What kinds of gifts and favors for a destination wedding?

Just trying to get ideas. What kind of favors would you give to your guests at a destination wedding?
Maybe, luggage tags?? Any other suggestions? I know I want to do a welcome basket in their rooms, what kind of stuff would you put in there? Also Bridal Party gifts?? Thanks!

Well if your going to do the Valentines day wedding ...maybe choclates and candles?? to help them relax. The luggage tags are a good favor also. Or I have seen these glasses with sand and shells in them and a cork in the top to prevent the sand from coming out. This way it will remind them it was a destination wedding also.

Thanks for the suggestions! I think I'll be able to do a couple of things since I'll only have about 10 guests. I really like the towels and you can have them emboirdered(sp?). I also like luggage tags, although I think I'll send these before the wedding so they can use them for the trip. I also want to do a welcome basket in their rooms. I think I might give out nice photo albums for the guest favors so they can put pictures of their trip in it. I guess it will also depend on where we decide to have it. I can include local specialties such as coffee or liquor. This destination planning is fun! I feel like I can do so much more now for my guests. Where are you getting married in ST. John's? I'm still trying to find a destination and resort. Thanks!
