We are getting married in Vegas with 50 guests. They are all staying at different hotels. We are taking them to lunch before the wedding and out to a club afterwards. My fiance and I conflicted about whether to leave gift bags at the hotels for our guests, which would include a Vegas map, sunblock, a personalized poker chip and a schedule for the wedding day. However, we won't have time to drop them all off at each hotel and shipping before is too expensive. He thinks we should give them a personalized poker chip at lunch with a place card holder. I'm worried that it would be rude not to get them gift bags and they won't know where to be for lunch/ceremony/club reception on the day of the wedding. Please help! Thank you!

Why not send the itinerary by e-mail or snail mail before the wedding and then leave a gift bag at each place setting at lunch? I understand you want your guests to have some of this before the wedding, but if it isn't possible then just do as your groom suggests and use the personalized chip and card as your favor? None of this is mandatory, though. Don't sweat the small stuff. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".

You could also provide email or snail mail the invitation to the lunch and then distribute the gift bags at the lunch. You want to make things as simple for yourself as you can, while still serving graciously as host to your guests. Nancy Tucker President of Weddings Beautiful US http://www.weddingsbeautiful.com
