Being so close to the mountains we find a lot of couples are choosing to thank their guest with more than just a simple favour. We’re being asked to put together ideas for out of town guest boxes. We love brainstorming ideas for these!

Here are some things you can include:

Maps of the area you’re in, including dining guides, activity guides, a list of your favorite spots for shopping, going for coffee, etc. You can ask local publishers of the brochures for the area for large quantities and it’s usually free.

Local goodies – we all know when we head out to Banff, we stop in to get some fudge or some candy at Welch’s – so why not include a little treat too.

Your favorite things – do you and your groom have a favorite drink? Maybe include a little bottle of your favorite adult beverage with the recipe for it. Or how about a bag of your favorite chips or candy bar?

A thank you note – be sure to include a thank you note for your guests! We’ve had couples include  a “newspaper” for the weekend – a list of things to do including an itinerary of the wedding events.

Personalized water bottle – something easy to do, yet will be used by your guests! Why not throw in some advil for those who have a little too much fun at the wedding?

We’re working on some boxes for C+C’s upcoming wedding, stay tuned as we’ll detail out all the goodies we have in store for their guests!
