The Stress-Free Timeline: When to Order Bulk Wedding Return Gifts
A simple guide to ensuring your handmade favors arrive perfectly on time.
You have booked the venue and chosen the outfits. But what about the Return Gifts (Thamboolam)? It is often the last thing on the list, leading to last-minute panic buying of generic plastic items.
At Kavyatva, we believe your return gift should be as memorable as your wedding. But because our gifts—like hand-woven River Grass Baskets or Kalamkari Potlis—are crafted by artisans and not machines, they need a little extra time.
Want to avoid the stress? Follow this simple timeline to guarantee unique, eco-friendly gifts for all your guests.
Your Bulk Ordering Guide
Step 1: Explore & Sample
This is the fun part! Decide the "vibe" of your gift. Are you going for a traditional look or a modern eco-chic feel?
- Browse the Collection: Look through our Trunk Boxes, Potlis, and Baskets to see what catches your eye.
- Get a Feel for It: Don't just look at pictures. Order 1 or 2 samples to feel the quality and see the actual size in person.
- Fix Your Budget: Know how much you want to spend per guest. Bulk orders get better pricing!
Step 2: Finalize & Lock It In
This is the most crucial window. Since our products support rural Indian artisans, we need lead time to gather materials, weave, stitch, and print your specific order.
- Pick Your Colors: Decide on your final mix (e.g., 100 Red Potlis, 100 Blue Potlis).
- Confirm the Count: Always order 10% extra. Indian weddings always have unexpected guests!
- Place the Deposit: Locking in your order now secures the raw materials and artisan time slots.
Step 3: Relax & Receive
While you are busy with pre-wedding events, our team is busy finishing, quality-checking, and packing your order. By ordering early, you avoid festival shipping delays.
- Quality Check: We ensure every piece meets our high standards (no loose threads, perfect prints).
- Secure Shipping: We dispatch your bulk order via trusted couriers so it arrives safely at your doorstep before the big day.
Why Does Handmade Take Longer?
Unlike factory-made goods that are sitting in a warehouse, Kavyatva products are created with care. When you order a River Grass Basket, a weaver is crafting it specifically for you. Ordering early respects their craft and ensures you get a flawless product without the rush.
