Build a Perfect Welcome Bag for your Wedding's Overnight Guest

Chances are, you won't be able to greet every guest personally when they arrive at your hotel block. But don't worry! We've got you covered with a warm welcome in every bag. Instead of a quick hello, introduce yourselves through a curated collection of goodies.

For our wedding, we wanted to create welcome bags that were both practical and personal. So, we filled them with some of our favorite things, sprinkling in a touch of our love story and recommendations to local spots near the hotel.

Let's dive into what we included and inspire you when building your perfect welcome bag for your overnight guests!

Build a Perfect Welcome Bag

Presentation is Key

Choose a bag or tote that perfectly complements your wedding style and holds all the essentials. We opted for a minimalist approach with plain white gift bags featuring a rose gold "welcome" for a touch of elegance. To maintain our rustic theme, we added a burlap ribbon.

Essential Ingredients

Joe and I are total snack addicts! To keep your energy levels up, we filled our welcome bags with a mix of sweet and savory treats. From pre-dinner munchies to late-night cravings, we've got our guests covered. We indulged the sweet tooth with assorted chocolates and satisfied the salty cravings with a classic bag of sweet potato chips.

Something to Sip

Quench your guests' thirst with a refreshing beverage or two! Add a personal touch by customizing bottle labels with your wedding colors, hashtag, or a sweet message. We included a mini bottle of natural spring water and a celebratory champagne, both adorned with custom designs. For added convenience, we tossed in a plastic stemless wine glass.

The Local Lowdown and Event Lineup

Keep your guests informed and entertained with a comprehensive wedding guide. Pack it with essential details and local tips, making it the go-to resource for a seamless weekend for your guests.

Inside the brochure we created, you'll find a warm welcome, a detailed wedding day timeline, and all the addresses you need. From the ceremony to nearby hotspots, we've got our guests covered. Plus, for downtime, our guests were able to explore our curated list of local must-sees and hidden gems.

We’ve added a touch of fun with a word search and interesting tidbits to make their experience even more enjoyable. And don’t worry – we’ve included contact information for any questions that pop up.

Helping Hand

Prepare for any eventuality with a mini emergency kit. Pack it with essentials like mouthwash, stain removers, lip balm, and makeup remover wipes, making these kits an on-the-go lifesaver for your wedding attendees.

We curated our kits with creativity in mind, sourcing unique items from Etsy and practical travel-sized products from local stores.

A Delivery Plan

Don't forget to plan how your guests will receive their welcome bags. Hotel policies on distributing welcome bags vary. Some hotels offer complimentary distribution, while others might charge a fee for personalized or individually delivered bags.

Be sure to check with your hotel before finalizing your plans. Alternatively, consider enlisting family or members of the wedding party to distribute the bags.
