Use a map as an opportunity to play tour guide with your guests. Give each guest a map in their welcome bag marking great places to eat, areas and attractions to visit during their downtime, and where all of the wedding festivities will take place using the heart labels.
Give your guests a few extra heart labels so that they can mark their favorite spots as well!

Wedding Hangover Kit & "Mint To Be" Wedding Favors
For those that celebrated with you all night and are now trying to survive the morning after, provide them with a fun hangover kit. It's the perfect final touch to your wedding and it gets your guests ready to take on the next day! Especially if they still have more sightseeing planned.
The possibilities are endless with what you can put into your hangover kit. I included Advil, Airborne (or you could use Emergen-C), eye drops, and a box filled with mints with a label to help bring the welcome bag theme all together.

Wedding First Aid Kit
There is nothing worse than spilling a drink on your cocktail attire, getting a blister from dancing the night away, or having the strap of your dress break. Give your guests a first aid kit to save the day!
After all, a marriage celebration is 'in sickness and in health.' Creating this first aid kit tag takes a few extra steps.
Stick your label on a piece of white cardstock paper. And very carefully cut around the edges of the tag. Create a hole at the top of your tag using a hole puncher. Then, use a piece of string to attach the tag to your first aid bag.
