Guests who come from out of town to celebrate your big day deserve a little something special. If you’re trying to think of a special gift, a welcome basket is a great idea. Give these to guests when they arrive, so they can utilize them while they’re in town. Here are a few things you might want to add to the basket.

Necessary Information

If you have maps for your out of town guests that show them where the ceremony and reception will be, include these in your baskets. You may also want to include information on the map about local supermarkets, pharmacies, and other places your guests might need to access while they’re in town.

Snacks

Snacks are a great addition to any welcome basket. Make some homemade brownies, cookies or fudge to add to the bag. If you don’t have time, you can pick up some gourmet chocolates, packets of hot cocoa, or cappuccino mix. Other ideas include trail mix, sausage and jam platters, and gourmet crackers.
