I'm not getting married until next May, but I was trying to develop some ideas for gift bags for our guests who are staying in hotels. What do you suggest? Right now this is what I have thought of:

- bottled water and juice

-microwave popcorn and assorted candy(lemon heads, gum, chocolate)

- Things to do in CHicago magazine

- Map to our wedding activities (bowling lane, conservatory and lazer tag)

Any other ideas are greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Individually packaged Tylenol or Motrin?

Is there any special culinary treat that your city is known for? something that is pre-packaged?

We had a Chicago wedding and had bags made with the Chicago skyline and added snacks, water bottles which we printed our own labels for, gum and then we made a brochure with the weekend wedding itinerary and fun things to do in Chicago.. you can see them in our album here: http://www.celebrationideasonline.com/wedding-gift-bags-for-out-of-town-guests.html

We are doing Wrigley's Gum, little bags of Garrets (we are bagging them ourselves to save moolah), bottled water, a map, restaurant recommendations, probably a Things to Do magazine, some other candies, Jay's potato chips and maybe some Kraft Easy Mac.
