Want to WOW your Out-of-Towners?

Do you have lots of out-of-town guests coming to your wedding? Are you trying to decide what to add to the welcome bags at the hotel?

Here are a few ideas that we've found in the past have really worked well!


  • Welcome letter - Along with the details for the weekend, include a personal note from the bride and groom offering your local hot spots! You can include your favorite eateries (think of drink specials and live music!) along with some tourist ideas & info to maximize their time. If you create the bags near your weekend, including a brief description of the weather forecast is always nice.
  • Provide a contact phone number - we do NOT suggest the Bride or Groom's number, but perhaps a best man/MOH/member of bridal party, who can answer any detail or direction questions.
  • Map of area (ie a downtown/uptown map if staying in Charlotte)
  • Bottled Water
  • Crackers/Chips
  • Something Chocolate!
  • Travel size pack of Tylenol
  • a Small bottle of Wine or Champagne
  • Stickers or a small toy for any children
  • a Disposable camera - they can take pictures all weekend just in case they forgot theirs. Plus it's a cool way for you to see a recap of their trip since you'll be so busy!
