Creative Welcome Bags for Destination Weddings




Welcome bags are part of the destination planning.  You want to make a great first impression when your guests arrive to the location.  Greet your guests with items that are native to the region in which they are traveling to.

The following items should be included in all welcome bags:

 Map of the Region
 Restaurant Guide
 Timeline of the weekend activities
 Bottles of water
 Salty Snack
 Sweet Snack

Be creative in your bag selection, the types of containers varies from tote bags, to white gift bags to gable boxes.


Tote bags, are filled with snacks, local items and items that represent the couple




Tag the bags with custom tags that match your theme of the wedding.


Add some after party hangover kits, filled with advil, alka seltzer, tums are just some suggestions



Create bags that are native to the area, in NYC we hand out 5th Avenue candy bars, pretzels and apples

In the Caribbean, for planned activities we included snorkeling equipment with sunscreen, aloe and candy native to the island


Palm bags are great, this bag was used a favor with a picture frame that we had photos taken of each guest


Towels are great for the bags, that are personalized with the wedding theme
