2. Coffee, Tea and Party

This welcome bag covers the coffee and tea lovers! Also, it is best if you and your partner love coffee or tea! This way, your guests can relate to the two of you, and really just also another way of revealing your stories to your guests! You can add a thank you card sharing how much you love these products and that you also wanted to share it with them!

4. The ultimate summer outdoor welcome bag

This is one of my fave welcome bags! Because this has the essentials! I mean, how many times have we gone to an outdoor wedding or event where it is too hot, and you just needed a fan? Or maybe some sunnies? Or even just a snack or water because you’re parched?

We’ve also added an SPF and an umbrella! Sometimes we are rocking a tube or spaghetti dress, and we do not want to get an uneven tan, of course! So they have an option to use an umbrella or an SPF!

5. You’re our jam

This is great if you have tons of guests from out of town. You can let them taste amazing local bakery by featuring some of their goodies! Here we paired biscuits with jam and cream cheese! To really complete the experience, we got matching utensils and mini plates so they can taste these goodies asap!

Wedding Welcome Bag Ideas - 5 — **[1]** Local Biscuits | **[2]** Local Jam | **[3]** Bakery Plastic bag (for the biscuits) | **[4]** Large Bakery Bag | **[5]** Pre-wrapped plastic utensil | **[6]** Small Plastic Plate | **[7]** Cream cheese packet

6. Fun Snack Pack

This is also our fave, for an undeniable reason, it has all the snacks! I’d say this is also great if you have some kids on your guests list and would like to keep them busy during cocktail hour! (maybe not the ceremony because you will hear the crunching of the snacks! so hold off giving this to the kids until after the ceremony!)

7. Sweet Welcome

Yep. Sweet as candy, baby! We love Sugarfina candies, mainly because they have such diverse and FUN flavors! Like this coffee candy (we are obsessed!) Also, the name of these candies is beyond cute!

8. The Ultimate Outdoor Wedding Welcome Bag

So we did a summer outdoor welcome; we also have to do a fall outdoor one! We got this set of throw blanket (because we need the extra warmth!), lotion (because it can get pretty drying when it’s cold!), chapstick (because our lips need some loving!), hand warmer (instead of or continually rubbing your hards for warmth, this hand warmer helps!), and of course, a BUG SPRAY; these suckers fly out in the fall, and you know they get pretty annoying!

Wedding Welcome Bag Ideas - 8 — **[1]** Black paper bag with gold bow | **[2]** Cozy throw blanket | **[3]** Hand lotion | **[4]** Hand Warmer | **[5]** Chapstick | **[6]** Bug spray
