Destination weddings are like mini vacations for traveling guests—and don't the best vacations involve souvenirs? When it comes to faraway celebrations, guests probably have to put in extra work to attend. In turn, they deserve a reward for their troubles. Thematic, standout thank-you gifts are a great way to show your gratitude. If you're in the market for ideas, we've got the gallery for you. Whether you're marrying out-of-state, out-of-country, or out-of-continent, these destination wedding favor ideas are here to inspire.

For truly memorable favors, choose items that are related to your wedding's location, whether they were made there, represent the destination's culture or scenery, or help celebrants enjoy the locale while in town. That might mean handcrafted Mexican blankets, potted cacti for a desert wedding, or sunglasses for a beachside event—all of which are on the slides ahead. Alternatively, you can opt for goods that are related to travel more broadly. These blue luggage tags are the perfect example. The bride and groom packaged them in muslin bags tied with Froufrou Chic ribbon for their Bali event by the sea.

For more unique and useful ideas, click through the rest of our slideshow. We're here to show you exactly how to nod to your location with your goodbye (or welcome!) gifts. Whether you're city-hopping stateside to tie the knot or bringing your nuptials abroad, you can't go wrong with destination-themed wedding favors like these. They're bound to be the best vacation memorabilia your attendees have ever taken home.
