Out of Town Guests Gift Bags

luckyoudevil71

Hi!  I'm new to posting so I hope this works!  I am getting married September 10, 2011.  We have a lot of guest coming in from out of town so we are making gift bags for everyone staying at the hotel.  I'm doing just about the same as everyone else (I will list it below).  What i'm having trouble with is the welcome letter which is more like a brochure.  It will have the "thank you for coming', local businesses and attractions, info on brunch the next day etc... I'm looking for a poem or prayer for travelers.  you know something about traveling and I can't find anything!!!  HELP please!

Here is what I'm thinking of putting in the gift bags (re-useable ones depending on cost)
2 bottled waters
candy bars
2 mini bags of chips
aspirin
deck of playing cards (my FH and I love playing cards!)
golf tees (our hotel and reception hall are on a golf resort)
lotion
tissues
CD (with some of our favorite songs and songs from the reception like our first dance, etc)

Thanks to anyone who can help!!!!

Are you going to include a schedule of events?

My sil was really organized and started telling me the schedule and where I was supposed to be when about a year before the wedding. I had to travel across country with two small children for the wedding and honestly wasn't thinking about wedding schedule until I arrived. She had gift bags with a schedule of events (when I was supposed to be ready for photos, etc.) It was super helpful to have that upon arrival.

I think your good. But if you really want a poem, try and google "Guests poems" or "Travelers peoms".

I am doing the same thing...I think you've got it covered!! Aspirin, water and snacks are always a good thing... especially if they've been enjoying the bar at your wedding all night! 

If you can't find a poem about travelling, maybe one about family and friends...?
