Why choose a wedding gift basket?
For many modern couples, the traditional wedding registry isn’t as relevant as it once was. They may already live together, have most of what they need and prefer experiences to household items. A wedding gift basket offers a thoughtful, flexible alternative that still feels special. Gift baskets are ideal when:
- There’s no registry – a basket can “cover all bases” with a mix of treats and keepsakes the couple may not have thought of
- You’re unsure of their tastes – a well-chosen hamper offers variety, so there’s always something they’re bound to enjoy
- You’re sending from afar – it can be ordered online and delivered directly to their door in perfect condition
- You want to add a personal touch – include a handwritten card or select a personalised option to make it unique.
A wedding gift basket can be both a surprise and a delight, offering the couple little luxuries they can share together in the days after their celebration. With Broadway Basketeers, every basket can be personalised with your own message, so you can send something distinctive without worrying about quality or presentation.
Types of wedding gift baskets
Wedding gift baskets come in many styles, so you can choose something that reflects the couple’s tastes, your budget and the tone of the celebration. A few popular types include:
Honeymoon send-off basket
Perfect for couples heading off straight after the wedding. Include travel-friendly snacks, mini toiletries, a luggage tag set and a small guidebook for their destination.
First anniversary basket
A forward-thinking gift that the couple can save for later: a bottle of wine to age for a year, two engraved glasses and a note encouraging them to open it on their first anniversary.
Cosy movie night basket
Popcorn, artisan hot chocolate, a plush throw and a streaming gift card for a relaxed night in after all the festivities.
Memory-making basket
A beautiful notebook or scrapbook, instant-film camera with film, and decorative pens or stickers so they can record milestones from their married life.
Breakfast-in-bed basket (with a twist)
Beyond the usual coffee and jam: think a personalised mug set, a gourmet pancake kit and a bespoke playlist QR code for a lazy morning soundtrack.
Date night basket
Curate a selection of items for a fun evening at home, such as artisan meats, desserts and perhaps a special bottle of wine or ingredients for a favourite meal.
Wedding gift basket budgets – ideas for every price range
How much you spend on a wedding gift basket will usually depend on your relationship with the couple and your own budget. There’s no fixed rule, but these ranges can help you plan:
- Under $50 – A thoughtful but modest gesture, perfect for colleagues, distant relatives or guest welcome baskets. Think artisan snacks, chocolates, coffee or a small keepsake with a handwritten note
- $50–$100 – A well-stocked basket with a mix of gourmet treats and a centrepiece item, such as sparkling wine, candles or matching mugs. Ideal for friends and extended family
- $100–$200 – A luxury hamper packed with premium foods, wine and personalised items. A popular choice for close friends or family members.
- $200 and up – Bespoke or themed baskets for couples you’re very close to, with high-end items like engraved glassware, speciality wines or a voucher for an experience they can share.
When ordering from Broadway Basketeers, you can filter by price to find something that suits your budget, knowing every basket is kosher certified and beautifully packaged for delivery anywhere in the USA.
Kosher wedding gift baskets
Choosing a kosher wedding gift basket is a simple way to make sure your present can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of dietary or religious requirements. “Kosher” means the food has been prepared in line with Jewish dietary laws and inspected for quality. Even if the couple isn’t Jewish, kosher certification gives extra reassurance about sourcing and preparation standards.
At Broadway Basketeers, every wedding gift basket is kosher certified. That means you can confidently send luxury treats such as chocolates, baked goods and savoury snacks without worrying about restrictions or ingredients. It also makes your basket a thoughtful, inclusive choice for multi-faith weddings or for guests with dietary sensitivities.
If you want something truly special, the Gourmet Extravagant Wine Basket makes an excellent choice. This premium hamper is certified kosher, beautifully packaged and designed to impress.
What to include if you’re making your own wedding gift basket
If you’d prefer to build a basket yourself, think about mixing indulgence, practicality and a personal touch. The best baskets have a little variety and a sense of surprise. Some ideas:
- A centrepiece item – such as a bottle of sparkling wine, a luxury candle or a keepsake they’ll use long after the wedding
- Gourmet treats – artisan chocolates, dried fruits, fine nuts, biscuits or local specialities
- Something to enjoy together – like a board game, a pair of matching mugs or a voucher for a shared experience
- Pampering extras – bath salts, hand creams or spa-style products to help them unwind
- A personal note – a handwritten card with your wishes for their married life
Presentation tips
- Choose a sturdy basket, box or tray that suits the contents and can be reused
- Use tissue paper, shredded paper or fabric to cushion items and create layers
- Group items by colour or theme to make it visually appealing
- Wrap the finished basket in clear cellophane or a decorative box lid, tie with a ribbon and attach your card securely
- If sending by post, ensure breakables are well protected and labelled
Even if you love the idea of creating a basket yourself, it’s worth remembering that presentation and delivery can take time and effort. Ordering from Broadway Basketeers makes things simple: every wedding gift basket beautifully packaged and delivered anywhere in the USA, with the option to add a custom message or personalise your gift. It’s an effortless way to give the couple something special without worrying about sourcing items or wrapping everything yourself.
Wedding gift baskets for guests
Gift baskets aren’t just for the happy couple. Many brides and grooms now like to surprise their friends and family with small hampers as a thank-you for sharing their day. These wedding gift baskets for guests are often placed in hotel rooms, handed out at the reception or sent home as favours. They can look like this Snackers Heaven Gift Set:
Typical inclusions are:
- Welcome treats – bottled water, artisan snacks or mini chocolates for guests staying overnight
- Local touches – products from the wedding area, such as honey, coffee or preserves
- Practical items – a map of the venue, travel-size toiletries or a mini sewing kit
- Keepsakes – a small candle, personalised note or photo from the day to take home
Do people actually want them? In most cases, yes – especially if they’re practical or edible. Guests appreciate feeling thought of, and a well-chosen basket can make them feel welcome, comfortable and included in the celebration. Even simple gestures like a bottle of water, a snack and a handwritten thank-you card can leave a lasting impression. You can often buy snack bundles too, saving money ahead of the big day.
At Broadway Basketeers, every wedding gift basket is kosher certified, beautifully presented and delivered anywhere in the USA. You can even add a personalised message or choose from custom options to make each gift truly unique.
