We used bags that had a local connection and filled them with colorful tissue leaving 1 per room at the front desk.

   I should note, MIL purchased in bulk at Costco and made individual bags of treats - got bags from the dollar store. So it was not a huge expense - more time consuming than anything!

   I think welcome bags are a great idea, and as a guest I always appreciate them, but as others have said, definitely not required. We had our wedding reception at a hotel with a lot of guests staying in the hotel. We toyed around with the idea of doing welcome bags instead of favors but ultimately we nixed the idea. I was…

   Ditto PP - definitely not necessary but a nice gesture if it's in the budget and your so inclined. We married in Montana so 90% of guests were OOTers.

It does NOT have to be expensive, I am a bridesmaid in a few weddings that all did this/are doing this. Here are some cheap ideas to fill the baskets. You could also just get pretty paper bags and fill…

    I don't think they are needed. My guests were spread out through at least 7 different hotels around the city. I did not have the time to run to all those hotels to leave bags for people.
