The Bag
Any dollar store gift bag would be great, but we wanted ours to be reusable and function as part of the gift itself. These custom totes from Etsy were exactly what we had in mind!
These bags from Etsy are adorable. We loved the modern design and the fact that guests could reuse these beyond the wedding weekend. You can customize them to include your location, names, and event date. We did 1 bag per room with 2 of each of the g...
Destination Wedding Welcome Tote Bag
For Sentimental Value
The most important part of the welcome bag for us was the warm welcome note we left for our guests in the form of a pamphlet. It helped to set the loving tone for the whole weekend.
This was the most important thing in our welcome bags. We wanted to greet guests arriving at the resort to a cute bag full of treats and a heartfelt note to thank them for traveling all that way to celebrate with us. We started with a welcome and tha...
Welcome Pamphlet
To Keep Cool
If you’re going to a beach destination, chances are your event is going to be HOT. Guests will appreciate gifts that can help them keep cool.
These are my #1 recommendation if you’re having a destination wedding at the beach. We went to a tropical climate in the summertime and hosted all events from the ceremony to the reception in the sand. We were lucky enough to have a gorgeous sunny da...
USB Rechargeable Handheld Fan
Our second biggest hit was these pool floats! Before they’re inflated, they’re small enough and lightweight enough to fit easily in your suitcase. They’re easy to inflate once you get there, and they deflate easily and fold up nicely for guests to pa...
Inflatable Pool Float
I love a custom cup, and these were the cutest! We wanted to give our guests something to use to mix their Liquid IV, sip some water in the hot sun, or refill their cocktails at the swim-up bar. This is also one of those gifts that I would absolutely...
Personalized Wedding Cups With Palm Tree
For Fun
Fun, unique, and functional gifts your guests are sure to enjoy!
Hear me out. You’re chilling on the balcony overlooking the resort and enjoying the warm ocean breeze while sipping a nightcap. How could you possibly take this blissful night to the next level? A deck of cards! Pull out the cards, play games, talk, ...
Custom Deck Of Cards With Palm Tree Design
This is another thing I thought people wouldn’t take advantage of, but they ended up freaking loving them! It was easier to identify their chairs in a large row of chairs and resort towels that all looked the same, and it helped keep their towels in ...
Chair Clip Towel Holders
Tequila, anybody? If you’re the partying type of couple, shots may play an important role in your reception...and the rest of your vacation. Give your guests the gift of a cute shot glass to get their party started and help them continue it once they...

Products to take care of your guests!
Everyone probably packed SOME, but you’d be surprised how many of your guests didn’t pack quite enough. They probably threw 1-2 travel size sunscreens into their suitcases and hopped on the plane, but once they arrived, they quickly realized just how...
1.0 oz Travel Size Sunscreen
This goes great with the sunscreen. It’s extra protection for everyone’s lips in the blistering heat and the dehydration they’re sure to experience from the open bar. It’s also available in a coconut flavor to match the island vibes!
Lip Balm With SPF
Despite your best efforts, sometimes people are going to burn, and just like the sunscreen, the resort will mark up the price of aloe drastically. But here you are saving the day again with these individual aloe packets! Your guests will be so gratef...
Aloe Vera Gel Travel Packs
The morning after a wedding can be rough, but Liquid IV can help your guests recover by the time it’s time to start day-drinking at the pool the next day. If you’re going to an all-inclusive resort, these are SO appreciated by the guests who didn’t t...
Liquid IV - Pina Colada Flavor
An open bar and an all-inclusive resort are sure to get the best of us, so get ahead of it by offering your guests some Tylenol. It’ll help with the hangover, the pain of a severe sunburn, or a mild injury from an adventurous excursion off the resort...
Individual Acetaminophen (Tylenol) Packs
Again, the open bar and all-you-can-eat vibes are bound to catch up to you, and this is one of those things most people don’t think to pack. And as always, the gift shop at the resort will charge a criminal amount for necessities like this. But you’v...
Individual Antacid Packs
You never know when someone will need one. Whether it’s blisters from shoes or mishaps by the pool, someone is bound to need a bandaid during their travels, and it’s another one of those items that gets forgotten on the packing list. Have one handy i...
