Event Giveaway Ideas

Are you planning a wedding, party, or corporate event? One of the highlights of any event is its giveaways—something for the attendees to bring home, a souvenir to remind them of the good times they had during the event.

Several years ago, the popular wedding and party giveaways were figurines of cherubs or little girls in ballet dresses or that of a bride and groom. These days, however, practicality and usability are key in choosing event giveaways. After all, you want your guests to bring home something they’ll use, not something that will gather dirt in a forgotten corner of the room.

If you’re looking for inspiration for fun, memorable giveaways, you’ve come to the right place. See below for our list of event giveaway ideas.

How to Come Up with the Best Giveaway for Your Event

• Match the theme. Whether you’re planning a social event or a corporate one, it’s good to make the giveaway an echo of your event theme. After all, you want the giveaway to be a memorabilia of the event.
• Make it personal. Your event giveaway doesn’t have to be lavish or expensive, but it must be meaningful and special to you and your guests or attendees.
