What to Include in your Destination Wedding Welcome Bag

What are Wedding Welcome Bags? They are essentially bag with useful/fun things that your guests will use while at your wedding. Typically they are left in the guests hotel room or you can pass them out at an opening event like the welcome cocktail hour.

Welcome bags can be anything from kraft bags to totes to carry on suitcases! It can be as simple or as extravagant as your budget allows.

They always include any wedding event information that your guests need to know about. Like if they are in the rehearsal they need to know where and what time. If you have a morning after brunch before you leave for your honeymoon, include that info.

First, you want to include a note from you to thank and welcome your guests. You can find some cute ones here. This is a great place to also include your itinerary.


This for their room key holder and add wrist coils to make it easier to carry when going to the pool, etc. Then you can make them fancy with fun design inserts like these below (just click on them).

Another fun thing that can be very useful is an emergency kit (hangover kit). They are so easy to put together and are affordable. You can get cute ones like pictured below (click on image).

Some things you can include (but not limited to) are below. I found the best affordability for you.

Advil

Aloe Vera

Pepto

Alka-Seltzer

Vitamin C Packs

Chap Sticks

Gum

Sun Screen

Tide Sticks

Bug Wipes

Some other things that are fun to include are:

Tumbler

Hotel Door Hanger

Snacks - make sure they aren’t meltable or you may have a mess!

All in all Welcome Bags are not necessary but very much appreciated! You can fill them as you like and I hope I’ve given you some good ideas!
