I plan on doing gable boxes. I think a bottle of water, list of attractions, maybe making some snacks like chocolate covered pretzels and homemade cookies. That's the plan as of right now.

Thanks I like the gable boxes too but I wasn't sure if they would hold as much?? I think I will do the same: bottled water & snacks. Was trying to think of some other cute ideas too. Hmmm....

Thanks I was wondering what gable boxes were also. I was thinking of including a bottle water, an apple, a map, and maybe a metrocard for the guest to site see and information about some sites.

We did gift bags that we bought from dollar tree and we put water, gun, tic tacs, chips, pretzels, cookies, and 2 candy bars. We also put the info for the shuttle and the day after brunch

Hmm I was just thinking about making small gift bags w/ a bottle of wine from LI (there's a vineyard in Sayville, where we live) or Pindar or something like that.

And I'm planning on making a cute newsletter of things to do and info about places on LI that mean something to my FH and I.

What the heck... maybe I'll give them cookies too!

I'm doing gable boxes...pics are in my album. I'm putting chips, popcorn, cookies baked by my MOH, raisins, chocolate, brownies, and a trail mix of peanuts and Reeses Pieces. Oh, and some advil and alkaseltzer. Plus a train schedule, directions to the wedding, and a little itinerary of events that weekend.
