North Carolina Wedding Guest Welcome Bags

Corey and I wanted our guests to feel welcomed to the great state of North Carolina properly. I am from NC. He is from New Hampshire. More than half of our guests were coming from out of state. They were coming from New Hampshire, Maryland, New Jersey, Indiana, Rhode Island, New York, Virginia, Florida, California, Massachusetts and I'm sure I'm forgetting some places. Some guests had never been to North Carolina and I can even think of a few who had never been to the south before.

We wanted to greet our guests with little local goodies and a note from us.

We included Cheerwine, Pepsi (born in the Carolinas!), moonpies, a local magazine and a few postcards. We added other snacks like granola bars. We also included these two notes as a welcome and for wedding weekend details. They were distributed as guests arrived at the hotel.

Dear Family & Friends,

We are so excited to welcome you to North Carolina!

We have been anticipating sharing this special wedding weekend with you for a long time. We hope that your experience will be enjoyable and memorable. We have left a few local goodies to help you start out your trip with little tastes of North Carolina. You will also find a list of places you may want to see during your visit.

If you have any questions or need any help, please call Amy’s brother, Jeff Alexander at 704.xxx.xxxx.

Thank you so much for taking the time to come all the way to Mooresville, North Carolina to celebrate our wedding!

Love,

Corey & Amy
