Our Welcome Bags
Weddin Midweek is inwards total effect! Today we're finishing upwards the calendar week amongst our welcome bags. On Mon nosotros shared our inwards solid welcome bags for our marriage ceremony party, too straightaway I'm really excited to portion our total welcome bags for our guests! I'm truly happy amongst how these turned out, too nosotros create got some pretty cool items inwards hither yous definitely desire to add together to your stance list!
Yay! Really excited to portion our welcome bags -- I knew, merely similar the goodie bags nosotros gave to our solid guests, that I wanted to spoil our guests since they traveled all this means to live hither for our particular weekend. The excogitation was to fill upwards it amongst things nosotros equally a dyad love, things they would in all probability demand during their fourth dimension amongst us too a trivial extra fun items to build their weekend enjoyable!
Our guests were scattered all over the island, so in that location wasn't ane fundamental location nosotros could drib them all off (like a hotel). My master copy excogitation was to create a map too on Friday, crusade around the isle delivering them, but I was tired lol, too I didn't desire to go out the house. It was also raining, too some people were delayed so nosotros decided to merely manus them out at the welcome party.
It worked out this means anyway, so I'm glad I was able to create got dorsum that fourth dimension for myself that week! I mean value Fri nosotros instead watched a pic inwards the theatre, went into town for H2O ice cream too I believe I took a small-scale nap!! It was a cracking day, lol. So here's what nosotros lay within the bags...
If yous saw Monday's post, too so you're aware of our master copy excogitation to build our welcome bags amongst gable boxes. I bought them a dyad months agone too didn't truly mean value how everything was going to stand upwards for into them too and so when nosotros ordered the Zola kits I knew it wasn't going to work. But past times this fourth dimension I was merely kinda similar screw it too went along for the ride lol (#bridelife).
It wasn't until the similar week before we left that The Giftwell reached out to me introducing themselves too I was similar OH I NEED YOU. They truly specialize inwards making your entire welcome bag, but since I had already bought everything on the inside, I asked if they would merely desire to squad upwards for the pocketbook itself.
They create got some pretty cracking options at all cost points. If I were merely a tad more boujee, I would create got loved the boat tote, but I knew it was in all probability best to create the Jute tote. In the end, it worked out perfectly! The bags were sturdy too spacious, had a cracking trivial outer side pocket for our newspaper goods too velcroed nigh -- which was helpful amongst the weather!
The Giftwell also provided the tags amongst our monogram crest on ane side too our marriage ceremony impress on the other. They arrived pre-tagged too tied too! It truly did build the pocketbook so unique.
Paper Goods:
Brant Point Penny c/o: This was something I saw online too loved the stance of. It's a tradition to throw a penny overboard if you're leaving the isle via ferry too my identify unit of measurement has a particular affair amongst pennies, so I stance the 2 went manus inwards hand. I created these trivial cards via Zazzle, too I loved the means they turned out. We hot glued the pennies to the card too dropped them into their bags.
The master copy excogitation for almost all of our guests was to create got the ferry, so this worked out well, but last-minute White Plains aerodrome opened upwards flights to Nantucket for similar $150, too everyone ended upwards going that route. So I don't believe the pennies were used exterior of the ones Andrew, Jim too I threw. Either means -- it was ane of my favorite things inwards the bag!
Welcome Party Directions c/o: This was form of a sham since nosotros gave out our bags at the welcome party.. but the correct stance was there! The solid nosotros rented was inwards a novel evolution too thus non easily constitute on the map too Uber would elbow grease too create got yous downward a dirt path to teach there, so nosotros decided to build to a greater extent than precise directions. We also included walking directions from town, but that also went out the window since it was raining that black lol.
Welcome Note + Things to Do on Island c/o: This was a trivial programme that shared our weekend schedule amongst times too places, a welcome complaint from Andrew too I, too on the dorsum shared our favorite things to create too consume on the isle if they constitute themselves amongst some downtime!
Nantucket Map: This wasn't pictured equally it was inwards the side pocket, but Andrew went to the chambers of commerce downtown too picked upwards a handful of Nantucket maps amongst to a greater extent than detailed information on the island, too nosotros popped these into the bags. This is a uncomplicated (and free) stance for anyone else doing a destination marriage ceremony equally well!
Drinks:
Zola Kits c/o: THESE were AWESOME. I went to a Zola lawsuit a few months agone when they launched these too I was so inwards dearest amongst them I begged the Zola squad to pair upwards for our welcome bags! They had 2 dissimilar kits: ane amongst Vodka too a bridesmaid message too the other amongst tequila too a Welcome message. We manifestly chose the latter! It's called the Zola Paloma, too it's. SO GOOD.
It was such a fun too unique means to add together a nip to the pocketbook but create got it live something much cooler AND create got everything you'd demand to build a cracking cocktail! My sis too I opened a box (it serves 2 people!) before the welcome party, too it honestly was delicious, too I ended upwards drinking them the residue of the night!
mentioned it inwards my Zazzle postal service before this year. They were so inexpensive too slow to use/put on. It's merely some other trivial fun means to operate our marriage ceremony impress too build something custom for our guests! Zazzle is the best.
Custom Koozie c/o -- This was a last-minute add together (again from Zazzle) but ane I'm happy nosotros went with. I create got a large dominion on non giving marriage ceremony branded items to our guests, so this was a subtle means of doing so. One that volition assist them retrieve the marriage ceremony but non create got it live similar "KRISTA AND ANDREW ARE MARRIED" all over it, yous know?
Extras:
Tide to Go Pen -- I operate these all the time and stance it was practiced to merely give them inwards the box. Especially amongst all the white during the calendar week -- it's a practiced affair to create got on hand!
Advil Packs / Liquid IVs -- these were in that location to assist amongst the hangovers and/or merely overall exhaustion that came from a calendar week of partying lol. My sis swears past times these IV packs that yous merely add together into your H2O to assist rehydrate you.
Food/Snacks:
Aunt Leah's Fudge: This was a belatedly infinitesimal add together from our terminal trip before the wedding. I just love going inwards for fudge every fourth dimension I'm there, too on their wall, I ever run into their trivial marriage ceremony gift boxes. I merely couldn't resist! You tin flame completely customize them amongst your name, date, too whatever form of logo you'd like! Out of all the fun items inwards the bags, these were the most talked about!
Cape Cod Chips / Candy (chocolate and sweet) -- For some late-night snacks!
WHEW! That's it! If yous missed it, cheque out what nosotros gave our solid guests for their welcome bags HERE. And yous tin flame ever run into all wedding-related content HERE!
