A morning ritual from two very different childhoods — filter coffee and a two-stage pour, sent home with 200 guests in Florida.
He grew up with filter coffee. A physician of Indian descent.
She grew up with mornings in New York. After all, this was the city where they met.
Somewhere along the way, coffee became theirs.
For their wedding they didn’t want to give something generic. They wanted to give something that felt like home, and something they shared every day.
So they chose a South Indian coffee filter.
The steel tumbler. The two-stage pour. The argument about decoction ratio that every South Indian family has and no family has ever settled.
A small ritual. A quiet memory. A piece of their story, sent home with every guest.
This is what we believe gifting should feel like.
We designed the box. They approved it. They wrote the words for the card inside, and we designed it and added it.
Two hundred boxes, shipped to their address in Florida.
P.S.
If you’re an Indian-American couple, or the parents of the bride or groom, you’re probably here in the middle of your wedding planning, tired and a little anxious about getting this right for two audiences at once: relatives who may judge whether it’s authentic, and friends who’ve never seen any of this before.
You’ll probably want to know the following. Here’s the short version of each.
- Does this represent us well? Yes. Every piece comes from a real, documented craft tradition, not a souvenir shelf.
- Why this object, specifically? Because it has a real story behind it, the kind worth repeating when a guest asks where it’s from.
- What exactly do we get, and can we shape it? Contents and pairings are yours to choose. We’ll walk you through it.
- Has Jodi Gifts actually done this before? Yes. Real weddings, real guest counts, named right here on this page.
- Can we trust the logistics? Landed price means freight and duty are already in the number. Everything ships as one shipment, no second box to chase.
- What do we do next? One line, right below.
