What to put in a welcome wedding bag?

If you're wondering what to include in a welcome wedding bag, this post is for you!

A Welcome Bag is the perfect way to welcome your family and friends to your special day. There's no better feeling than arriving at your hotel after a long flight and finding a personalized welcome bag full of well-thought-out treats. Even if you're not having a destination wedding; welcome bags are becoming a must-have at high-end and luxe weddings.

Local Weddings:

  • Welcome, or Thank you, notes

  • A schedule of wedding events

  • Transportation Information

  • Bottle of water

  • Hangover Kit

    • Hand Sanitizer

    • Painkiller

    • Band-aids

    • Dental floss and mouthwash

    • Lip balm

  • Upset Stomach Reliever

  • Gum or mints

  • Local products and souvenirs, Sweet or savory snacks.

  • Tissues

Destination Weddings:

In addition to the local wedding list, you can also add the following:

  • An itinerary for your Wedding Weekend

  • A guidebook, or map of the area

  • A custom "Do not disturb" sign for the door

  • Mosquito Repellent Wipes, or Bug Spray

  • A postcard, or other souvenirs from the area.

  • Fan and Sunscreen

  • Sunglasses

Pro tip: If you're having a destination wedding, we recommend adding some locally sourced goodies to give your guests a taste of their vacay surroundings!

In addition to these items, we suggest adding a few things specifically for children if they're invited to the wedding. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, some crayons, a small toy, or an activity book would be a great touch.
