Help with phrasing please

[KatlabraD]

Having a small intimate wedding (18 total). Hoping to have an outdoor ceremony in Scotland in April so thought it would be nice to get each couple/family unit a large tartan wool blanket to keep them warm but also as a favor.

Have organised to have these embroidered at a local shop but I’m struggling with what to write. Would like something witty or cute but this is not my forte. Please help

Have came up with something but not sure it works? Open to any ideas TIA 😊

‘For the love you always wrap us in’ The Surnames, wedding Date

I think what you’ve drafted is good. If you’re not sure about it you could always just go for the date. In any case I would aim to keep it short and sweet.

If it's a present for other people will they really want it embroidered with something about you? If you're giving something away it isn't really up to you to try and make them remember it as from a particular event or in the way you want them to.

They probably will anyway without needing your names or any cheesy message on it. I'd just skip the embroidering.

I'd totally avoid a message if you want them to keep it and use it. Maybe just the date!

How about “wrapped in love” and the date?

Wrapped in love. This. Or
Love is a hug in a blanket.

Or something.

Wooly hugs?

This

That's an absolutely gorgeous idea! I'd go with personalised for each couple, and your wedding date. So "E & K (their initials) 18/04/25" I love the wrapped in love but some might find it twee.

I would like the wording - otherwise it's just a random blanket. One would imagine at a wedding of only 18 people, the B&G are dear to all their guests and they will want to remember the happy occasion.

No need to get the blankets as a special favour to them OP - it's a lovely idea.

I would steer clear of twee wording. Maybe just the date and your initials if you must - although embroidery may not show up well against tartan. Unless they sew on a patch of material or something and embroider the patch?

It's true that the embroidery may not show up on tartan. You'd need to choose the colour carefully.

If that's the case you could embroider a wide ribbon to wrap round the blankets that conveys the message you want.

Ribbon idea is brilliant!

Ribbon idea is fabulous!

I got a thin ribbon printed to tie round the handles of a gift bag.

It wasn't dear and there were multiple choices of ribbon colour, type font and font colour. You just specified what you wanted to say up to however many characters they said. Can't remember tbh. Plenty for my purposes though.

You should be able to order a longer bit to go right round a throw if it's not just to tie gift bag handles. You could colour match it to the tartan. Or to the bridal party colours for a wedding or indeed a boy or girl baby colour for a birth.

The phrase I chose just repeated over and over.

I used about 75cm of it to tie up the gift bag. I think I chopped it off and hole punched through the top corner of the greetings card and tied the last 25cm bit through that.

Not sure if it comes in thicker ribbon for to make a bolder statement, but I'd try eBay first as that's where I got it.

It may not be 'fashionable' these days but I still think it's the safest and easiest of online places to use.

People get chuffed when you personalise things.

What a gorgeous idea OP! I like the 'wrapped in love' or 'wrapped up in love' and the date.

If I were an honoured guest at such a small wedding I would treasure a gift and memory of it like that.

The embroidered ribbon is a brilliant idea - best of both worlds that way 🥰

I would go for “ From bride&groom initials “ and the date.

I wouldn't do this because if they subsequently split up neither of them will want the blanket then.
