Curated welcome gifts! Wedding Welcome Bag Ideas: TOP 10!

This site contains affiliate links. For more info please see our full disclosure.

Welcoming your guests with a thoughtful gift (something they will actually use/consume!) leaves such a great impact! Show them how much you are grateful that they have been part of your relationship/journey, and also how they get to celebrate with you on your special day!

We’ve rounded up our top 10 welcome bag ideas that you can also use for your wedding!

  1. Classic Welcome Cheers
  2. Coffee, Tea and Party
  3. Hot Cocoa Love
  4. The ultimate summer outdoor welcome bag
  5. You’re our jam
  6. Fun Snack Pack
  7. Sweet Welcome
  8. The Ultimate Outdoor Wedding Welcome Bag
  9. Shots and holes
  10. Charcuterie Welcome

Let’s go over these ideas in detail!

1. Classic Welcome Cheers

This is a classic welcome box! You got your wine and nuts, along with a sweet and personalized thank you card!

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!

3. Hot Cocoa Love

Let’s talk some cocoa! Send a welcome box with different varieties of hot cocoa and a reusable mug! Incorporate your story into the gift by adding notes to each product and telling them how much you love it or a story attached to that product!

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!)

Wedding Welcome Bag Ideas - 6
[1] White Box | [2] Satin Ribbon | [3] Popcorn | [4] Chips | [5] Lemonade | [6] Mini Bottle | [7] Dark Chocolate Snack

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!

    Will the charcuterie go bad? If it was packaged days before?

    Hey Lia. If you keep it in the fridge, it should be able to be good until the next day. Suggestion: you can put the cold cuts in the cups already and stack them in the fridge, so on the day off, you can just add the crackers (they will not soften!) 🙂
