Hotel Welcome Bags – Tips to get your information read

Weddings are often filled with out of town guests who have to stay near the venue in order to safely celebrate your big day with you! Consider welcoming guests to the hotel with a welcome bag full of goodies!  Place your hotel welcome bag at the front desk and have the receptionist pass them out upon check in. Find some ideas on what to include in your welcome bag and how to get any instructions read prior to your big day!

While hotel welcome bags are not a required element for your big day, it’s always a nice treat to have for your guests for all the prep time getting ready to attend a long night.

There’s a large range of goodies you can include in hotel welcome bags: water, snacks, mints/gum, or aspirin. In Vanessa’s bag above, she included Rice Krispies Treats with the write-on wrapper that included their initials and date. In other bags, we’ve also received homemade baked goods, pamphlets for local activities, and even custom door hangers (something along the lines of “recovering from so&so’s big day!”)

For our bags, I decided to go the traditional route of basic snacks (granola bags, chips, Twizzlers, chocolates, gum) and water.

At hotel check in, these bags are often complimented with a details sheet with more information on transportation etc. I was worried guests might not look into the bags to find the information before it was needed. Instead, I attached the details sheet in a coordinated tag style onto the front of the bag. All the information they needed (transportation times to/from the venue, after party details and breakfast options) were hard to miss right on the front of the bag they picked up at check in.

      Hi Barbara. The font I used was copperplate gothic light.

    Hello I am trying to attach my wedding information cards in front of the bag like the one seen above using hole punch and string. Can you describe how you did the string. We can’t seem to get it.

      Hi Jennifer! No problem! First I held my card at the top of my bag and punched two holes at the top that went both through the front layer of the bag and the card. It did not go through the back of the bag as the card is only attached to the front side of the bag. Next thread the baker’s twine from the front of the left hole, through the back of the bag and come back out to the front in the right hole. Repeat that step one more time, going through the front left hole and come back out through the front of the right hole. Trim your threads. I made little knots on both sides with the loose threads that were hanging, but purely as decoration I guess. Hope that helps! If you do this technique, I’d love to see it! I’m always looking for submissions for a “Reader’s Feature!”

    I love the information piece on the front. Where did you get the paper? Did you trim it yourself or did it come already shaped?

      I designed the copy and printed it on regular white cardstock then I trimmed it to that shape and added the hole with a hole punch. Its all DIY-ed :)
