Items that are a nod to the weekend itself. "A few ideas: are we sending guests on a golfing trip? Snacks + sunscreen. Wine tasting? Blanket for windy wineries, hydration supplement, and a hangover painkiller of choice. Hiking? Hair ties, refillable water bottles, and new socks! Get creative, but most importantly, get thoughtful Many people travel to weddings and ride share to their final destination, meaning heading out to grab one of these small items can be a $20+ trip, just in the transportation alone. Your guests will feel so taken care of when they see how much you're looking out for them." —Ashley Lachney, Owner, Alston Mayger Events
