OOT/Hotel Welcome Bags - Contents...what to put inside?

I think 2 granola bars and 0 fruit snacks would be better as well, especially since you already have homemade cookies in there.

You could add a letter thanking them for coming and include with some cute local tips in it (like FH and I's favourite breakfast place nearby is the ___). Their hotel will of course have maps etc, but people always love personal recommendations.

Thanks for those suggestions! Most people are coming in the day of the wedding (night wedding, so they will arrive during the day) and leaving the next morning, other than my extended family who have things planned already. We actually don't live in the area we are getting married, so I can't really suggest where they could go haha! We will be provided limo transportation for all guests the night of the wedding, so after getting to the hotel they won't have to travel or do anything on their own, if they don't wish to.

You are baking cookies yourself for your wedding OOT gift bags. You win all gift bags ever. I'm impressed.

I would skip the homemade cookie, only because some people could be weird with food that was not bought wrapped. Personally, I wouldn't care, but there are people out there that may. I would also agree that granola bars vs fruit snacks. also, if it's in an area people may not go to often, or even been there at all, something cute written up, like fun facts or something.

We are doing water/crackers/Fruit/Tylenol and a welcome card in a reusable bag. I also added bug spray wipes since we are getting married outside in June. I would save the time and energy and skip the cookies.

My FMIL is doing a 'hangover bag'- Tylenol, a small personal bottle of vodka and some gum/breath mints in addition to what you listed!

Can I have one? I can't believe you're making cookies. I'll eat MrsLepelis's cookies.

I tied this tag to the handles of the bag and went off of that. I also made a sign in a picture frame to put on the hotel lobby desk that says "please let us know if you are checking in to celebrate the (her last name/his last name) wedding" that way they remember to hand out the bags

This is what we're including in ours:

-Weekend Itinerary

-Local maps etc. from visitor's center

-Palmetto Rose

-Mini Charleston Chew Candy (getting married in Charleston)

-Benne Seed (Sesame) Crackers

-Locally made Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka Minis

-Bottle of water

-Mini Tylenol Packs

-Spanish fan

Heres what were planning to put in ours 1. T-shirt (FH owns a screen printing company so its only right, havent thought of what should say yet) 2. Bottled water 3. Wedding itinerary (welcome drinks i stole that idea from Christine, RD, ceremony, wedding, possibly breakfast it depends on my family some may want to hit the road its 8 hrs for them) 4. Mini Tylenol 5. Small snack most likely chips & granola bar (in case miss breakfast), 6. List of nearby activities & suggestions (theyll be in the french quarters so this should be ez unless the weather's bad) 7. Hand written thank you note

Faran- Not stealing, I'm glad I gave you an idea!

NOoo!! Dont take out the cookies! Thats my favorite thing in your bag!!! Can you put a couple of safety pins and a couple bobby pins in there too, i ALWAYS need a safety pin when i dont have one!

My friend made "Do Not Disturb" signs that said "Shh, We're Recovering From John and Jane's Wedding!" They were super adorable.

Alicia, that sign is really cute!

I was planning on making cookies too.

Everything else looks good. Love the sign posted too!!
