If you’ve been dreaming of adding wedding welcome bags to kick off your unforgettable weekend but aren’t sure what to include, we’ve got you covered!
At Lavender + Pine, we know that not every couple has the budget to outsource guest gifting-so we created a DIY Wedding Welcome Bag Guide on our Amazon storefront to help make things easier (and prettier!).
Why DIY Wedding Welcome Bags?
You don’t need to break the bank to create a thoughtful and beautiful welcome gift. With a little time and a few helping hands, you can DIY your gifts and add a personal touch your guests will remember.
(Fun fact: I DIYed my own wedding gifts too!)
The key to a great DIY gift is simplicity, presentation, and personalization.
Have fun mixing and matching your favorite snacks, drinks, and packaging options to make your bags feel like they’re from the two of you-because they are!
