Green Bride Guide With Exciting Guest Gift Bag IdeasDIY gift bags are a fun and easy way to add a personal touch to your wedding and say thank you to your guests for traveling on your special day.

(I strongly believe in supporting the local economy of both Maui,...

Gift Bag TreatI can't ignore it when a company sends a giant box of popcorn to our office. Nor did I want to once I tasted these delicious treats. These people are serious about their popcorn -- from savory to sweet. I tried a lot of their 12 flavors, and liked one better than the next. Reviews from the office place almond biscotti on top, twice-as-nice chocolate drizzle corn as decadent, and hall of fame kettle corn as a crowd pleaser.For hotel gift bags, Dale and Thomas have got you covered. The popcorn is fresh and delicious, the packaging is great, and the foot-long bag helps fill a gift basket. A...

A Wrinkle in Your Gift BagsWhen you’re picking out the bag for your Welcome Bags, keep in mind that paper bags will get smashed during transport. Moving gift bags from one location to another is a lot of work and they will inevitably get banged up and bruised. Even if you personally carry them one-by-one, many times the hotel employees delivering the bags won’t have as much finesse. Some great, non-smashable options that we’ve used in the past are: reuseable grocery bags, tied handkerchiefs or bandanas and mini beverage coolers. Not only will your gifts arrive to your guests in pristine condition, they’ll al...
