In 2020, weddings, as well as people, took to hiding behind a mask—literally.
Now, a year later, face masks are de rigeur just about everywhere, but particularly at any non-family gathering of more than 6 people.
With bride and groom and officiant masked, it makes a logical and sensible idea to gift the wedding face masks as a reception favor or in a welcome gift bag, especially if there is more than one event, say, over a weekend of dinners, barbeques, brunches and the like before the actual ceremony.
Brides are cleverly weaving in their wedding color scheme as well as the design theme and even adding a personalized monogram of the soon-to-be married couple.
Print-on-demand sites effortlessly allow creative brides to craft their own design or use other designer’s artwork that aligns with their sensibilities, picking out any variety of colors, textures and graphic designs to have printed on the fabric covering of the mask.
If the wedding theme is rustic and the ceremony is to be held in a barn or in a meadow, there is even scope to mimic roughly woven fabrics like natural burlap, but in a photo-effect finish, so it achieves the appearance but not the scratchiness of a feed sack!
If a more glam look is desired there are even fake glitter and rhinestone effects in every color of the real sparkles, without the grit or heft involved of metal on the skin. Velvety finishes and smoother satin textures can also be printed onto the face covering fabrics. Ombre shades and even faux metallic foil effects can also provide sheen and shine as a photo finish to fabrics.
For an understated and classic theme, a beautifully scripted calligraphic monogram of the wedding couple’s intertwined initials against the chosen accent colors of the wedding party is elegant on face masks as it gives another uniform look to the already polished wedding party attire.
