Hotel welcome bags are the first impression of your wedding weekend. Once all of the major logistical details of your wedding are attended to, you should focus on the hospitality aspect of the wedding weekend.
The first thing many of your guests will do when at the start of your wedding weekend is to check into their hotel room. You can start the weekend off on the right foot by providing a thoughtful welcome bag that guests receive upon check-in.
Best Hotel Welcome Bag Tips
Here are my top tips for making a memorable hotel welcome bag. A customized and reusable tote bag will make a great first impression. I recommend that you stock it with a drink, snacks, a welcome letter, and literature about local points of interest. The welcome letter should also include the weekend itinerary, including transportation schedules. I always encourage you to showcase items local to your wedding location. You can also include some personal favorites, whether or not they are relevant to the wedding location. If your first date was at a Tex Mex restaurant, include chips and salsa. If you both went to the same college, include a small item like a keychain from the college. Don’t be generic when you can be specific. It shows that you were thoughtful in creating the hotel welcome bags.
