Destination Wedding

Instead of welcome bags we thought we'd do a thank you bag upon leaving the reception. Possibly items for the roadtrip or the plane ride. Everyone will be staying in different hotels and some may not make it to the welcome dinner and we believe this may be a good alternative. So first things first...



1.) is this even a good idea? 2.) What would you like to receive in them? 3.) Any additional thoughts/concerns welcome!

    Awwww that is sooooo cute. Things that are tiny and edible like mini bottles of wine or liquor? Maybe some candies?

    That sounds nice! Possible cute souvenirs from the destination. It would have to be small enough for people to carry back home though.

    We didn't do any types of bags for our guests since we wanted to save money, but I know they are a popular thing. I would include snacks, water and Advil. Mints or gum would be a good idea too. I don't drink so I hate the smell of alcohol on people's breath. I wouldn't spend a ton of money on these though as people may not take them. The difference with these bags compared to welcome bags are that you would relying on your guests to take, but welcome bags are generally handed to them when they check in.

    I have heard that. Maybe I could just hand them out. It is such a small guest list and pretty informal that it wouldnt be the end of the world of I had to take a second to pass them out to roughly 20-30 people. Also, good thing is...at least we could always use the products if people dont take them lol.


    Note to self- only buy items we like just in case lol

    I wouldn’t pack anything that would get confiscated at security like water or liquids (unless they are checking a bag). Keep that in mind.

    Yes! Probably keep everything to under 3 oz and nothing that TSA likes to pick or prode at. They confiscated my banana bread once. Haha apparently bread isn't good because it is shaped like a brick haha
