HANGOVER KIT: Hand Sanitizer, Painkillers, and some Band-Aids for any minor emergencies.
A SCHEDULE OF EVENTS for the wedding weekend, including the rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception.
LOCAL PRODUCTS AND SOUVENIRS: You can add a touch of your region or city by including local products or souvenirs in your welcome bags. This can include things like coffee mugs, shot glasses, postcards, or small items like magnets or stickers that feature local landmarks.
