Tote bags

2/12

Stylish canvas or cotton totes will always be welcome. Just make sure they don't look too wedding-y (I know, ironic), but no one will want to really carry a bag with names that aren't theirs, and dates that don't mean a thing to them. What you can do: have your favourite love quote printed, or each guest's name on it.

Flip flops or foldable flat shoes

10/12

Whether you're having a beach wedding or ballroom reception, stylish flip flops or flat shoes are always good to have - for men in their dress shoes, and ladies in their heels. Do note that you'll have to try to get most (if not all) of your guests' shoe sizes, and ensure your wedding venue is warm enough for them to remove their shoes.
