Wedding welcome bags are a fun and personalized gift to give your guests when they arrive for wedding weekend! Although they are not necessary, they are traditionally left in the hotel rooms of guests who are coming in town for the celebration and can include local treats, special favors, and possibly forgotten necessities. In this post, I will discuss thoughtful wedding welcome bag ideas that can fit every budget!

Below are gift ideas for parents to give on or prior to your wedding day! This is a collection of sentimental and practical gift ideas to thank them for their support that are sure to impress.

• Reflect on the type of celebration you and your partner envision. Is it an intimate gathering or a grand affair with an extensive guest list? Your wedding vision will influence the number of guests you can comfortably accommodate.

• It may help to categorize your potential guests into two groups – the 'must-haves' and the 'nice-to-haves.' The 'must-haves' are the individuals without whom your celebration would feel incomplete. The 'nice-to-haves' may include acquaintances, colleagues, or distant relatives. This categorization can be a helpful guideline as you refine your list.

• How do you feel about plus ones- Do all single guests receive a plus one? Do all adults receive a plus one? Are plus ones reserved for those who are engaged or in serious long-term relationships? Are there no plus ones?

• How do you feel about kids in attendance- Are all kids invited? Are only kids of close family members invited? Are no kids under 18 invited?

The wedding registry is the perfect place to curate a list of items to use throughout your marriage. Ensure your registry is a reflection of you and your future spouse- just because you see an item on every registry does not mean you need to add it too. Only add things you would truly use to make the most of the gifts you receive. Many online registries also have the opportunity to include gift funds or gift cards. You can designate gift funds for the honeymoon, home buying, or honeymoon excursions and dinners. Whether you have never lived on your own or you and your significant other have lived together for years and have many essentials, you can find great ideas to add to your registry below!

In this post I will list the pros and cons of having fake flowers, tips on how to make them look (and smell) real, give my cost saving tips and links to the exact products I used to create the look I wanted!
