For your wedding, friends and family will travel from all around to come and celebrate your special day with you. Although you won't be able to greet all of your out-of-town guests when they arrive at their hotel, you can greet them and thank them for coming by having special welcome gift packages awaiting them in their hotel rooms. What you choose to welcome your guests with can set the tone for the rest of your celebration- it can prepare them for the fun they are about to have.

1. Wedding Magazine

   • Create a magazine for your event that will allow your guests to have all of your wedding information at their fingertips. Typical wedding information that your guests will require may include the timetable for your event and contact information of a reliable person who will know all the details about your big day. You should also include relevant information about the local area including restaurants, taxi numbers, a map of the area and any sights that your guests may want to visit.

     A welcome and thank-you letter is a nice way to open your magazine. You could also create your own word searches and crosswords that your guests can have fun completing. Try putting together some fun customized "quizzes" that you often find in typical magazines. Layout the magazine pages with photos of you and your fiance, along with photos of your friends and family, creating a personalized keepsake that your guests can take with them to remember your wedding day.

   Snack Pack

   • The cost of items from a typical mini-bar can be a little scary. By providing packages full of snacks in your guests' hotel rooms, you can save them money and make them feel welcome at the same time. Include things like bottled water, tea and coffee, chocolates, cookies and fruits. You can customize the food packages, so that they represent local specialties or your particular tastes. You can also customize the packaging to fit the decor of your wedding. Tie off the baskets or boxes with ribbon that matches your wedding colors- label items with customized wedding tags.

   Party Pack

   • If you have planned your wedding to include a wild and fun night of partying, you can amp your guests up. Get them prepared with pre-party packages including energy bars and drinks. Provide some flip flops for dancing the night away. You can also offer them post-party packages that include bottled water, ibuprofen, antacid tablets, dry soda crackers and eye-makeup remover, to help them feel their best the morning after.

   Emergency Kit

   • If you are a bride that loves to be prepared for anything, you can pass along that preparedness to your guests by welcoming them with a wedding emergency kit. Include adhesive bandages, ibuprofen, breath mints, lip balm, stain-remover, a hair band, dental floss, tissues and other emergency items you think your guests might need. Friends and family members will appreciate you remembering all these little things they may have forgotten. You can make the gift extra special by putting it all together in a cute, customized tin that will fit easily into a purse or bag.

   Clothing and Accessories

   • No matter what time of year you are celebrating your wedding, there is always the possibility of surprise weather. You can welcome your guests with customized umbrellas in case of a spring shower, parasols and fans in case of a scorching summer sun, pashminas in case of a cool fall breeze, or mittens in case of a cold snowy winter day. By customizing each piece, your guests will be sure to remember your wedding each time they use their special gifts.
