Today we have guest blogger Kylie Laird of ACK Gift Bags with us to share her thoughts on must have items to include in your gift bags, and what services they provide for you for the perfect welcome to your guests:

A great way to show your appreciation and warmly welcome your guests “on island” is with a personalized Welcome Bag.  Your Welcome Bag is perfect for providing essential information on the weekend events along with incorporating the finest of local products or your personal Nantucket favorites. From the very moment your guests arrive they will feel like they are participating in a very special and memorable event.

A personalized welcome letter sets the tone for your destination wedding weekend. The letter can not only outline the weekend’s festivities, timing, suggested attire, transportation pick up points but also can provide  an insight into your favorite Nantucket activities, restaurants, beaches or bike trails. Your guests will love to have your insider scoop! They will also enjoy learning about you and your fiancé’s history with the island and why it is a special place for you both.

Our bags come in an array of color schemes and can reflect the signature colors you have chosen for your wedding weekend. Some great basics to include are Nantucket Nectars; Cape Cod Chips; chocolate covered cranberries; nautical shaped cookies or lollipops.  You can also include some fun items from your home town or city.  You may consider adding useful items: an umbrella for an early spring wedding; sunscreen for the golf tournament you have arranged or flip flops for a beach ceremony. Maps and island guides are a great inexpensive way to orientate your guests to Nantucket. Whether you decide on simple bag with local favorites or an elaborate tote stocked to the brim, keep it personal!

Once you arrive on island your focus should be on relaxing before the big day and enjoying your time with your guests. ACK Gift Bags will deliver your custom Welcome Bags to the downtown inns and hotels and ensure your bags are placed in your guest’s rooms prior to them getting off the ferry. It will be a very welcome surprise when your guests check in.

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your services Kylie!
