dropship goods to your clients.

Choosing gifts that can be dropshipped will save you a lot of work, leaving you with little else to do but create a web site or printed catalogue for displaying the gifts. As you are launching your business, you will likely want to keep overhead costs to a minimum, so you will probably want to start with an online catalogue rather than a more expensive printed one.  Then when your business grows, you might follow up with a printed catalogue, but only if the extra costs justify additional profits achieved.

Remember that some brides like to give personalised gifts to suit individual bridesmaids, also the best man and other helpers, such as jewellery featuring their individual birthstones. Other brides prefer buying one specific type of thank you gift to suit all of her wedding party. The same goes for grooms deciding on gifts for their best man and groomsmen.

Bear in mind the immediate wedding party are not the only people likely to receive thank you gifts from the happy couple. Often parents, aunts, uncles, or other relatives that were instrumental in planning the wedding are given gifts also. This is also true of special friends who helped organise the wedding, or who supported the couple emotionally and financially in planning and executing a complicated or expensive wedding.   

The more personalised the thank you gift, the more likely it will be cherished as a wonderful keepsake that reminds the recipient of the special time they spent with the bride and groom.

And that means you should consider allowing your catalogue readers to order personalised or boutique style gifts and thank you cards, also stationery, onto which the couple add specific thank you messages. Personalise paper goods like this can be difficult for consumers to locate but they are highly sought after, since they show the giver spent time and effort finding something uniquely special.  

Here is a short list of items to consider for your wedding 'thank you catalogue'. I'm sure that with a little brainstorming, you will likely come up with many more product ideas of your own.
