Since we’re having a destination wedding, it’s only appropriate that we give out welcome bags to our guests when they check into the resort. Don’t you think?
I’ve been to a few weddings that have handed out welcome bags to their guests and I thought it was awesome. It was nice to have a few snacks and bottles of water in your hotel room while you’re getting ready – or winding down in the evening. Especially since everyone will be traveling for our wedding – I think it’s a must to hand out snacks and water for everyone.
In doing some internet sleuthing, I found that a lot of people are anti-welcome bags and think they’re a waste of money. My take on that is… It all depends on what kind of wedding you have. A few local weddings that I’ve attended didn’t have welcome bags – and that’s okay. But it you’re having a wedding where a lot of people have to travel in – I think it’s a fantastic idea.
A rule that I think I’m going to stick to – which should also help me stick to budget so I’m just not throwing just anything and everything into these welcome bags… is to include something edible, something useful and something fun.
Some things that we’re thinking of using in our welcome bags:
Something edible: bottles of water, granola bars, fruit snacks, chewing gum
Something useful: a weekend itinerary, map of Cabo, packets of sunscreen
Something fun: a mini-size bottle of tequila – we’re going to be in Mexico, so that only seems appropriate
