Something they keep, not something they leave behind.
Wedding Return Gifts
Half the return gifts handed out at Indian weddings are abandoned on the chair. We source from Tamil Nadu artisans and workshops and send you real samples first, so you know exactly what your guest is carrying home.
Wedding return gifts in Tamil Nadu typically cost ₹120 to ₹600 per guest, depending on whether you want a token, a useful object or a keepsake. INAI curates at every level, sends you physical samples before you commit, and delivers counted, packed and labelled to the venue.

How it works
From first call to the day itself.
Budget
You tell us a per-head number and a guest count. We work inside it.
Shortlist
We come back with options at that price, with real photos and sources.
Sample
Physical samples are couriered to you. Nothing is ordered until you hold it.
Deliver
Counted, packed, labelled, 5% spare, at the venue on the morning.
The difference
What makes this different from the quote next to ours.
Physical samples before you commit — competitors show catalogue photos and hope.
A 5% overage on every order, because running out at the door is the real failure mode.
Sourced from Tamil Nadu makers where possible, so the gift has a story worth telling.
Questions
Return Gifts, answered.
Most Tamil Nadu families spend ₹120 to ₹600 per guest. Under ₹150 buys a token such as a brass diya or a seed-paper card. Around ₹300 buys something genuinely useful. Above ₹500 you are into keepsakes — silver-plated items, handloom, or personalised boxes.
Items that survive the drive home and get used: brass or kuthuvilakku diyas, Athangudi tile coasters, handloom napkins, filter coffee sets, palm-leaf boxes, and seed-paper cards. Guests keep objects tied to the region and quietly discard generic plastic keepsakes.
Two hundred pieces for most items, which suits almost every Tamil Nadu wedding. Smaller runs are possible on select handmade items but cost more per piece because the workshop is setting up for a short run.
Allow six weeks for a standard item and ten weeks for anything personalised or handmade. Artisan workshops in Tamil Nadu run small teams and cannot compress a 500-piece order, particularly across the peak muhurtham months.
Yes, on most items — engraving, printing or embossing with names, the wedding date or a monogram. Personalisation adds roughly ₹20 to ₹60 per piece and about two weeks to the production time, so factor it into your ordering date.
