OOT Bags

Lilou902

Can you ladies give me an idea of what all you put in your bags.  We just have a few OOT of town guests, but I wanted to show them my appreciation for making the trip.  I won't be including a map or local restaurants or anything because there isn't much in the area and I know that everyone is coming just before the rehearsal and then leaving the morning after the wedding.  My thoughts were a thank you card, bottle water, snacks for the hotel room....  AND.....that was it.  Any help would be great!  Thanks!

What about also including gum or mints or something along those lines? Since there is nothing in the area, what about a deck of cards?

Is there a popular snack or something made locally? What is your area known for? We have a bakery that makes a specific type of cookie that is very well known in our town, we are including those cookies in the welcome baskets. Snacks and water bottles are always good. Maybe a bottle of wine? I also agree with the PP. Put a deck of cards or a travel version of a game such as Scrabble or Uno.

Thanks ladies.  Those are good ideas.  There are things around the area, like walmart McDonald's etc, just nothing too special, plus I know there won't be much time.  I like the idea or cards/game and maybe wine.  We have a local chocolate store that I was going to get a few homemade goodies from there.  thanks!

The wedding I recently went to also included a little pack of tissues. I was definitely glad I had thrown them into my purse before the wedding!
