So back to my point, treat your guests well. Make sure they know how happy you are to have
them there and always remember that a good amount of them probably spent some
money to be there on your special day. Having
a family and a good amount of friends that live mostly out of state I always
think about the traveling that we endure to see each other and how nice it
would be to have a welcome basket upon arrival.
I love these options.
I think the most important things to include in a wedding welcome basket
are:
·
Wedding Itinerary (This is the easiest way to
avoid confusion with timing and where people need to be at certain times.)
·
Guide book or suggestions from the Bride &
Groom on their favorite places to eat, see, and play
·
Water bottles
·
Bottle of wine or champagne (Trader Joes is a
great place to get this)
·
Souvenir from the wedding location (Examples
could be for a Virginia wedding, a Virginia is for Lovers bumper sticker. A Charleston wedding you could place all of
your items in the famous Charleston weaved baskets. Or an item that is from a local store in the
area such as cupcakes from the nearby bakery, or some nuts and dried fruit to
satisfy a hungry traveler.)
·
Welcome note from the Bride & Groom
All of these small touches will not only make your guests
feel welcome but also help them get into the wedding spirit and ease the stress
of traveling. Many people will do these
for the all guests, just guests traveling from out of town, or simply their
bridal party. It’s a nice touch no
matter what you do and is a great way to add some personalized options as well
as get creative with your theme.
Have you ever done welcome baskets for your wedding or an
event? Maybe simply for out of town
guests you’re having stay for a weekend?
I’ve never put one together but I think I may do this when I have friends
in from out of town!
