Offbeat Bride Tribe member krissybeth just won my heart with her welcome bags for her Las Vegas wedding. These guys included a very special emergency kit that is WAY too perfect for a weekend in Vegas.
Emergency kits for your BBQ wedding reception
We wanted to make favors that would be useful, so I totally borrowed an idea from the welcome bag with an awesome, party-friendly, "emergency kit"... Read more
They pulled their wedding theme from their awesome invitations from Royal Steamline — a vintage circus-y feel. They were looking for something for their guests' arrival that would also tie in their wedding theme. They decided that vintage-style popcorn boxes would make an awesome, theme-appropriate receptacle.
But what to put in these perfect popcorn boxes? Well, since it's Vegas, they expected a few overindulgences, so (being super-kind to the lushes on their guest list) they packed the rest of the box with helpful supplies. You know, just in case:
They included a cellophane bag containing a small V8 can, a mini-bottle of Smirnoff, and a tiny Tabasco sauce for Emergency Bloody Mary kits! Wow. I could have used a few of those during my wedding planning actually. But I digress…
They also included a tiny kraft-paper bag stuffed with a disposable towelette, a package of Aleve, and a package of Pepto Bismol tablets.
They also wanted to include a “caffeine fix” and while forty Red Bulls were out of their price range, they instead added a Starbucks Via instant iced coffee to keep their guests going.
And they topped it all off with a pint glass. They found these customizable glasses and added a logo from their wedding invitations. Kristen said, “We were so surprised at the quality for the price — we paid $110 for 40 glasses, and they're awesome. Nice, heavy glasses, and the imprint is beautiful.”
Top 'em all off with their adorable “we think you're super” gift tags and you got yourself one awesome “welcome to Vegas” slash “here's help with that hangover” guest bags! And I'm sure their guests will love them for it.
