A majority of our guests are coming from out of town, and I definitely want to make sure we have some nice out of town bags for them. Our theme for the wedding is fall, so I thought it would be nice to sort of stick with a fall theme for the bags. I guess Fall/New York, even though we’re not getting married in the city–outside more upstatish. Which I guess is where the Fall ties in nicely.
I’d imagine I’ll wander into a dollar store sometime soon and try and find some nice stuff there. But in addition to doing that, I guess any other brilliant ideas that people would be comfortable with me stealing and making my own would also be appreciated. 🙂
I know lots of creative minds on here…so any shared creativity is greatly appreciated! Thanks all in advance!
