The Total Package!

What awesome weddings we have had the past few weekends!! One that particularly stood out was a four day event focused on the guests. Weddings are thought of as a day that is all about the bride and groom. But if you really think about it, isn't it just as much for the loved ones that are witnesses to the two people committing themselves to one another? This bride did an amazing job at making those guests, and especially the out of town guests feel welcome and comfortable for a weekend that was just as sweet as the couple.

Each guest from out of town received a bag full of all the goodies you see in the picture. It included snacks, DeBrand's chocolate, water, a map of Fort Wayne, things to do in Fort Wayne (along with some fun facts about the city), and a map that gave directions to and from each hotel, reception, rehearsal dinner, and other various locations for the events they had planned. It was truly a weekend for the guests. Thursday included a welcome dinner for all guests from out of town. Bridesmaids and groomsmen luncheons followed on Friday, along with the rehearsal dinner. Saturday was of course the big day! They provided childcare for anyone interested as well. Sunday followed with a brunch that everyone was invited to.

Personalizing, making care packages, planning extra events, or just keeping your guests in mind when organizing your wedding weekend, are just a few things that can make your big day really shine through. It is a small gesture that will make a big impact when your loved ones realized you kept them in mind, on a day focused on you and your future hubby.

You could tell all the guests had a wonderful time, and it was just simply a pleasant weekend. So if you're looking for creative ideas to make your special day one to remember, think about the guests, and it will be a day they won't forget!
