welcome gift bag for out-of-town guests

Don't forget snacks and water...those are the items I always use first out of guest bags.

I think what you are planning on giving is a lovely idea, however, it can get rather costly. Your OOT guests are going to love them though.

I did them for my DW and they were items that would use in the saddle bag of a motorcycle(wipes, hand sanitizer, lip balm, tissues, gum, mints) plus snacks, water and a bottle of maple syrup and a personalized post card.

For Cate's wedding, we did a Welcome to Philly theme and put all things Philly in them: Hershey bar/kisses; Goldenbergs Peanut Chews; Quaker Granola Bars; Utz Chips; Snyders Pretzels and TastyKake. We didn't do water. We gave out cold water outside of church after the ceremony.
