step-1Start by choosing a unique packaging to hold your welcome goodies. There are plenty of beautiful options available and packaging can be tailored to fit any budget or theme.

step-2Start building your bag by choosing local goodies you want to highlight. For instance, local jam, small-batch caramels, unique hot sauce, the list goes on and on! A special candy or unique drink from your wedding's location is a nice personalized touch. To save money, buy items and packaging in bulk.

step-3Once you've selected your welcome bag goodies, be sure to include an activities card for guests to reference (if applicable). If you have a wedding website with an online itinerary, be sure to direct your guests there for more information.

step-4A sweet additional and personalized touch, handwritten 'Thank You' notes for each guest are a thoughtful gesture that go a long way.

step-5Your welcome bag is ready for delivery! Your guests will love their warm welcome due to every thoughtful detail.
