  I'm planning to put bottled water (2 in each probably), a salty snack (like chex mix), a sweet snack (like M&Ms) and something Atlanta-related.  LIke a Coke glass or something.  And maps and stuff.

  I'm planning on doing this but using peanuts for the salty snack(locally grown if I can find them), and if I can find some priced right I'd like to include some locally made peach jam or something. I'd also like to include some little things like hand sanitizer and breath mints or something.

  I definitely want to do a Georgia themed OOT bag since most of my family is from up north.  We are getting married in Roswell, so we are using some Atlanta specific things too.  So far we had thought we would do a glass bottle of coke, a map, a chic-fil-a coupon, a postcard with a stamp from a local attraction (like the CNN center, stone mountain, etc.) and (my brilliant idea of the day..) a peach candy stick from the Cracker Barrell.  You know, those little stick candies they have in a dozen or so flavors?  Well they have a peach one and they are only$1.00 for 8.  HTH!

  [QUOTE]Hi GA knotties, I'd love to hear suggestions of what you are putting in your welcome baskets/bags for your out of town guests.  Our wedding is somewhat of a destination, since we're about 1 - 1.5 hours outside of Atlanta in the mountains.  The places most people are staying have a kitchen so I thought we would include more food than anything since I doubt people will have time to hit the grocery - cokes (of course!), maybe a local bottle of wine, apples from Ellijay and some of the coffee we are blending ourselves (also used as favors)...other than that I'm kind of stuck.  We were thinking a map or a list of things to do in the area, but any other "gifts" or something you loved to get in a wedding welcome bag? Thanks!

  @pokepoke - we are looking at peach jam too, but I love the peach candy sticks.  Who doesn't love those!
