Alright....you're starting to feel hungover and....

So I had a question for you girls. I am making 'Take home' bags for everyone leaving the reception and not staying at the hotel (pretty much, those not getting out of the town baskets)

At first I was thinking of giving them to the valet to put in their car but then I worry about whether the valet boys will actually do it or maybe they will miss a few or give to other guests at the Harrison House. I can't do coat check because some people don't use that. So I was thinking that when people say good-bye to us, I can give it to them then. But my question is does everyone come to say good-bye? I know that sounds weird but I worry about those who slip out the back door.I guess I shoudln't.

Second, after you've been partying all night, dancing, etc. and you are heading home at 11 12 o'clock at night with probably about an hour drive in front of you, what would you like to dig into? I know that water would be good but what else? TIA!

Hmm, that's a good one!
Perhaps those small bottles of water?

Bagel!!!

Maxine (soon2bmsz) gave bagels and coffee on the way out with creamcheese. It was a huge hit. I loved it!

I think it's a nice fairwell bonus.
You can also leave them on a side table with a little plaque that reads 'Please take one or Sweet Dreams' and I would say maybe some chocolate chip cookies (maybe water too if it's not a lot of $$). I think it's a great idea that guests will remember. One wedding I went to gave us Bagels w/ Cream Cheese & Butter packets. I still talk about it all the time. It was a nice touch and great for the next morning.

If you give to everyone its a nice idea. But, if you are only giving it to those not getting Out of Town bags at the hotel its too much. I guarantee you that you will be overwhelmed with people and forget to give all of them out. Or you'll get approached by someone saying goodbye while you're on the opposite side of the room as the bags and you'll tell them to follow you there so you can get the bag and on the way you'll be stopped by more people wanting to take your picture or chat with you and the people that need to go will not be able to wait...its a crazy day and you want it to be as simple on yourself as possible.

Part of the 'Enhancement Menu' that I got at my hall includes a 'New York to Go' bag..Inside is a hot pretzel,hot coffee and peanuts!!

They will be on a table in the lobby as the guests leave.....

My cousin had it at his wedding and they were a huge hit!

I start to go for the sweets (mostly of the baked good variety) when I've had a little too much. So, I'd say cookies. Maybe choc chip or some black & whites. Mmmm...okay, I'm getting hungry now and I haven't even been drinking!
