Ideas for budget out of town bags?

Hi all - 

I'm starting to think about what we'll need to get for our out of town bags. We're on a budget so this is a lower priority. I'm thinking bottled water, some snacks and a letter welcoming and thanking the guest for coming with some details for the weekend (brunch, etc.). Anyone have any cute but affordable ideas to add?

  • Go to your local travel bureau and pick up some brochures for local attractions...they're free. :)  You could also print out a map of the area.
  • I think snacks and the letter would be great.  And, I like gpapale's idea about the brochures for things to do in the area!

  • Yup... pretty much what everyone else has said. For mine, I also threw in a schedule of events for the weekend. We also included directions to and from the venue, church and rehearsal dinner from the hotel location.
  • Yeah, I was thinking of water bottles & a couple snacks - nothing too fancy =]

  • Same as PP. We're also making do not disturb signs for the doors. We're printing them so they're costing us practically nothing.

  • I made door hangers that say "recovering from our wedding" which turned out really cute. I plan to also make some labels for water bottles and bake some chocolate chip cookies to put in there with some maps and brochures.

  • def. free brochures and go to Sam's Club or Cosco for the goodies. That's what we're doing. :)
