Think about it: wouldn't you smile a little wider when you receive a mithai box with your name elegantly printed on it? Or a beautiful design that matches the theme of your celebration? That's the charm of personalisation. It transforms a simple gift into a keepsake that tells your recipient, ‘I put thought into this just for you.’

Personalised mithai boxes aren't just containers—they're the first impression of your gift and an extension of your feelings. They create those ‘wow’ moments when your friends and family unwrap them, making your gesture memorable long after the sweets are gone.

Custom Mithai Boxes for Every Indian Occasion

Creating custom mithai boxes for special moments isn't just about packaging treats—it's about capturing the essence of the occasion itself. Let's explore how to craft beautiful mithai boxes for those milestone moments.

Save The Date & Wedding Invitations

A wedding invitation should be as magnificent as the celebration it announces. Create your own royal mithai box invitation with these steps:

1. Select your canvas: Find a flat, rectangular wooden box with a hinged lid from a craft store. Choose one about 8×6 inches—perfect for holding sweets and a card.

2. Give it the golden touch: Spray the box with gold or silver paint. Apply 2-3 light coats rather than one heavy coat for an elegant finish. 

3. Create a luxurious lining: Cut a piece of silk fabric in the wedding colours about 2 inches larger than the base on all sides. Secure it with fabric glue.

4. Arrange the sweet messengers: Place kaju katli or pista barfi in neat diagonal rows, alternating colours if using varieties. 

5. Add the details: Print wedding details using a beautiful font. Sprinkle a few rose petals or silver dragees between the sweets.

6. Finish with a flourish: Tie a silk ribbon in the wedding colour around the box, securing it with a bow on top. Attach a small silver or gold charm that represents the couple.

For those whose artistic vision exceeds their crafting time, Mewaz offers exquisite ‘Save The Date’ boxes featuring assorted dry fruit mithai that can be personalised with the couple's names and important dates. 

Roka or Gol Dhana

This sweet ceremony deserves a box that symbolises the endless journey of love beginning with this first official step:

1. Begin with circles: Find a sturdy round cookie tin (about 10 inches in diameter) to represent the unending circle of love.

2. Wrap it in tradition: Cut a piece of red or pink silk fabric to cover the entire exterior. Secure it with fabric glue, folding the edges inside the lid for a clean finish.

3. Add the golden pathway: Glue golden ribbon or lace around the edges of both the box and lid, representing the auspicious path ahead.

4. Create the symbol: In a mixing bowl, combine traditional gol dhana (½ cup jaggery broken into small pieces and ¼ cup coriander seeds) with 1 cup of almonds. The sweetness of jaggery represents the sweet journey ahead.

5. Add sparkle: Attach tiny mirrors or sequins to the lid in a traditional circular pattern using fabric glue, allowing them to dry completely.

6. Final flourish: Sprinkle a few rose petals over the mixture before closing the box, and tie with a red or gold tassel for that extra festive touch.

When the excitement of preparations leaves little time for crafting, Mewaz's Roka gift boxes offer a beautiful alternative with their specially prepared Gol Dhana Almonds and delightful Gulab Gulkand Rochers.

Haldi Celebration

Bring sunshine to the pre-wedding Haldi ceremony with a vibrant yellow mithai box that captures the energy and joy of this colourful ritual:

1. Choose your container: Select a square box with a removable lid, approximately 8×8 inches—the perfect size for holding festive treats.

2. Embrace the sunshine: Cover the entire box (inside and out) with bright yellow fabric or paper, securing with glue. 

3. Add floral blessings: Attach small orange and yellow marigold flowers (real dried ones or paper ones) around the edges of the lid.

4. Create texture: Glue a border of yellow and orange ribbons around the box in alternating patterns, reminiscent of the vibrant decorations at the ceremony.

5. Select sunny sweets: Arrange yellow-colored sweets like kesar pedas, besan laddoos, and saffron-infused barfi in concentric circles inside the box.

6. The ceremonial touch: Include a small organza pouch filled with aromatic turmeric powder tied with a yellow string, placed in the centre of the sweets.

7. Personal message: Add a small card with a warm message and perhaps a photo of the bride or couple, tucked among the sweets.

For those busy wedding weeks when DIY projects seem impossible between all the other preparations, Mewaz's Haldi favour bags come beautifully personalised with the couple's initials. They include traditional elements alongside delicious Saata Mithai and Kesar Pista Mithai. 

Mehendi Moments

Create a green-themed box that's as intricate and beautiful as the mehendi designs themselves:

1. Select a palace for patterns: Choose a flat, wide box—ideally one that's shallow and rectangular, allowing for a beautiful display.

2. The canvas of tradition: Cover the box with emerald green fabric or paper, representing the rich green paste used in mehendi art.

3. Create your patterns: Using fabric paint, stencils, or even henna itself, decorate the edges with intricate paisley patterns, peacocks, or floral motifs.

