OOT bag and welcome letter

I went through a bunch of old LIW posts to see what people put and I love the poem I found, so I think I'm going to use that:

We welcome our guests from far and near,
And say a big thank you for being here!
We’re so glad you chose to stay,
And celebrate our wedding day.
Here are some goodies for you to use and eat
To make your stay a little more sweet
So kick back, relax, and enjoy your stay
We’ll see you on our wedding day!!!

I didn't like this one as much, but I figured I'd include it for thoroughness since many people seemed to like this one too in the past:

We made a little bag,
completely full of treats,
whether your mouth gets dry and thirsty,
or you're in the mood for some sweets.
It's just a small token
full of our love, hugs and kisses,
to thank you for the trip you've made
to see the new Mr. & Mrs.

Here's the posts I found on what people put in them:

The complete list:
