For the Guests: Vegas Wedding Survival Kit

For destination weddings, it’s often a kind gesture from the bride and groom that they provide a small welcome bag or gift for guests arriving. Set to be waiting for the guests when they arrive in their room or given out at a pre-wedding function, these kits often include thoughtful little items to make their trip a little easier.

Large hotels often charge a small fee to drop off the bags in a room, but I like the idea of giving these out at a small meet and greet party instead. Inside, the essentials for a Vegas vacation!

Honestly, you could make these little kits by visiting one of the Strip drugstores like CVS or Walgreens, but I’ve included sources online in case you want to make them ahead of time.

Thoughtful items include instant coffee, light snacks like nuts or granola bars, alcohol, first aid and personal care items, energy drinks, moisturizing items to cope with the desert dryness and day-after-the-party recovery items. I also love the idea of alerting your guests ahead of time for any hashtags to use for photos they take over the weekend so you can look back at them after all is said and done.
