For those of you who did welcome bags in guest rooms, did you also put bridal party/parents gifts in the rooms? Or did you wait till the rehearsal to hand those gifts out?

Did you give your bridal party separate welcome bags, too?

It would just seem strange to me to give out something to everyone *except* the bridal party and parents and wait on those.

What do you guys think?
 
We had welcome bags delivered to each of our guests rooms including the bridal party but that had things like water, snacks, itenerary etc.

The actual wedding gifts we handed out at our rehersal dinner. It was a bit easier because my mom had her car so we could tote everything around.
 
I did gift bags for every room with mostly the same things included. They all included soda, snacks, a few gifty-souvenirs, Advil, Band-Aids, sunscreen and bug wipes, tissues, Disney candy, Cinderella pens, Cinderella or Mickey lip balm, a dollar-store umbrella that I personalized with our names and the date, just in case and possibly more... they were full! :crowded:

I did personalize the contants of some of the bags, depending on who was getting them. For instance, for my MOH's daughter I included a Cinderella coloring book and crayons, for my Dad whose name is Donald I included a lanyard full of Doanld Duck pins, and for the moms I included special tissues I had found that said, "Because I'm the mom, that's why!" :rotfl:

I saved the bridal party and parent gifts for the reception and gave them as going-away presents, without putting them on the spot in front of the whole group. I was able to do this, though, because their gifts were not necessary for the wedding (no bridal party jewelry, for example.)

One thing I found to be indispensible was to get bags that zipped across the top - I bought them in wholesale lots on eBay - so that each bag was closed when they received it. Since most of the special items were obviously intended for one person, no one opened them together or found a need to compare.

I will add that my gift bags were really expensive and I'm sure a lot of snacks and things got left in the room, so I'd definitely downsize if I did it all again! :thumbsup2
 
I think what we will do is give welcome bags to everyone as they arrive (containing things like newsletter, snacks, park maps etc...)

and then hand out special gifts to MOB bridesmaids bestman etc... at the rehersal dinner

Lu- this is exactly what we did!
