Guest welcome bags, also known as OOT (Out of Town) Bags/Boxes are a great alternative to saying “welcome” and “so glad you came” when you are dealing with an usually hectic schedule taking care of last minute details and preparations for your big day.
Welcome Bags/Boxes can be as large or as small as your budget will allow. The extra expense in this inclusion into your wedding can give you the opportunity to personalise and memorialise your day for everyone. They can include an array of items as extravagant as you can dream up to simple & inexpensive items that are just as well received. From just a simple welcome letter to the ultimate splurge you can fill your gift bags/boxes with snacks to curb the traveler’s appetite, local treats from the area, or even homemade delights.
Easily incorporate your wedding surrounds into your gift bags/boxes too! If your setting is a beach front consider putting beach towels, sunscreen and flip flops into your gift bags/boxes. If you are planning a country getaway, perhaps a welcome gift bag full of homemade goodies; handcraft items and local treat. Winter wedding bags could be filled with hot chocolate mixes, coffee mixes, fuzzy slippers or even fun matching flannel pajamas. Top off any destination wedding bag with chocolates & candy. It is a great way to fill it to the brim and stay within a budget easily. The possibilities are limited only by ones imagination.
