A welcome basket is a lovely way to welcome guests to your wedding weekend. A small basket, box or bag with a few hand-picked treats is just the thing to make friends and family feel like a special part of your big day. It lets them know that you're happy they're there and appreciate the effort they've made to come celebrate with you.

So, what to include in your wedding welcome bag? Think favourite snacks, sips and gourmet treats; scented candles or beauty products; pretty napkins or tea towels. You could pick a theme, like French or Italian-inspired, and source items local to your venue to introduce guests to the region. Consider adding personalized maps with your go-to spots highlighted, and a post-party recovery kit including supplies like Advil, eye masks and a can of iced coffee. Scroll on to discover a collection of ideas from real weddings, plus links to goodies we'd love to find in a wedding welcome basket.
