A big hit that we have been finding as part of our guest welcome bags are our E.R. Kits.  We’ve done a variety of these over the years with different contents and containers. Today, we’re sharing tips on putting together your own “E.R. Kit”.

For this kit, to compliment the canvas and leather tote that was the Welcome bag, a small canvas zipper tote housed standard emergency items like band aides, pain relievers, and sunscreen. But, consider your wedding location as well. For this Aspen wedding, mini Oxygen sprays were included for altitude adjustments.

We have recently been working with a new company, Packlane to create custom printed boxes.  Lettered Olive works with us and our clients to design something that works with the wedding or party theme and then Packlane prints the containers- love it! The blue box housed interactive invitations for a 7 year old birthday party we did for a client recently, so they are perfect for custom mailers too!

For a recent client marrying in Charleston, we listed out all of the contents on the bottom of the box to minimize printing expenses and packaging inside the box.

For this fall Charleston wedding, contents included everything needed to survive the Lowcountry when we have our wonderful fall weather. Bug spray is a must- and here we have it combined with sunscreen- perfect! There are plenty of online sources for this spray so you can find your favorite.

We’ve had lots of requests lately as well for “Hangover” cures. Some of our favorites are Emergen-C packets and Party Smart pills.

Mountains

Here we are transitioning out of summer into the Fall wedding season. In many locales, the fall season by way of calendar starts before temperatures do. For an early fall wedding in Colorado, we created a guest welcome bag that used items with a seasonal feel that but that friends and family could transition throughout the year.

His and her S’well bottles in a wood grain look like fall but are perfect for year round, E.R. kits in canvas pouches offered guests everything needed to enjoy their mountain surroundings, and how cute are these custom embroidered fly fishing hats?

We pride ourselves in the South (especially Charleston) on our Hospitality. I feel that one of the things that has driven Soiree’s success is our ability to help our clients make their guests feel welcome. We are always working on coming up with beautiful, creative, and customized Welcome bags for our weddings. We love to personalize them to our couples- whether it be through using their favorite foods or items representative of the location, or printed/embroidered bags, or printed items (from Lettered Olive of course) that match the wedding papers.  Here are some that we have curated over the years.
