Fall wedding season is here in full swing, and whether your nuptials are just a few weeks away or you’re studying the trends in preparation for your wedding next year, the autumn backdrop will afford you plenty of opportunities for creative freedom!
Welcome bags have become standard fare for modern weddings, as you want to welcome your family and friends with style as they arrive for your wedding. Luckily, if you’re having trouble choosing items for these bags, your wedding season can inform your choices brilliantly. Don’t know where to start? Make sure these items are on your welcome bag shortlist for fall!
- Cold weather items
Fall’s biggest caveat is the weather, as there’s an equal chance that your nuptials will be chilly as they are unseasonably warm. To err on the side of caution, and give your loved ones a dazzling new fashion accessory, throw a piece of cold weather clothing in your wedding bag. Scarves, gloves and hats are great options that your guests will use long after the wedding.
- Weekend Itinerary
This is a must for any wedding welcome bag, but make sure to give yours a fall twist! Look into local fall events that your guests can attend in the run-up to your wedding is a fabulous way to keep them busy. Check out local town hall webpages, public message boards and other websites to give your guests plenty of options to explore the sites during their visits.
- Local Goodies
When your guests arrive, they are sure to be hungry and parched, so make sure to welcome them with some of the local fare! Candy from your favorite small shop, the best local beverages and a listing of the best restaurants will surely go over perfectly with your attendees.
- A Dazzling Tote Bag
You have to find the perfect vessel for your welcome gifts, so make sure it’s something your guests can use down the road! A monogrammed gift tote is a wonderful way to show your appreciation to family and friends for attending your ceremony, and they’ll think of you fondly every time they use it in the future!
