We’re having our wedding in Oregon (where I grew and half my family still loves) on the coast. Most of our guest will be traveling from Ohio and may stay for at least the weekend, some for a whole week. We obviously will not be able to entertain them the entire week but will have get togethers and events the weekend of the wedding.
Instead of a tin of mints or some favor that will be thrown out anyways I’m having the hotel put gift baskets in all the rooms of our guests. I want to include things like bottels of water, sunscreen and a lst of locations to visit and things to do in the area (with directions and contact info). But I’m at a loss on other things to include as well as what to put everything in.
I am on a budget but I dont have too many guests and it will be one basket per couple/family). Any idead would be greatly appriciated.
Also any beach wedding ideas or experiances would be lovely.
Thanks so much!
So many great ideas! Here’s list so far:
Bottled water
Sunscreen
Salt water taffy
A mix cd of songs my fiance and I like (or are beach appropriate)
A list of place to visit and things to do in the area (complete with directions, and contact info)
Some info on the tidepools in the area and the creatures that dwell there. (Should be fun for the kids to go out and try and find the animals).
An itenerary of wedding activities throughout the weekend and a welcome note from my fiance and family.
And some sort of kids package, most likely some cheap sand toys. Me and my fiance spent lost of time at the beach building sandcastles with my little cousins, so this will be cute.
Thanks for all the great ideas! Keep them comming!
