Welcome Bag 101

    We have seen quite a number of weddings here at Blush Events. You can only imagine the months of planning that a Bride & Groom go through to ensure every little detail is tackled and executed perfectly. The bouquets, the rings, the centerpieces...everything from the wedding day itself to the hotel after party. But what about before the ceremony even begins? Couples want to make their guests feel welcome upon arrival & who else to give them better advice then our staff at Blush! Here are some fun tips and must-haves to make sure your guests have a great stay for your big day.

    A welcome letter thanking your guests for coming is always a nice personalized touch. It not only shows your appreciation, but holds important information, such as shuttle times to to venue & after party/breakfast information for the next day (if you choose to include one).

   Everyone is dancing to the DJ or band all night and drinking at the open bar, so small packets of advil or tylenol (per person) are a necessity. You can get them on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Advil-Tablets-Reliever-Refill-Two-Packs/dp/B0006SW71G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1398354571&sr=8-1&keywords=advil+packets

  Make sure you have one bag or tote for each person staying in the room. Staying hydrated is key, so we recommend bottled water (you can even make your own labels if you're crafty with websites like zazzle or etsy). Snacks such as chips, gum, cookies, granola bars or anything available in a snack pack size are perfect! You can even add in your favorite candies or something specific to the theme of your wedding, just keep it bite sized.

   Destination wedding? Then you may want to add in a mini-travel candle. One site we love is Beau Coup (but there are SO many to choose from)! http://www.beau-coup.com/travel-candle-favors.htm.

   Trust us, follow these must-have's and your guests will be happy as can be & will be thanking you the next morning. We would love to see what you come up with! Feel free to send pictures of some of your own welcome bags to post on our blog and Instagram. Send them to christina@blushevents.net & maybe you will see yours posted on our page!
