The wedding welcome bag is one of our favorite trends in the industry! Not only are they fun to prepare, but it’s also an excellent way to enhance the guest experience. What better way to give your loved ones a taste of your wedding locale?
We love seeing wedding welcome bags filled with regional favorites, from sweet treats and beverages to sample itineraries and custom favors.
Wondering what to put in your Tri-Valley wedding welcome bag? Keep scrolling!
Wingen Bakery
Who doesn’t love a tasty treat upon arrival at a new destination? Wingen Bakery is a local favorite, so you can take your pick! Cookies, pop tarts, chocolate croissants — they have plenty of options to satisfy your guests’ sweet tooth!
Gerard’Z Honeybees
There’s nothing sweeter than welcoming your guests with a mini jar of honey! Better yet, Gerard’Z Honeybees will even make custom labels for your jars. Add an engagement photo, your wedding date, or a pic of your four-legged friend — the choice is yours!
Your favorite Livermore wine
A Tri-Valley wedding welcome bag wouldn’t be complete without a bottle of wine! Livermore is home to many beautiful vineyards, so why not add your favorite from our wine trail? You may also consider including a list of your fave wineries in the area, so your guests can check them out! Oh, and don’t forget the wine bottle opener and even a few personalized glasses!
Your go-to bars and restaurants
Out-of-town guests will have time to explore, but they may not know where to go for the best food and drinks! Provide them with a list of your must-try places so they can take in all that Livermore has to offer. Bonus points if you include personal notes about each place, like the site of your first date or proposal!
A list of nearby hikes
We are fortunate to have some beautiful hiking trails in the area, so why not offer up a list to your nature-loving guests? Consider adding some personalized water bottles or sunglasses to freshen up their experience!
