'Things To Do On Long Island'

Has anyone put together a list of things to do on LI for the weekend of their wedding and if so, can you post pics or how you laid it out in your invites so I can get some ideas?

I'm getting married July 4th weekend and would like to include an insert in my invitation for my out of town guests of things to do or check out while here.

Any and all suggestions would be appreciated

I haven't yet, but I could also use the suggestions. We are getting married the same day and we will both be at CLM! lol!

That's awesome! What room are you in? We'll be in the downstairs room during the day.

Hopefully we'll get some responses for this.

my friends did that. they have everything from the hamptons to the bronx zoo. lots of places to eat too. next to each place they have and estimated price (free, $, $$, $$$) and miles away from the wedding location.

i'm still working on mine and will probably set it up along the same lines, ordered differently. they have their's in alphabetical order, i'd probably do mine closest to farthest away.

This sounds great and I love the $ idea. Does your friend have any pics to show of the actual piece? I'm blanking on how this should be laid out.

Hey weekend twin!!

You can write it in word and break it up into sections:
Museums
Parks/Beachs/Zoos
NYC
Fireworks (for july 4th)
Things for children
Nightlife

ETA: If you have AAA, you can go to the office and maybe they will have a booklet you can get (its free if u are a member)
