With close friends and family often spread across the country and beyond, no doubt some of your guests will be traveling from quite a distance to be a part of your special day. Why not welcome them with a gift basket to help them feel at home as well as showcase the property, city and region you have chosen for your wedding?
A basket is a perfect place to include a personal welcome letter or any information guests may need such as phone numbers for friends and family, lists of planned events, local attractions, area maps and so on. Including small comfort items like bottled water, snacks, mints, and maybe a bottle of beer or two provides a nice welcome and eases your guests into the wedding weekend. Adding a small souvenir item such as a wine key, tumbled marble magnet or coaster, or custom-printed pint or wine glasses is a savvy way to thank your guests for coming and send them back home with a little something to remind them of your special day for years to come.
Your sales coordinator is happy to assist you in selecting items to showcase the property and region while offering tips and tricks for remaining on budget. (Typically, it's one basket per hotel room, not per person. If you have a number of guests staying in one room, or renting one of the guest houses, simply add a few more of each item to the basket.) Our hotel staff will either personally deliver the baskets to your guests' rooms or will hold them at the desk for check-in. The choice is yours, and you have one more item to cross off your to-do list.
