Bachelorette and Wedding Towels: Welcome Bags and Favors
By The Velocity Wear Team
Bachelorette towels get over a hundred US searches a month, and wedding towel favors are a quiet favorite with planners. For a beach or lake bachelorette, or a destination wedding with a pool, a personalized towel is practical, pretty in photos, and kept long after the weekend.
Our minimum
We make towels in runs of 50 or more per design. That suits large weddings, destination welcome bags and planners ordering for several events. For a group of ten, a personalization shop is the better fit.
Ideas
- Bath sheets in destination wedding welcome bags.
- Hand towels with the couple's monogram and date as favors.
- Embroidered towels for the bridal party.
- Guest room towels for a wedding venue or rented estate.
Design
Monograms, the couple's initials and date, or a destination and year all look elegant. Thread in wedding colors ties it to the day. Check spelling and dates twice.
Size
Bath sheets, about 35 × 71 in, work for beach and pool. Hand towels, about 18 × 30 in, suit favors and pack easily.
Presentation
Roll with ribbon and a tag. Our towels can include customized bags and tags. Tuck into welcome bags with sunscreen, water and a local snack.
Destination logistics
Shipping to a venue abroad or in another state can involve extra time, and international shipments may face duties. Coordinate with the venue, or pack favors in luggage if weight allows.
Timing
Production takes 10 to 15 working days from artwork approval, plus shipping. Aim to have towels in hand at least a month before the wedding.
Mistakes to avoid
- 1Wrong wedding date on the proof.
- 2Script so fine it disappears on terry.
- 3Ordering too late to pack welcome bags calmly.
- 4Forgetting the weight of 60 bath sheets in luggage.
Quick checklist before you order
- Fifty or more recipients?
- Bath sheets or hand towels?
- Monogram, date, destination?
- Thread in wedding colors?
- In hand a month before?
Lake house and beach house weekends
Bachelorette weekends at rented lake and beach houses are huge. The rental may provide bath towels, but guests often need beach or dock towels. A bath sheet with the bride's new monogram or the weekend's destination and date is useful all weekend and becomes a souvenir. Pack them in each guest's welcome bag with sunscreen and a drink koozie.
Destination wedding welcome bags
Welcome bags for destination weddings often include local snacks, water, a schedule and something useful. A towel is one of the few items guests use immediately at a resort pool or beach. Keep the design elegant: the couple's initials, the date and perhaps the location in fine lettering.
Bridal party gifts
A monogrammed towel set for bridesmaids or groomsmen is practical and lasting. Pair with a robe for the bridal party getting ready on the morning of the wedding. Towels photograph beautifully in getting-ready photos laid out on a bed.
Choosing colors
White and cream feel bridal. Soft blush, sage or dusty blue can match a wedding palette. For beach use, navy or aqua hide sand and sunscreen better than white. Thread in a metallic-look gold or champagne adds a celebratory touch.
Planner and venue orders
Wedding planners working with the same resort or venue repeatedly sometimes order towels with a venue-neutral design, like a simple Just Married or Celebrate monogram, to use across several weddings. It spreads the 50-piece minimum across multiple events.
