OOT Bags August 2006

   Everyone loves to receive a bag full of "freebies" at a promotional event. It's no different for those who have traveled far to witness your exchange of vows. Welcome your "out-of-town" wedding guests with a box or bag full of the town's local flair and products that will make their stay pleasurable. What exactly goes into an OOT bag, you ask? The following are just a few ideas:

LOCAL SOUVENIR T-SHIRTS
"I *heart* NY" t-shirts; "Don't Mess with Texas" t-shirts; "LOVE" Philadelphia t-shirts

BOTTLES OF WATER
If you can get your hands on un-branded bottles of water, create your own personalized water labels!

MIDNIGHT SNACKS
Crackers, cookies, petite cakes, nuts, sunflower seeds, dried fruit mix

WEEKEND ITINERARY
A detailed list of the weekend's events is absolutely necessary. Dates, times, maps, locations and phone numbers are key. Event examples: rehearsal dinner, softball games, wedding ceremony and reception, and "day after" brunch.

POINTS OF INTEREST
Highlight the local attractions for guests to visit and explore on their own time.

"WELCOME" NOTE
Welcome your guest to the locale and thank 'em for using some of their vacation days to share in your big day.
