Out-of-Town Bags


Out-of-town guests make a special effort to attend your wedding — the travel time, distance and expense is not always easy. Here are some items that will make them feel more welcome:

  • Information about your wedding and other events planned for the big weekend — Is there a gathering after your Rehearsal Dinner or a brunch the day after? Include contact phone numbers, addresses and directions/maps.
  • A local snack — Salsa, pecans or barbeque sauce, to name a few for my fellow Texans. Check out TexasFood.com for more Texas-made treats.
  • A bottle of water — Every guest on the go should be properly hydrated. Add more wedding flair by personalizing the label.
  • What to do in the area — A museum exhibit, movie theater, your favorite restaurant, etc. Dallas locals  look here for a day-by-day event calendar.
