For our destination wedding, I knew we were going to do welcome bags. I wanted to welcome our guests with some creature comforts after their long flights and drives to Carmel. I scoured the web/pinterest for hours thinking of what would be both budget-friendly and useful on this vacation. I came up with a few items that were in our budget.
Our welcome bags included:
- Re-useable Tote bag (purchased from Pick Your Plum)
- Handmade elastic hair ties
- Itinerary + Welcome letter
- Local beer / box of wine
- Custom bottle koozie
- Flip flops
- Candies
- California Guidebook
Here are 70 more ideas for your welcome bags! Enjoy.
