    16. Disposable black and white masks with your initials for the guests, so they can look sleek and on-theme while keeping everyone a little safer.

    17. Botanical confetti for outdoor weddings where traditional confetti is not allowed. It's better for the environment, and of course, way prettier!

    18. Greaseproof food bags so guests can take a slice of the wedding cake home. If you got a many-tiered cake, you're gonna need all the help eating it that you can get!

    19. An instant camera for a way more dynamic guestbook idea. Sure some thoughtful scribbles from distant relatives can be nice, but having a bunch of pictures of your guests having fun is way better.

    20. And some washi tape so your guests can secure the photos safely inside the guestbook! The floral and citrus pattern is wedding-y but still fresh and fun.

    22. Heart-shaped straws to make your cocktails extra sweet.

    23. A card box that looks like A FREAKING CABIN! Can someone call Rick Moranis and see if I can borrow the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids gadget so I can have my honeymoon in there?

    24. A goth garland for people who really wanna play up the whole "until death" part of the vows. We get it, we get it — the bouquet is all black roses, the Grim Reaper is your officiant, "Monster Mash" is your first dance song, you're getting married in your two open graves, etc etc.

    27. Wooden game signs to help point guests in the right direction for some competitive fun. It's not a real wedding until your relatives and in-laws square off in a competitive game of cornhole.

    28. And some glitzy rhinestone charms, because if you're gonna wear Crocs to your wedding, they might as well look the part.
