Welcome/Hotel Bags

While I wait for our wedding invitation envelopes to come back from the calligrapher (sometime next week!) I've started to think and get stuff for our Hotel/Welcome bags.

I think I've thought about them waaaaaaay too much lately, but since everyone is from out of town and staying in the hotel, we want to make sure they are comfortable and have some goodies and knowledge of Frederick.  Since most guests haven't ever been to Maryland I tried to get lots of MD stuff.

So far I have:

-bottled water
-Baltimore's famous caramel creams (so good!)
-Utz's Crab chips
-MD postcards (to tie onto the bags)
-Destination Frederick Magazine (they were so nice and gave me 50 copies for free!)
-Downtown Frederick maps + brochures
-personalized playing cards (Joe's family loves playing cards)

That's what's sitting in the guestroom right now... it's starting to get cramped in there.  I'm thinking of getting some other local goodies- like Catoctin Mountain Orchard's apple butter and Ralph's Cookies to finish off the bags... anything else I should include?

Time get get a move-on.. headshots in an hour and a wedding tomorrow- busy busy!

Plus, next week I get to make an exciting announcement :)  Probably on WEDNESDAY :)

How about your favorite snacks or candy? We put peanut M&M's (my favorite) and almonds (Brad's favorite) and people loved it.

Also, mini bottles of water and mini packets of asprin.
