Finally! Our OOT Guest bags are done ... yay :)
Here is a sample of the letter I put inside each one ... I borrowed it from another bride, but changed it to work for our wedding - just in case anyone else is looking for something similar to "tweak" for their wedding:
Dear Family and Friends,
The waiting is finally over!! Welcome to sun, sand, and relaxation. Welcome to Pensacola! We are both so happy and feel very blessed to be able to have you here at our wedding. We are especially honored that you have traveled this far to be a part of our marriage celebration.
Marriage is not a culmination, it is a beginning; the beginning of a life that will grow and change in ways more wonderful than we can imagine. Many years from now when we look back upon our life, love, and this day, we will remember that it was not the flowers, music, nor food that made our day so special, our memories of sharing the beginning of our life as husband and life with you, our friends and family, will be what we cherish most. Having you here for our celebration has made our wedding truly wonderful and we thank you for sharing in one of our happiest occasions.
Included in your bag are some "goodies" to help make your trip a more enjoyable experience. In it you will find:
~The Agenda for the Wedding Weekend
~Maps to Destinations around town
~A few menus from our favorite restaurants
~A Pensacola Visitors Guide
~ A Naval Air Station Guide
~Water and snacks (for here or on the plane home)
~TIssues, Sunscreen, and Advil
We hope the next few days will be as memorable for you as it will be for us. If there is anything you need or have a question about, please do not hesitate to call. Here are important numbers where you can reach us at:
Thanks for coming, and we are glad you are here!!
With Love and Appreciation,
Kristin and Jeremy
