Welcome Notes for Out-of-Town Guests

Out-of-town guests have gone to great effort to be at your wedding and they deserve to be acknowledged and appreciated. Write little "Welcome" notes and leave them at the guests' hotel or bed and breakfast. Include helpful items such as refreshments for after their journey, maps and information about the area and a schedule of events. Here are some ideas for creating welcome notes: • Use handmade paper to roll scrolls fashioned with a pretty ribbon • Elegant note cards come ready-made and include envelopes. • “Plantable” handmade paper in a translucent vellum envelope makes a compelling presentation. These little gestures will make the visit extra special for your guests and show that you care. Article featured in August 2005 issue of Wedding Monthly.
