Bag preference? Vote on which you would prefer to receive??

Alyssa, on December 19, 2018 at 1:11 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 21
Ok I’m going to make a care package/hangover kit (some toiletries and individually wrapped medicines) for the restrooms if my hotel Block and a welcome bag for their room. I think everyone will pretty much bring everything but it seems like sometimes things get forgotten so I was trying to think of the most frequently forgotten items to include

each bag will be room specific so there wouldnt be girly stuff in older couples bags or in only male rooms

in my welcome bags I was going to include a variety of drinks, snacks, and candies as well as a personal gift item and include a card with a personal message and have them handed out by hotel (apparently they will do welcome bags individually by knocking on the door 1 hour after check in so I was thinking snack and gifts delivered then)

then I am including sewing kits and those individually wrapped dental floss things in the venue restrooms


thinking about boxes or gift bags for my guests but doing something more special for my wedding party

im think either personalized bags: a big tote size and a small makeup bag size (6x9) and put their stuff in them: 1st 2 photos

Or I was thinking that a nice travel toiletries bag is something everyone can use but people rarely would buy themselves probably (I know my daddy has carried the same brown one forever unless he's changed after I moved out lol)

Which would you prefer?

The tote and "makeup" bag (tote as pictured in white with navy 1 letter) and smaller 6x9 inch bag as navy with white text

Or Something like these toiletry bags? (Last 4 photos I’m asking about style only NOT colors that are pictured)

    I personally like the tote and makeup bag!

    Question for your hotel goodie bags...do you have a list of who's in what room to personalize them? Or how are you making sure everyone gets the right one? It seems like a lot more work!

    I like the bottom 4, but I think for a family the tote is more useful!

    I'd rather have the tote & makeup bag. I'm really pick about my travel toiletries bag and so is my fiance, we both have ordered new ones in the past few years so we wouldn't use ones gifted to us. I got my bridesmaids totes off Zazzle

    It’s a service the hotel offers

    they will deliver at desk on check in,
    place in rooms before check in,
    or hand deliver between 1-2 hours after check in

    they will do personalized only if the names are clearly displayed on the outside and are the same names as used at check in (so if I write me John Doe and reservation under Mrs Jane doe they will return them to me but I was just going to text everyone and ask what name they’re using the day before lol

    its a very small wedding lol

    Thank you

    i kind if like Ike that I can get different styles to match different individuals (for example if they have 3 kids or are a single male lol)

    im wondering if girls would prefer personalized though


    maybe switch tote for toiletries bag and do toiletries bag and custom 6x9 makeup bags?

    I think this is a you know your audience better moment! Personally, I avoid doing things different for different guests because if you get it wrong you have to deal with the what I like to call sibling rivalry syndrome complaints : "Why did each of so and so's kids get a personalized bag, but the whole family got 1 to share!" I personally think it is best to pick one for all also it will make your life more easy. I assume you won't start having this made until people start booking their rooms.

    I would not put together anything for guests until 30 days out because that’s when the block deadline is so the final numbers will be in

    im only considering personal bags or travel bags for the wedding party and they have already booked in the block

    thank you so much for pointing out the rivalry concern

    i definitely would want to take that into consideration too!! I have 3 siblings in my wedding party lol

    Thank you so much!!

    Thank you for your opinion!

    i was wondering if women might really prefer that (I wouldn’t but I can easily see how maybe a majority would so it might be a better fit for the situation)

    i really appreciate you taking time to let me know the personalized bags are better for you

    I’m a woman who LOVES doing things outside of the “norm”! I too was planning a self care basket for the women’s & men’s rest rooms of the venue. I love the tote and makeup combination. Useful and very cute!

    I would like the last toiletry bag. I think that’s actually a great idea and I may do that for my BMs! Put some cute little toiletries in there, too.

    I love your idea of personalized welcome baskets! I agree with PP, as long as you can ensure they get to the correct people then it’s a very sweet gesture your guests will love.

    I’m going to include other things than the toiletries and care package stuff in each bag that will be individual to the guests (sketch pad and pencils for one, make up for one, a cool recipe book for one who loves to cook and so on)...

    what do you think you might include for yours?
