Wedding trends come and go, but experiences last forever. Letterbox cocktails represent a shift towards meaningful gifts that create memories rather than clutter. They're practical, personal, and perfectly suited to modern life. As couples seek unique wedding ideas that reflect their personalities, experiential favours will continue growing in popularity. The question isn't whether this trend will last, it's whether you'll be part of it. Your wedding should be memorable for all the right reasons. Choose favours that give your guests something worth celebrating long after the last dance ends, or gifts to announce your wedding that will cause excitement well ahead of the day itself. Nothing says ‘save the date’ like a cocktail through the post. Wedding cocktails can be used to create a table plan – give everyone a bottle with the table number on instead of a standard table plan. Looks amazing and gives everyone their first drink tailored to their preferences.   Cocktails can also be part of the early celebrations. Use them to ask your best friends to be a bridesmaid or best man. Or create a ‘save the date’ video and toast each other with a personalised cocktail.  Whatever you are thinking for your wedding, Letterbox Cocktails can give you a personalised solution to make the planning and day the most special experience of your life.

Everyone loves champagne, but what about a favour that truly pops? Wedding planning feels endless. You've sorted the venue, the flowers, the dress, and now you're staring at a list of potential wedding favours that all look the same. Sugared almonds, personalised candles, mini picture frames – they're nice enough, but will your guests actually use them?

Flowers wilt. Chocolates melt. Wine’s a bit... expected. But cocktails? Cocktails feel like a moment. They arrive beautifully boxed, ready to pour, and instantly lift the mood. Whether it’s a big celebration or a thoughtful surprise, cocktails by post are the new go-to for gifts that actually get remembered.

At Letterbox Cocktails, our mission has always been simple: to redefine the home cocktail experience. Whether you're raising a glass at a wedding, treating yourself after a long week, or sending a thoughtful gift, we believe every moment is worth celebrating - and we’re here to help you do it in style.

Just because we’re not all huddled around the same table doesn’t mean we can’t raise a glass together. Virtual socials might not be quite as novel as they once were, but they’re still a brilliant way to connect—whether it's with far-flung friends, teammates at home, or family spread across postcodes. And with Letterbox Cocktails, hosting is as smooth as the drinks themselves.

At Letterbox Cocktails, we care deeply about what goes into your glass. But just as important is how it gets to you. In a world where convenience and quality are no longer enough, sustainability has become a non-negotiable—and rightly so. Traditional cocktail-making can be surprisingly wasteful. Think about it: half-used bottles of syrup, a mountain of plastic straws, and bits of fruit that get sliced, squeezed, and then binned. It adds up fast. We knew there had to be a better way to enjoy bar-quality drinks without the environmental baggage. That’s why we’ve designed our packaging to be as thoughtful as the cocktails themselves. Everything we send is made to fit neatly through your letterbox—no excessive wrapping, no unnecessary plastic. Just what you need, and nothing you don’t. It’s fully recyclable, lightweight, and intentionally minimal. And let’s talk bottles. We use fully-recyclable bottles shaped to feel special, and can be reused or recycled without guilt. From an environmental perspective, it’s a no-brainer. From a taste perspective, it’s simply the right choice. And when it comes to gifting, pre-batched cocktails offer a green-hearted alternative to flowers or wine. No wrapping, no cellophane, just beautifully boxed drinks that say “I thought of you” without the waste. So if you’re looking to enjoy your cocktail hour with a clearer conscience, you’re in good hands. Choose drinks that taste good and do good. Explore our range—sustainable sipping starts here.

Let’s be honest—even the most enthusiastic home bartender has botched a cocktail or two. You start off with good intentions, maybe even a little flair. Then suddenly you’re Googling ratios, rummaging for a lemon you definitely don’t have, and trying to remember if you’re meant to shake or stir.

It’s true what they say, we eat and drink with our eyes first. A great garnish doesn’t just look pretty—it sets the tone, adds aroma, and tells your guest (or yourself) that yes, this moment is worth making a little extra effort for.
