advil

bottled waters
small bottle of wine (with our pics on it)
2 plastic wine glasses
advil packs
gum
rice krispy treats
pretzels
cereal bars
chips

also, directions to the reception hall and an invitation to brunch the next day.

I was thinking mini bar type stuff, with a note saying Thank you. I am also looking at personalizing the water bottles. And anything I can fin at the dollar store that looks like a good idea!

I put a handwritten note into each one, thanking people for travelling so far to witness this special day.

I decided to use bags from oriental trading, so they could pack them easily and bring them home. I got 12 bags for $14.95. I'm putting some NY memorbillia in them. I bought I love NY keychains on ebay, I'm going to put NY post cards in there along with a deck of playing cards, maybe maps (subway, road ways) if I can find them cheap enough. Also, I'm going to attach luggage tags, I got for real cheap from bluerainbowdesign.com. I'm going to also include water, chips, candy or whatever. HTH
