Since you won't be able to greet all your guests personally upon arrival, a welcome bag (or basket) is a great way to touch base with them right away. Here are a few suggestions on what to include.
Key Contact Info
Tell your guests how to reach the people you've designated as go-to contacts (family members, wedding attendants, and/or your wedding planner). Include both their cell phone numbers (be sure to get ones that work locally, even if you have to rent) and the landline number for their hotel rooms. Don't include your contact info -- most people won't feel comfortable bothering you, and you'll have enough on your mind already.
A Welcome Letter
Tell your guests how happy you are that they've made the trip with a short and sweet note. For simplicity's sake, use your computer to type and print the letters, but sign each one in ink for a personal touch.
A Detailed Schedule
List all of the weekend's events, including any optional ones. Include the time, location, dress code, flora dress and any other important details for each. Be sure to mention any extra costs for activities such as tours, lessons, sports activities, and so on.
Map of the Area
Ask the hotel to give you a reliable one -- don't trust something you find on the Internet unless it's posted by an authority like the chamber of commerce or visitor's bureau.
Info on Local Transportation
Bus schedules and the phone numbers of local taxi companies and car services will help your guests get around when they're on their own.
List of Local Restaurants
Include restaurant descriptions, locations, phone numbers, and price info, along with a selection of menus from places that deliver.
