Custom Masks for Wedding

Kaylen, on August 27, 2021 at 9:34 PM Posted in Planning 0 9
My mom has stated that she wants custom masks with our names and wedding date on them for guests and said that they would make a great keepsake for us but I don’t want them and don’t feel like I need a keepsake of having a wedding during a pandemic. If my fiancé and I have to wear masks they will match our attire and most of our guests will already come with their own if they need to wear them.


Has anyone had these at their wedding? Did they get used? Did they feel tacky at all?

    We got bridesmaids masks for a wedding I was in last October. Honestly, they were a waste of money. We only wore them for pictures for the shower and then never wore them again, even for the wedding.
    I don’t think it would be tacky, and maybe if all of the guests had them they might get worn. But I’d honestly save your money for something you would actually want.

    As a guest I wouldn’t wear again a mask that had someone else’s name and wedding date on it.
    As a bride, I think it’s distracting to have a mask with writing on it and much better to wear a more plain mask that matches your outfit!
    So I don’t think it’s tacky, but just useless.

    I'd feel weird wearing a mask that has someone else's names and wedding date on it. I'd also feel weird knowing that my name and wedding date is being displayed on someone else's face at any time. Isn't that the kind of info that hackers want to know to guess your password?


    Plain masks make a good wedding favor. But don't brand them.

    My mom made masks with the bridal color scheme for my daughter's wedding. They were a huge hit! There were no names embroidered on them--I admit that would be odd.

    I agree with PPs. It would be weird to have your names and the date on them and distracting in any photos. If you want to provide masks, just go with something simple that doesn't stand out.

    I had costumed made masks for my wedding with our initials on them and the wedding year. We didn’t want to add the date just in case we couldn’t keep it. We gave those to our guests and we had masks for our wedding party to match the color scheme. No one ended up using them but kept them for souvenirs.

    I actually checked into this because I thought about getting disposable ones for the wedding day. Just in case anyone forgot theirs or wanted to wear one. But they’re expensive!!

    They are a waste of money. Any favor you buy for guests that are customized with your name wedding date or picture are a waste of money. They will either get left behind or thrown away. Nobody but you, your husband, his parents and your parents may keep them as a keepsake. Everyone else will use them once and either throw them away or leave them behind. We got a big box of one time use masks for our guests.

    I agree with everyone else that this is not a good idea because no one will want a mask as a keepsake, and it will be an expensive waste of money. But honestly, all that matters is that YOU don't want them. Just because your mom is making suggestions doesn't mean you have to take them. Just thank her for the idea, tell her you aren't interested, and change the subject.
