Planning a destination wedding and looking for creative gift ideas for your wedding party? Lean into the spirit of adventure by creating travel-themed gift sets that reflect your unique journey — and theirs. Whether you're tying the knot in Santorini, Bora Bora, or Edinburgh, travel-themed gifts are a natural fit that celebrate both the location and the loved ones who came along for the ride.
YHM Designs’ vintage baggage tag coffee mugs and matching decor products offer a stylish and meaningful foundation for your gift sets — with airport code designs that honour your destination and your guests’ travel stories.
Why Choose a Travel Theme?
When your wedding is already an international adventure, a travel theme makes perfect sense. It:
- Highlights the destination — Capture the spirit of the place that brought everyone together.
- Celebrates the journey — Recognize the effort your friends made to travel and support you.
- Makes for memorable keepsakes — Give gifts that are not just beautiful, but also meaningful and useful.
- Unifies your wedding aesthetic — From stationery to décor to gifts, a cohesive theme elevates the experience.
Start with a Signature Mug
YHM Designs’ airport code mugs are the perfect anchor for your gift sets. Each mug features a vintage baggage tag design and the three-letter airport code of your chosen location — available for hundreds of destinations worldwide.
For example:
- JMK — Santorini
- BOB — Bora Bora
- EDI or INV — Edinburgh or Inverness
- FLR — Florence / Tuscany
- CUN — Cancun
- SJD — Los Cabos
Include a mug featuring the wedding destination for each bridesmaid or groomsman, or personalize it further by featuring their home airport code instead — a thoughtful nod to their journey to be by your side.
What to Include in Your Travel-Themed Gift Sets
Once you’ve chosen the mug, build around it with travel-inspired items that fit your aesthetic and your guests’ personalities. Here are some great additions:
1. Local Coffee or Tea
Pair the mug with a sample of locally-roasted coffee or herbal tea from your destination — a way to give your guests a taste of the place.
2. Luggage Tags
Personalized or monogrammed luggage tags are a fun and functional addition to a travel-themed set.
3. YHM Designs Throw Pillow
Upgrade the gift for a close friend, sibling, or best man/maid of honour with a matching throw pillow featuring the same airport code design. It’s a beautiful piece of travel-themed decor that will always remind them of your big day.
4. Compact Toiletry Bag or Travel Pouch
A versatile and practical gift for destination weddings — choose one that matches your wedding colour palette or theme.
5. Travel Journal
Encourage your bridesmaids and groomsmen to document their travels — especially if your wedding is part of a longer trip.
6. Sunglasses or Eye Masks
Great for tropical or beach locations like Cancun, Los Cabos, or Mykonos, these items add a bit of fun and function.
Packaging & Presentation Tips
- Use a box or tote bag that matches your wedding vibe — woven baskets for the beach, kraft boxes for rustic themes, or clear pouches for modern elegance.
- Add a handwritten note — A simple thank-you message from you and your partner makes the gift more personal.
- Keep it travel-ready — Choose items that are lightweight and packable so guests can get them home easily.
- Coordinate colours and textures — A mix of neutral tones with a pop of your wedding colour will look polished and intentional.
