    soon2bS    September 18, 2010   Concord, NC; marrying in Dahlonega, GA

    We're having a semi-destination wedding, getting married in the North GA mountains where FI's family is from.  This means that 1/2 of our very small guest list will be travelling from out of state.   I want to have some OOT bags for them when they check in, but I'm not sure what to put in them. 

    I planned to put one bottle of water per person, some brochures & maps of the local area, but I have no idea what else? 

    Any suggestions?

    foood!!!! people love food and can do without the random junk.  of course local things are nice and necesitties for travelling like sunblock or coupons to local places.  even a coupon for discounted breakfast at the hotel would be nice!
