In a city of grand celebrations like Dubai, wedding favours (kosha gifts or "mementoes") are often elaborate, but sadly, many end up left on the table at the end of the night. Candles get used once, and generic trinkets often collect dust.
If you want your wedding gift to stand out,
it needs to transition from a "wedding favour" to a "lifestyle
keepsake." At Who’s M, we specialise in creating high-quality, personalised wedding gifts that blend seamlessly into your guests' homes long after the
Burj Al Arab fireworks have faded.
What Makes a Wedding Gift Worth Keeping?
The secret to a successful wedding favour is "Subtle Luxury." Guests keep gifts that are:
- Functional: They serve a daily purpose.
- Intentionally Personal: They feature elegant, minimal engraving rather than loud, dated text.
- High-Quality: They are made from
premium materials like hardwood, marble, or slate.
Top Wedding Keepsake Ideas for Dubai Couples
1. Bespoke Wooden Coasters
Coasters are the ultimate practical gift. At our Dubai studio, we engrave high-quality wooden coasters with minimalist initials or a geometric motif that matches your wedding theme. Because they are useful and stylish, guests will actually use them in their living rooms.
2. Engraved Serving Pieces & Cheese Knives
For your bridal party or close family, consider something more substantial. A hand-engraved cheese knife or a small olive wood serving board feels incredibly premium. It doesn't shout "Wedding Gift"—it whispers it every time they host a dinner party.
3. Minimalist Keychains
A wooden or leather keychain engraved with a single meaningful word or the coordinates of your wedding venue is a gift that travels with your guests every day. It’s a small, intimate reminder of a beautiful day in the UAE.
4. Custom Memory Boxes
These are perfect for the "Inner
Circle." A bespoke wooden memory box featuring the couple's
monogram can be used by guests to store their own jewelry, watches, or
keepsakes.
The Secret to Personalisation: "Less is More"
The biggest mistake couples make is engraving their full names and the date in large font across the entire product. To make a gift feel truly premium and "keepable," try these subtle ideas:
- Coordinates: The latitude and longitude of your ceremony location.
- Initials only: A sleek, modern monogram.
- A Single Icon: A small palm tree, a protea, or a simple heart.
- The "Under-side" Engraving: Place the date and names on the bottom of a board or the back
of a keychain so the front remains a piece of art.
