The Guest (Gift) Lists—Welcome Baskets Filled With Local Flavor

Is there anything worse than wrapping up a long road trip, only to arrive at your lodging with an empty stomach and no snacks in sight? Or undergoing the barrage of airport security, squished airline seats, and lost luggage to find that the hotel’s sundry shop is closed for the night?

In some cases, your wedding guests will travel far and long to celebrate your big day with you. The best way to thank them is to welcome then warmly with a collection of personalized goodies, things to help them enjoy their time in your city (we recommend including a copy of our sister publication, D Magazine, to help them get better acquainted!), and, of course, a selection of the best local food and drink for when hunger strikes.

Here are a few of our favorite welcome bag treats. The best part? All of these items are made locally—giving your guests a taste of Texas and supporting small businesses, too!
