something unique for your out of town boxes

FH is totally excited about these!

We are getting married in St. Louis so we are having about 70 out of town guests from NYC and the east coast attend. For our out of town boxes I wanted to add stuff that was unique to St. Louis as well as the normal stuff.

This is what will be in our gable boxes for the out of towners.

- 1 large soft pretzel (wrapped in celephane) from a famous pretzel place in St. Louis
- 2 cookies, 1 oatmeal the other choc chip, from a famous bakery in STL
- chocolate shaped Arches for the St. Louis arch
- and finally, the best part......2 pony sized beer bottles, 1 Budwiser the other Bud Light. Pony sized beers are about 8 oz and are miniature bottles of beer. Since St. Louis is the hub of the Budwiser Brewing Industry we thought that would be awsome to include in the boxes.

There will also be 2 little bottles of water and a little bottle of Tylenol and a miniature first aid kit (you never know) along with a little bitty sewing kit, just in case, all of which came from Bed Bath and Beyond. Very excited!!!!

Great Ideas! My husband and I used to live in St. Louis, right accross the street from Forest Park. I used to love to go to the park on the weekend and see all the brides and grooms. I noticed you're getting married at the Jewel Box- I'm sure it wil be gorgeous!

sounds great. I did the same thing for my daughters wedding but most things from Long Island. For example for those LI brides that might be interested: Northfork chips, entermans cookies, LI Beer, a long island apple will go into it and I baked brownies. I also put in a bottle of water and mints.

I might put a black and white cookie and little bags of roasted nuts (from the stands in the city) in addition to a LI beer and water, etc.
