Breakfast for Guests

Hi Everyone! Looking for your advice on guests staying over at the Inn on the night of the wedding. The wedding is at the Inn, so anyone staying overnight will be on site and we are offering breakfast the next morning to any of our guests staying over. I wasn't originally planning on making the "welcome bags" just because it's not necessarily a destination wedding and I just didn't feel like they would be worth the extra hassle. However, what would be the best way to let our guests know that we are offering them breakfast in the morning? Should the Inn just let them know when they check in? Or would it be worth making small welcome bags with a note about breakfast? Just wondering what everyone else experienced in the past or what would you prefer as a guest?

You could always make and print out little detail/timeline cards for the inn to either hand out when they arrive, or place in their rooms! Welcome bags aren't necessary for this to happen!

You could put it on your website or on a details card with the information. Or, have the info available at check in , the front desk may be able to hand out an info sheet or just mention to guests that there is breakfast available for wedding attendees

You could definitely have the Inn let them know upon check-in, or if you wanted to do something like a details card, you could see if the Inn can hand them out to the guests when they get their keys to their rooms!

Oh I like that idea! For some reason I thought it would be weird without a bag, but I think this could work!

I think it's fine with no bag!
We're only doing bags because the majority of our guests staying in the hotel have to fly! But I don't think anyone will think less of it if you just do the card!

On the invitation where it usually says "reception to follow" I'm writing "evening reception and farewell brunch to follow" and providing more details on the website.

I've never received a welcome bag or attended a farewell brunch the day after. Both of those are above and beyond but not required and wouldn't be missed if they were skipped. If you choose a day after breakfast, I would mention it on a separate details card.
