Re: out of town gift bags

I was thinking of water bottle, gum or mints, small bottle of lotion, and small snacks. I want to do more, but that's all I'm sure about. Mine is a night wedding so all this would be good for when they get back to their rooms.

i know i was surprised, we definitely enjoyed everything that was in there and appreciated it. The best part was that when dh and i checked in, the hotel told us that we were the guests of the day and we also received an additional basket from the hotel with a bunch of goodies. At first i wasnt sure if they did this for everybody to make them feel special but i asked all the other guests and nobody else got it. So we made out great that day hahaha, we had tons of goodies, the hotel had a basket with with chips, cookies, chocolate, and a bunch of other snacks plus bottles of water

BUT she also probably went all out bc most of us who stayed were in the bridal party so maybe thats why.

ETA: btw she is an 08 LIW bride

Re: out of town gift bags

Sample packet or small bottle of aspirin is a great idea too in case they have too many cocktails while celebrating.
