We had planned to do hotel welcome bags for our out of town guests (most everyone except the groom's immediate family are out of town) with bottled water and small snacks.
However, when I checked with our reception venue recently I was told that only a fraction of the guests who I know have booked rooms are actually counted under our 'block.' I know people are mentioning our block because of the rate discount.
This is going to cause a major problem determining the quantity of welcome bags we need, and we don't really have money to spend on extra bags.
So here's the issue I'm having... I don't have the patience or time to sit on the phone with the hotel going through the entire guest list of 200 people with them to find out who has booked and getting them moved to our block so I can have a true room count.
Can anyone suggest another idea instead of a welcome bag that is cheap, doesn't require assembly and can be bought in bulk?
