There is one wedding favor that only out of town guests get at your wedding. When you book your block of rooms at the hotel of your choice, you are not actually booking the rooms, but rather you are getting a group rate on rooms which are set aside for your wedding guests. Here are several ideas that will ensure your out-of-town wedding guests will have a wonderful and smooth experience.
When your guests actually make their reservations, they pay for and book the rooms and the hotel should, by agreement, give you the names of who reserved rooms, the room numbers, and the number of occupants. Make sure that this is part of your agreement with the hotel or get another hotel.
Once you are informed of the number of rooms and the number of people occupying them, you need to prepare gift bags for each room, or if you are full of largesse, for each guest. In the case of children accompanying parents to the wedding ceremony and reception, you should consider an age appropriate, child friendly gift basket for each child.
Each of the room baskets should include a schedule of events for the duration of their stay at your wedding. It should include cell and home phone numbers of local family contact members, as well as maps of the area. The local chamber of commerce will gladly supply you with a sufficient number of brochures highlighting the local sights and points of interest.
The wedding guest basket should also include medical emergency information, and several pieces of fresh fruit. Usually, the bag also includes a few candy bars, for good measure. The most important part of the guest basket is a personal note from the bride and groom to welcome their guests which also explains where the guests are expected to be for pickup for transportation to the various events of the wedding.
When the wedding celebrations run from Thursday to Sunday, it is always a good idea to have some group outings planned along with the obligatory meals. Yes, many wedding weekends are actually expanding to three or four days or even a week.
