Entertaining Your Out-of-Town Wedding Guests

   Great ideas on how to thank your family and friends who have come from around the world to share in your special day.
Gift Baskets
Surprise your out-of-town guests by placing a gift basket in their hotel room before they arrive in town. Stuff each gift basket with t-shirts bearing the wedding city's name, candy, trinkets or souvenirs that reflect the flavor of the town. Also, include a city map and tourist brochure so that they can cruise around town during the "free" time.

Wedding Newsletter
With just your computer, a printer and word-processing software program you can write, edit and layout a "Wedding Newsletter." In the newsletter, first compose a "thank you" message for these guests who were able to travel from faraway to witness this magical event. Then, explain the city or town's history while highlighting the various tourist spots and landmarks. Also, include the directions to the wedding ceremony and/or reception location from the hotel. Don't forget to list important phone numbers, in case of an emergency.

"Sunday" Brunch
If you can muster enough energy to wake up early the day after your wedding and you have not yet left for the honeymoon, a "day after" brunch is a great way to organize the troops for one last get-together. Extremely informal, the brunch can consist of sandwiches or barbecue with guests commenting about the previous day's activities. The "day after" is, also, a great way to mix and mingle amongst the guests who you don't get to see often (because they live far away) and did not have time to chat with during the "pre-wedding frenzy."
