Or out of town baskets as I know them as... Who gets them?
Did people make them for all the people staying the night at the hotel, or just the out of town guests.
I suppose if it is called a welcome basket everyone gets em and an OOT one then just out of towners?
I have several people flying in for the wedding from the east coasts, however I also have quite a few (10 couples or so) that are local but chosing to stay at the hotel because of drinking/late night driving issues.
I was planning to just make baskets/bags for those that traveled a great distance to attend (aka flew). Is this wrong?
I suppose when it comes to giving a gift nothing is really wrong. I jsut mean to say, will local guests feel slighted?
Truthfully, I was just planning to make these to kind of honor and show extra appreciation for the added inconvenince and cost that certain people experienced to attend. Now I am thinking it might be rude to exclude people that didnt have to fly but are still staying the night at the inn.
What do you all think? If you lived locally but got a room for a wedding because you didnt want to drive after, or whatever reason, and you saw welcome baskets for some guests or found out that some had them, would you feel slighted? (i think there were a few too many commas in that last sentence...)
Even if I had the baskets delivered to the rooms and not given to guests upon check in, I think other guests might find out about the.
Whats the consensus here? What did those offering baskets do when catering to both oot and local guests?
