The favor that goes home in a handbag

Favors tend to get left on the table. A silk scarf gets tied on a bag before the first dance and worn long after. Here is what couples order from us.

Favors for every guest33 x 33 cm (13 x 13 in) pocket square
Your first names and the date in the border, one at each place setting, folded into a printed envelope. At one June wedding the guests had them tied on handbags, in their hair and on their phones.
Welcome bags55 x 55 cm (22 x 22 in) neckerchief
The size guests wear all weekend, as a neck scarf, a headband or tied to a bag. Printed with the place and the dates of the weekend, it is the piece of the welcome bag that leaves with them.
Invitations on silkYour artwork, or one of our designs
The invitation itself, printed on silk and mailed in place of paper. Send the artwork from your suite, or personalize our Lago di Como scarf with your own text. This is where By Biehle began.
Save the datesYour artwork, or one of our designs
The first thing your guests receive from you. An envelope that is soft instead of stiff, your names and the date printed on silk, and a scarf they are wearing months before the wedding.
Thank yous after the weddingAfter the wedding, or on your first anniversary
It arrives weeks after the last guest has gone home, when nobody is expecting anything else from you. One couple came to us too late for the invitation, so the scarf went out after the wedding instead, as a thank you to every guest.

Your names in the border

Start from one of our designs and personalize it, or send the artwork from your invitation suite. Most couples put their first names, the wedding date and the place in the border, sometimes a monogram in one corner. Shorter reads better on silk and gives the design room to breathe.

You send a print-ready PDF or PSD at the finished size. We check every file for print quality and make small production adjustments where needed, then you approve a finished sample in your hands before we make the run. We do not create original artwork from scratch. For fully bespoke design, we recommend Ceci New York.

Sizes and pricing for a wedding

SizeMinimumPer piece
33 × 33 cm13 × 13 in · pocket square50 pieces$35
55 × 55 cm22 × 22 in · neckerchief50 pieces$60

Organic silk twill, per piece. Hand-rolled edges and free worldwide shipping included, customs and duties covered for Europe and the USA. Other silks and larger sizes are priced on our custom silk scarves page.

The maths for fifty guests

Fifty pocket squares come to $1,750.

That is fifty pieces at $35, printed with your names and finished by hand. Add a printed envelope for each at $4 and the favors for the whole wedding come to $1,950, delivered. The 55 x 55 cm neckerchief at $60 is the step up, $3,000 for fifty. A handmade gift box with silk paper is $11.45 per piece if you would rather they open something.

Fifty is the minimum for both sizes, and it is a real one, because every run is set up and color-mixed for your design. Fewer than fifty guests? The Lago di Como scarf can be personalized with your own text one piece at a time, and our collection ships single pieces within the United States.

Sixty-nine pocket squares for a June wedding

Bloom Wedding & Events ordered a pocket square for every guest in organic silk twill, each one in a handmade gift box with a gold ribbon, as the favor at a June wedding.

The scarves were so well received, and everybody was enthusiastic. It was a brilliant gift.

Fifty invitations on silk for the French Riviera

Ashlyn DeNeui Lyle mailed her wedding invitations on silk, fifty of them, for a June weekend on the French Riviera. She approved a finished sample first, then the full run went out from Como in February so the invitations were with her guests months ahead.

Questions couples ask

How many do we need to order?

The minimum is fifty pieces for the 33 x 33 cm (13 x 13 in) pocket square and for the 55 x 55 cm (22 x 22 in) neckerchief. Every run is set up and color-mixed for your design, which is what the minimum covers. For fewer than fifty guests, the Lago di Como scarf can be personalized one piece at a time and our collection ships single pieces within the United States.

How far ahead should we order?

Once your final print-ready artwork is approved, production takes five to six weeks including delivery. An optional finished sample takes three to four weeks including shipping. Production pauses each August. Most couples order about three months before the wedding. Send us your date and we will confirm what is feasible.

We have already sent our invitations. Is it too late?

No. Couples who come to us after the invitations have gone out usually send the scarf afterward instead, as a thank you to every guest, or a year later as a first anniversary keepsake. The minimum and the timeline are the same as for any other run.

What do couples put on the scarf?

Most couples include their first names, the wedding date and the place. For an invitation, the RSVP date and the dress code often join them. Keep it short. Fewer words read better on silk and give the design more room to breathe.

Can we use our invitation artwork?

Yes. Send a print-ready PDF or PSD at the finished scarf size, ideally 300 dpi. We check every file for print quality and make small production adjustments where needed. We do not create original artwork from scratch. For fully bespoke design, we recommend Ceci New York.

What does a silk wedding favor cost?

In organic silk twill, the 33 x 33 cm (13 x 13 in) pocket square is $35 per piece and the 55 x 55 cm (22 x 22 in) neckerchief is $60. Both include hand-rolled edges and free worldwide shipping. A printed envelope adds $4 per piece, an envelope with ribbon $5.50, and a handmade gift box with silk paper $11.45. Fifty pocket squares in printed envelopes come to $1,950.

Can you ship to our venue, or to two addresses?

Yes. Custom orders ship free worldwide, with customs and duties covered for Europe and the United States and handled case by case elsewhere. We can split an order between two addresses for $180, free once you order twice the minimum.

Thank you for making our weekend a little extra beautiful. I haven’t stopped wearing the scarf, and we’re having one framed at home.
