    we did "local" themed, so some of this isn't necessarily boston specific

    cape cod potato chips
    lobster lollipops
    poland spring water
    red sox peanuts
    welch's fruit snacks
    boston baked beans
    necco wafers

    our actual bags were red sox bags purchased at iparty

    We included:
    Cape cod chips (Shaws)
    Red Sox Pen (I Party)
    Boston Baked Beans (I Party)
    Necco Wafers (I Party)
    Boston Post Cards - (Fanueil Hall and the old State House, downstairs)  they have a book of old Boston post cards then we found the new Boston post cards that matched.  We addressed and stamped one postcard to the Bride and Groom with a tag saying please drop us a line and let us know how you enjoyed your stay in Boston-- the second one we put a stamp on for them to mail to whomever they want.
    Boston sightseeing flyers ( we got these at the Old State House, downstairs and by stopping at hotels and picking a few up.)
    MBTA schedules
    lobster lollipops (Melville candy.com)
    "Things to do in Boston" brochure- We made this.
    Personalized Water Bottles
    Granola Bars
    Dancing Beer Cookies

    The bags were white kraft bags from Michaels.  I bought and printed clear mailing lables.  One side of the bag was either a picture of the swan boats or the Prudential with the Red Sox sign lit up.  The other side was a printed clear mailing label with Welcome to Boston, the wedding logo and "Enjoy your stay, we are happy you are here"

    I have a bunch to sell!!!  We made these, and ended up only handing out a couple of them, so I have TONS of supplies left over (enough to put together over 10 bags).  Let me know if you are interested in a list of exactly what I have, if you might be interested in buying any of it from me.

    We used take out bags from Legal Sea Foods as the actual bag, and then added different stuff (they don't all have the same exact stuff, but close to it):
    -Boston Baked Beans Candy
    -Poland Springs Water
    -Necco Wafers
    -Cape Cod Potato Chips (the small bags)
    -Red Sox mini helmets, pens, &/or PEZ dispensers
    -Charlie Cards
    -maps of Boston
    -lobster bibs
    -New England themed tea bags
    -red or blue folder (to match the bags) that we used to put a copy of the guidebook we wrote with itinerary, things to do in Boston, maps, etc

    Let me know if you are interested!  We got everything at Iparty, Shaw's/Stop & Shop, Christmas Tree Shops, or Target. 
    Yay! Finally able to update my signature :)

    We're including most of the same food stuff, but we're also throwing in T Cards as well- you can get blank ones at South Station, or you can  give ones with 5 dollars or something on them.
