✅ Pre-booking Checklist

• Define your per-unit budget clearly before browsing — include packaging, customisation, and delivery in the total
• Confirm the guest dietary profile — check for vegetarian, vegan, diabetic, or allergen-related restrictions
• Decide on the customisation level needed — names, logos, event dates, and language preferences (English or Kannada)
• Verify the vendor's bulk-order lead time and align it with your event date, especially during October-February peak season in Mysore
• Request physical samples or unboxing photos before approving large orders to check packaging quality and beverage presentation
• Confirm shelf life of all included beverages — particularly important for summer events where temperatures exceed 35°C
• Discuss delivery logistics and fragile-item packaging if hampers need to be shipped to outstation guests or distributed across multiple venues
• Ask for a consolidated invoice and GST-compliant billing, especially for corporate orders requiring expense documentation

🎯 Selection Criteria

• Beverage quality and sourcing — prioritise artisan, locally sourced, or certified natural products over mass-market brands
• Packaging sturdiness and aesthetic — the first visual impression determines how the hamper is perceived
• Customisation flexibility — ensure the vendor can accommodate your specific language, design, and branding requests
• Vendor reliability and track record — assess past event experience, particularly with Mysore-scale weddings or corporate events
• Value for money — compare price-per-unit across two or three curators on Happiffie before committing to bulk orders
• Sustainability credentials — eco-packaging options matter increasingly to modern recipients and corporate ESG commitments

💰 Cost / Quality Factors

• Number of beverage items per hamper — more items increase cost but also perceived generosity
• Packaging tier — kraft versus rigid box versus reusable basket has the single largest cost variation
• Personalisation add-ons — laser engraving, embossing, and bilingual printing all carry incremental costs
• Minimum order quantity — smaller orders often cost 15 to 25 percent more per unit than bulk orders
• Seasonal demand — Dasara, Diwali, and peak wedding months in Mysore drive up prices and reduce availability
• Delivery complexity — outstation or multi-venue deliveries add logistics costs that must be factored into the total budget

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Ordering without requesting a physical sample — what looks good in a catalogue photograph may disappoint in person
• Ignoring shelf life — including beverages that expire within two weeks of the event creates spoilage and guest disappointment
• Underestimating lead time during Mysore's Dasara and peak wedding season — last-minute orders often compromise quality
• Choosing packaging that cannot withstand Mysore's summer heat — some adhesives and certain juices degrade above 32°C
• Forgetting to include a personalised message card — the card is often the most remembered element of the entire hamper
• Overlooking GST invoicing requirements for corporate orders — missing proper documentation creates accounting complications
