Welcome Gifts For Out Of Town Guests

2010-06-27T09:45:00.000-07:00

I just recently had the pleasure of planning a lovely bride’s dream wedding. After the ceremony, one of their guests approached me and complimented me on all the fabulous details of the day, down to the welcome bags that they found in their hotel room. She said it was such a nice treat to walk into their room and find a customized bag filled with drinks, snacks and wedding info. It was the perfect pick me up after a 2 hour drive.

Here is a list of items that you can place inside of your welcome bags that will surely bring a smile to your guest’s faces! Welcome bags are a great opportunity to introduce your friends and family to your hometown or the town you are celebrating your wedding in. Or a nice treat after a long trip.

WELCOME NOTE

Wedding Gown Tips: PERFECT WEDDING DRESSES

Choosing wedding dresses is one of life's most pleasurable dilemmas. Getting it right, however, takes some planning - and a little expert advice.

Here's a crash course in bridal wear.

Your wedding dress provides a chance to dress completely different than you do on any other day in your life, so feel free to pursue your bridal fantasies when you start shopping.

Experiment with different styles to see what suits your figure, and don't rule anything out based on how it looks on a hanger, many wedding dresses look odd without a figure filling them out.

How formal is your wedding? Generally, the more formal the wedding, the more formal the bride's wedding dresses. Also, keep the season of your wedding in mind, since some wedding dress fabrics might be too heavy or light for certain times of the year.

Consider your comfort, both physical and emotional. All eyes will be on you throughout your big day, so this might not be the best occasion to wear your first strapless wedding dress. And a body-skimming sheath won't let you kick up your heels on the dance floor as freely as you might like.

In each wedding dress you try on (and later at the actual fittings), try sitting, dancing, and hugging. Wave your arms around to make sure the shoulders and sleeves aren't binding. Pay attention to weight. Will wearing pounds of beading leave you exhausted? Will a full skirt present a tripping hazard?

Does the wedding dresses shape cry out for a higher heel than you care to wear? In general, try to visualize yourself wearing the wedding dress throughout your ceremony and reception. When the picture is right, you'll know it.
