Cheers! Etsy seller Laserbird engraves custom champagne flutes for your wedding toast. The California-based artist has plenty of designs to choose from, or you can suggest your own to go with your wedding theme. Add your names and wedding date or a special message.

Personalized chopsticks by Etsy seller Laserbird, $1.50 per pair. Available in dark brown or white washed. Minimum order of 12 pairs.

Wouldn’t these chopsticks be a great little favor for a wedding or bridal shower with an Asian-inspired menu? Or, if you’d like some more traditional cutlery…

The Mr. and Mrs. forks by Etsy seller BeachHouseLiving can be used for the couple to feed each other their first bite of wedding cake. (We’re over the smashing cake in each others’ faces anyway, right?) The Happily Ever After spoon could be used on your wedding day and then displayed as décor in your newlywed kitchen.

Letterpress maid of honor notecard by VisualChemist, $3.

Sending someone a card makes any request a little more special. We love these sweet, minimalist notecards by Etsy seller VisualChemist. If you want to make it more personal, you could attach a photo of you and your prospective Maid of Honor, or slip one into an envelope in your future wedding colors.

And of course, if your dear friend fulfills your request to be an attendant, you’ll want to send a thank-you note too.

Even though we spend a fair amount of time on Etsy seeking out the best unique wedding goods, we admit that we often get caught up on all the great ‘little things’ that are available, often overlooking the big-ticket wedding items.

For those who want a vintage or handmade gown, or just something that’s not ‘off the rack’, Etsy is a great source for wedding dresses. L.A.-based TavinShop is one Etsy seller that has a small assortment of beautiful, vintage wedding gowns in great condition.
