OOT boxes - things to do on LI

Is anyone including a 'Things to do on LI' in their OOT bags/boxes?

Any suggestions?

Our guests will be staying at the Executive Inn at Woodbury, located across the street from our reception site the Woodbury Country Club.

I wanted to do this too.....we were thinking of puting a LI map in the OOT bags, with a list of some east end things to do since our wedding is in Port Jeff, maybe a list of all the wineries, shopping, and even some NYC stuff.

does anyone else have any ideas?

We're having our wedding in NJ, and the reception and hotel is right by the Short Hills Mall. I got in touch with them and they gave me a few VIP passes to put in the OOT gift baskets so our guests can shop and get some free stuff from the mall. See if Roosevelt Field Mall or the hotel has anything like that.
