Out of town guest, what to do for them…
What should we do for your out of town wedding guests…
So you’ve found the perfect venue, you have beautiful decor, a killer band or DJ, and great wedding favors and of course we are taking your photo and video so all is ok in that department, the big day is just around the corner, and you want to be sure that your out of town guests that have traveled many miles to share in your wedding celebration feel appreciated, and are left with good memories.
To ensure this, Peter Bruce Photo & team bELLE have some ideas, provide the following for your out of town guests…
Hotel Accommodations… Select a hotel, or a few properties in the area of your reception, and reserve a block of rooms for your guests. You should be able to obtain a good rate for your guests. Some hotels will provide free shuttle service for your guests to and from your venue which adds a really nice touch. Reserve room types that fit into all budgets.
Give them a Welcome Basket… When your guests arrive at the hotel to check in have a welcome gift basket waiting for them in there room. This basket should include basics like snacks, water bottles, and other items to use in the room, but a nice touch is to add some local items. For example if your event was in Napa/Sonoma wine area area you could provide maps to various wineries, or if your event is in a major city like New York then include some NY keepsakes and suggestions of attractions for them to see.A game of Monopoly for the area or a deck of cards.
Day After Brunch… One of the nicest things you can provide for your out of town guests is to have a brunch with them the next morning. It provides an opportunity for the bride and groom to have a relaxing and more intimate meal with those that took the effort to travel to share in your celebration. This brunch can also be planned with a local theme, offer bagels in New York, breakfast burritos or huevos rancheros in the West.
If you take these added steps your visiting guests will certainly leave with very fond memories of your wedding.
We hope this helps you with your out of town guests and as always let us know.
Best Regards Peter Bruce Photo & team bELLE
