For an evening reception, offer a basket of glow sticks or blinking lights to guests to
encourage them to shed their inhibitions.
GO PLAY
If guests are traveling in for your wedding or it’s a destination wedding, take advantage of
all the location’s nearby activities. Guests will love trying their hand at pastimes like fishing,
golfing and horseback riding. Research travel packages and specials at local resorts or recre-
ation centers close to where the wedding will be held.
SAY ‘THANK YOU’
Leave your guests with the perfect memento from the day.
Some of the most memorable items match the wedding’s
overall theme or the day’s activities - such as buckets
with sunscreen and flip-flops at beach weddings,
and from craftier couples, homebrew beer and
mason jars filled with fresh hydrangea. Give goodies
that can be easily carried back home on a plane
or train, such as beautifully made candies or truffles.
The gift itself isn’t as important as its portability,
elegance and meaning.
