Some of the souvenirs that Great Britain has put out in the past are very valuable now. I remember seeing I think on the Antique Roadshow a complete set of china in commemoration of some royal event decades ago. (Maybe Queen Elizabeth’s wedding) It was exquisite and made by Wedgwood or some famous company.

The official ones are but as you say the ones that the vendors put out are often shoddy goods and rather tacky though in some occasions some of the non official ones can be as good and somehow capture the spirit of the event than the more straight laced official ones.

We have an old waste bin which was an unofficial Charles/Diana wedding souvenir my nan loved it and it is still in use in dad's bedroom. The photo on it is the engagement photo whereas the official souvenirs were all coats of arms etc.

My spouse is a collector but I usually don't have much interest in it. Although, it would be nice to obtain an official memorabilia item of Jenna's wedding. That would be something worth collecting and I will be able to enjoy it as well.
