Welcome Bags



Your wedding is around the corner, and family and friends from all over are gathering to celebrate your big day. If you can't be at the hotel to greet them, A welcome bag is a wonderful way for your guests to start their wedding weekend with you. Fill the bag with lots of personalized goodies and full of information to celebrate their arrival. Your guests will be thrilled with your thoughtfulness!

So, what goes into a perfect bag for your out of town guests? Here are some wedding welcome bag ideas:

A welcome bag that can be reused is the best kind. It’s not only handy, it’s a nice reminder of the fun of your wedding weekend. Your best bets are beach bags or reusable shopping bags, which both fold down nice and small for the return trip!

Nobody wants to drink the tap water in an unfamiliar town, and hotel bottled water costs a fortune, so a freebie will be appreciated.

Consider the climate when you pack your welcome kit. If you’re in a hot spot, make sure to include sunscreen. If it’s chilly or dry, lip balm and hand lotion are nice. No matter what the environment, your guests can always use hand sanitizer, mouthwash, and other mini-toiletries that everyone forgets when they travel.
