Welcome bag ideas

I'm originally from Minnesota and my FH is from Massachusetts (we actually met in MA) but now we live in New Hampshire and are having our wedding in New Hampshire. Since its essentially a destination wedding for all of our guests (coming from 12 different states!) I want to do welcome bags at the Inn. I thought it would be cute to have something in the bag that's a nod to each of our home states. Any suggestions on fun (relatively affordable to buy in bulk) MN themed or MA themed favors? the only idea I have so far is something maybe Paul Bunyan themed for MN or Cape Cod potato chips for MA.

Lots of food distributors- such as Cape Cod- have websites where you can purchase snacks in bulk. Plus there is always Amazon.

Nothing says New England to me more than polar water and necco wafers...

We are having a similar thing. I’m looking at doing canvas bags from our current city and filling them with a tourist guide (free from our local tourism office), local edibles, some event info, and snacks/water.

Food that represents each state is always a great idea! Be sure to include a couple of bottles of water for guests to have in their hotel room as well!
If you can find cute fridge magnets, tea towels, small state art...then those are really cute options as well! They are both useful, but also sentimental because they'll always be reminded of your special day!
