Welcome bags are a fabulous way to greet your wedding guests and make them feel cherished as they embark on your special day with you. Here are some creative DIY ideas to make your wedding welcome bags both functional and personal.
1. Practical Items
Include essentials such as sunscreen or toiletries for convenience. Guests always appreciate thoughtful items they might have forgotten.
Some ideas to consider:
- Travel-sized Sunscreen: Keep safe under the sun with a portable sunscreen. Perfect for daytime weddings and events.
- Mini Toiletry Kit: Ensure freshness all day with a mini toiletry kit. Ideal for last-minute touch-ups.
- Moisturizing Lip Balm: Prevent dry lips with a compact lip balm. A thoughtful addition to any welcome bag.
2. Hangover Kits
Prepare for the day after with a hangover kit featuring pain relievers and electrolyte packets. These kits have been lifesavers at several weddings I’ve attended!
Might be a good match:
- Pain Reliever Packets: Ensure quick relief from headaches and discomfort with handy pain reliever packets in each kit.
- Electrolyte Hydration Powder: Recharge and rehydrate quickly with easy-to-mix electrolyte hydration powders after a fun night.
- Cooling Eye Masks: Soothe tired eyes and reduce puffiness with refreshing cooling eye masks in your hangover kit.
