- Several guests were spotted leaving Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's rehearsal dinner holding black velvet boxes.

- Attendees seen with the boxes included Ross Travis, Charissa Thompson, and Jarret Stoll.

- *Page Six* reported that each box contained one pricey keepsake to commemorate the event.

What's in the box?

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's super-sized wedding weekend is well underway, and numerous members of the power couple's inner circle were spotted leaving Madison Square Garden in New York City after their rehearsal dinner on Thursday night.

Certain photos of those rehearsal dinner attendees showed guests clutching black velvet boxes with an etching of two Ts and a heart.

Rehearsal dinner guests who were photographed holding the mysterious party favors include former Kansas City Chiefs player Ross Travis; Fox Sports host Charissa Thompson and her boyfriend, Steven Cundari; Kelce's longtime buddy Reggie King and his wife, Sarah Blackburn King, and Erin Andrews and her husband, former NHL player Jarret Stoll.

What might the box contain? Well, *Page Six* reported that each of the parcels carried one diamond-adorned champagne flute, citing a source.

The same outlet reported that the boxes featured a piece of frayed fabric on top that bore an image resembling a garden where Swift and Kelce took their engagement photos, which sounds aligned with the wedding's reported garden theme. (Is that also why they picked a venue with "Garden" in the name? Who's to say.)

*Page Six* also reported that the fabric on the box was fastened with a wax seal and wrapped around a card.

Numerous well-known celebs were spotted en route to Swift and Kelce's rehearsal dinner feature, including Selena Gomez, Swift's longtime frien Lena Dunham, the musician's frequent collaborator (and Dunham's ex) Jack Antonoff, Kelce’s *Happy Gilmore 2 *costar Adam Sandler, and Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid.

Several of Swift's previous collaborators who are expected to be on the guest list for the wedding have been spotted around New York in recent days, including Sabrina Carpenter, Ed Sheeran, and Aaron Dessner.

Swift and Kelce's wedding is set to begin on Friday afternoon in Manhattan. A source told PEOPLE that the bash would have a no-phones policy, explaining that "Guests have been told there will be a phone check upon arrival."

PEOPLE also reported that, according to a permit, between 500 and 999 guests will attend the Madison Square Garden event.
