Bienvenue! Welcome! Bienvenido!

When your out-of-town guests arrive to their hotel for the big wedding weekend, a nice bag of goodies can really make an impression. Some will travel long journeys so to have a tangible "thank you" greeting them when they arrive is a great gesture.

For a generic welcome bag, consider the following: water bottles, candy, snacks, local treats, directions to the ceremony and reception, brochures of local museums or activities, transportation information, local food and restaurant guides and, don't forget, a nice note from the couple! This is where chains like Sam's and Costco can come in handy!

The welcome bag can even go beyond being a nice gesture...it can set the tone of the wedding weekend with your out-of-town guests. Introduce them to your eco-friendly theme by adding organic or local treats in a reusable shopping bag. Show them you are excited about your color scheme by choosing items only in varying shades of those colors. Let your creative juices flow!
