Hey Ladies,

We are from Philly but planning our destination wedding in SB. We have about 30 guests. Any ideas for fun things to fill our Out of Town bags with?

Water, little travel sunblocks, different flyers for things to do, maps, snack foods….just a few ideas.

I love the citrus fruit from that area, I’d be happy with a bag of lemons and oranges.   Maybe something beach related

We made a booklet with addresses, directions, schedule of events, things to do near the hotel, places to eat, etc.  We also got maps and magazines from the local CVB for free!

ooo lovely!  still looking at locations but thinking about the chase palm park carousel.  luckily, Mr. Meowerson’s brother is a fantastic caterer in SB, so we need a place that will let us use an outside caterer. 

the doubletree is so gorgeous and i love how inclusive their package is!  which rooms are you using? i LOVE their plaza.

There is a fantastic little bakery/restaurant on State Street in SB called Anderson’s.  They have amazing cookies, kringle, etc.  A little something from there would be great to have in a welcome bag. 

Ok, now I want to go to SB this weekend and eat there.  mmmmm pastry.

Oh so pretty! When I think of SB mostly all I think of is wine, so I don’t have any good Out of Town bag gift ideas to contribute… unless you want to give everyone a bottle of wine. 😉 Santa Barbara coffee?

@ Mrs Meowerson-Would have loved to have it in the plaza but since I only have 30 people we will have in on the anacapa patio. Very nice but smaller from what I can tell in the pics.

@ Ladyox – thank you. We are going out there next week to wrap up all the loose ends I will definetly look for Andersons while we are there.

@ Spaniel – Now thats a good idea. Anyone know where to find inexpensive wine?

@ Miss Austin – Thats a good find. Now if I can just figure out how to screen print

@Ika:  are most of your guests from Philly?  Meaning, would generic ‘california’ type things work?

@Ika: If you don’t need them to be SB specific, check out Trader Joe’s when you get to CA. They will have a lot of California wines to choose from. Unless you’re looking at 2-buck Chuck, you can probably get it for $5-6+ a bottle.
