Welcoming Out of Town Guests

When guests travel great distances to celebrate your special day, you should show your appreciation with a few simple gestures. Here are some of our ideas…

Host a Special Gathering for Your Out-Of-Town Guests

Since many guests arrive a few days early for an out-of-town wedding a pre-rehearsal dinner reception is a great way to welcome your out-of-town guests. The reception does not have to be costly and can be as simple as a backyard barbeque. Little touches like wedding favors that match the theme of your wedding can make your welcome reception even more special.

Have a Welcome Gift Delivered to Your Out-Of-Town Guests’ Hotel Room

Welcome gifts can make your out-of-town guests feel welcome when they arrive in their hotel room. There are lots of wedding favors available that also make great welcome gifts or you can have a regional specialty delivered to the rooms. Since these welcome gifts are going to be delivered to hotel rooms gifts that make your guests feel more at home, like cookies or special soaps, are perfect choices.

Welcome baskets are a more elaborate way to welcome your out-of-town guests. You can make simple welcome baskets by adding a few goodies as well as pamphlets and brochures to local attractions. Including a special note for each couple in the basket will make your welcome basket truly exceptional.

Plan Few Group Activities

Spending time with your guests is one of the best ways to make them feel welcome at your wedding. One way to spend more time with your guests is to plan a variety of group activities. Golf tournaments, spa days, and even flag football matches will not only make your guests feel welcome, they also allow the guests to get to know each other better.