4. Layer the experience: Line the inside with lighter green tissue paper, creating a beautiful contrast when opened.

5. The green feast: Arrange green-colored treats like pista barfi, mint chocolates, and paan-flavoured sweets in a circular pattern, working from the outside in.

6. The artist's touch: Include a small decorative cone that can be filled with mehendi paste. Wrap it in a piece of green fabric tied with gold thread.

7. Scented memories: Tuck in a small sachet of crushed eucalyptus leaves or a drop of eucalyptus oil on cotton to release a refreshing scent when opened.

When you want professional elegance without the crafting stress, Mewaz offers beautiful Mehendi Chhaabs—thoughtfully crafted trays featuring authentic mehendi cones, mithai, and dragees. 

Cocktail Celebrations

For the modern pre-wedding cocktail party, create a sophisticated box that's as stylish as the event itself:

1. Choose sleek sophistication: Select a rectangular box with clean lines—matte black or metallic silver works beautifully for this contemporary celebration.

2. Create the mood: Spray paint the box in your chosen colour (black, silver, or even a deep navy), applying several thin coats for an even finish.  

3. Add subtle glamour: Use a metallic marker to add thin geometric patterns or a simple border around the edges—nothing too busy, just elegant hints of sparkle.

4. Luxurious lining: Line the inside with dark tissue paper or velvet fabric in midnight blue or black for a plush, upscale feel.

5. Curate the contents: Fill with treats like chocolate-covered nuts, spiced almonds with sea salt, dark chocolate truffles, and perhaps even crystallised ginger.

6. The personal mixologist touch: Include a beautifully written cocktail recipe card featuring the couple's signature drink, perhaps on black cardstock with metallic ink.

7. Final polish: Wrap with a simple satin ribbon in a deep jewel tone, attaching a miniature cocktail charm or small gold stirrer as a keepsake.

When you're too busy perfecting your dance moves to DIY, Mewaz's cocktail hampers come ready to enhance your celebrations with perfect bar snacks, including their signature Peru Chilli Almonds and Munch Mix—sophisticated flavours specially created to complement those festive drinks while you focus on enjoying the party.

Mata Ki Chowki

Honour the divine with a box that's as sacred as the ceremony itself:

1. Begin with blessings: Find a wide, shallow basket approximately 12 inches in diameter—similar to the traditional ones used in pooja.

2. Sacred colours: Paint the basket red (or cover with red fabric) as this colour symbolises the Goddess. 

3. Divine symbols: Use gold paint or glitter glue to add sacred symbols like the Om, swastik, or simple lotus designs around the outer edge.

4. Create the sacred space: Line the inside with red silk fabric, leaving enough to drape slightly over the edges.

5. Organise the offerings: Divide the basket into sections using thin cardboard dividers covered in gold paper.

6. Fill with devotion: In each section, place small pouches of prasad (like dry fruits, batasha, or sugar crystals), a beautifully folded red chunri for the Goddess, packets of vermilion, and a decorative glass bottle filled with homemade rose or kewra sharbat.

7. The spiritual centre: In the middle, place a small silver or brass diya, ready to be lit during the ceremony.

8. Finishing touch: Decorate the edges with marigold flowers or rose petals, and attach tiny bells to the handle that ring softly when moved.

When devotion calls but time runs short among all the preparations, Mewaz's Mata Ki Chowki customised gift baskets arrive complete with Mataji Chunri and refreshing Sharbat. 

Baby Announcements

Welcome your little bundle of joy with a handcrafted announcement box that's as precious as your new arrival:

1. Shape of love: Select a heart-shaped box or round hatbox in a medium size—approximately 10 inches across is perfect.

2. Soft beginnings: Cover the box in velvet or satin fabric—powder blue for a boy, blush pink for a girl, or a gentle yellow or green for a surprise. Secure with fabric glue.

3. Little embellishments: Decorate the lid with tiny fabric or paper booties, miniature rattles, or small wooden alphabet blocks spelling the baby's initials. Attach with strong craft glue.

4. Cosy interior: Line the inside with several layers of soft tulle or organza fabric, creating a nest-like effect to cradle the sweets.

5. Sweet selections: Arrange milk-based sweets like malai pedas, milk cake, or rasmalai in neat circles. 

6. Share the joy: Create a beautiful announcement card with the baby's name, birth date, time, weight, and a sweet message. 

7. Finishing whispers: Sprinkle a few drops of baby cologne on tissue paper and place it under the lid, so a gentle baby-fresh scent wafts out when opened.

8. Tie it with love: Wrap with satin ribbon, attaching a small silver charm like a star, heart, or tiny pair of baby feet.

For new parents (who are undoubtedly sleep-deprived and short on crafting time), Mewaz offers an entire collection of baby announcement sweet boxes with options for both baby boys and girls.
