Sheridan Butcher | Get Married Host:

Hey guys, this is Sheridan from get married. If you’re anything like me, then you have some guests that are coming from out of town to your wedding. So not only do they have to either book a flight or pay for the gas to get to your wedding and then pay for a hotel to stay for the weekend. Um, so I figured I’d show you guys a great way to show them that you’re thankful for making the trip.

So the way that me and my fiance are doing it is we’re going to make welcome bags to sit in the hotel room. This is really easy. Most hotels you can go in and say, here are the bags that I have for my room blocks and any rooms that are blocked, they’ll go ahead and put them in there for you. So these are super easy. You just go get these bags. Um, I got these from a local craft store in my area. They’re just plain craft bags.

And then I went online from a printing company and I got some custom stickers printed. They say “Welcome! and Thank You for Helping Us Celebrate Our Big Day!” And they have my fiance and mine’s name. And then they also have the date of our wedding on them. We also have some makeup wipes, which are perfect for men, women. It’s just a good thing to have. We have a few bottles of water, some snacks, and then we also have a local magazine that just kind of talks about, you know, the different things to do in the area. So these are super easy to put together. So I’m just going to take the bag and put one of these stickers right in the middle.

So I am going to put one of these little magazines in there. Uh, like I said, it just kind of has like little things like some chefs, some places to eat, some cool places to check out. Especially if your guests are coming for the weekend, you know, they might need something to do when they’re not at the wedding. So put that in there, got bottled water, a bag of chips, a granola bar, makeup wipe. And then I got these bottle openers. I just thought these were a cool touch. I got them for next to nothing online. Um, and they’re super cute. They look like a ring, um, and they came with these little tags. So on these little tags, I’m going to write, “thanks for coming – heart, S and S” Because my fiance’s name starts with an S too. Like that. And we will put that in there and there you go. You have a welcome bag for your hotel guests!
