Updated Dec 13, 202412 Wedding Pinatas We're Obsessed With
One of our favorite new trends is the wedding pinata! We're not talking about a donkey or a cartoon character you find at the generic party store down the street. These are serious paper art pieces designed and constructed to complement your wedding. And couples aren't stopping there — fill it with small favors for your guests like lottery tickets, personalized pins, small toys (for the kids) and mini plastic liquor bottles (for the adults). For a twist on traditional garter toss, we've even seen couples fill their wedding piñata with garters! Take a look at a few of our favorites.
