Wedding Welcome Bags
Having wedding guest welcome bags for your out-of-town guests is always a nice treat. You can decide to have them for just those coming from out of town, or you can decide to make them up for all your guests staying the night. Not only do welcome bags make guests feel special at your event, but they often provide necessary items and information for the weekend!
We have some fun ideas below for your wedding welcome bags, but here are a few things we think every welcome bag should include:
- Welcome note
- Schedule of events for the weekend/wedding day
- Local maps and activity brochures
- Bottled water
Now for the fun part – you can customize your welcome bags to match the personality of your and your groom, the wedding destination, or both! Here are several ideas to get your creative side flowing:
