Your friends and family have gathered together to witness your union with your future life partner. They’ve cleared their schedules, saved their pennies, chose the perfect gift, and traveled from near and far to make sure they were in attendance on your wedding day. Their presence means the world to you and you want to find a special way to let them know how much you appreciate them being part of your wedding day. Here are some meaningful ways to say “thanks” to your wedding guests.

Welcome Signs
The best form of appreciation for your wedding guests is to make them feel welcome at your wedding. Welcome signs posted outside of your wedding venue sends that message loud and clear. The bride and groom can write a brief, but sweet message letting everyone know how much they mean to you.

Welcome Bags
For family members that came from out of town, welcome bags can be a great sign of appreciation. Handing out bags filled with goodies and toiletries they’ll need during their stay will help them out and make them feel welcomed. The friendly staff at the Ramada Inn & Suites of Toms River will be more than happy to hand out your welcome bags to guests.

Wedding Favors
Gifts are always a nice token of thanks. You can go the extra mile and give your wedding guests a special thanks with wedding favors. These are small items that are provided to guests at your reception. They can be anything from candles and mini bottles of champagne to tiny photos of the bride and groom or sweet treats.

Bride and Groom Speeches
Before the reception comes to an end, the bride and groom can share exactly what’s on their hearts by giving a speech. Thank your guests for coming and let them know how much them being in your lives has meant.

Videos
Thank you cards are great, but a more personalized way to say thanks to your guests after the wedding for their attendance and gifts is to record a video. The bride and groom can record personal messages and email them or share them on social media for everyone to see.

If not for your friends and family, you wouldn’t be the person you are today. They are coming together to celebrate one of the most joyous occasions of your life. Let them know how much that means to you with some of the creative and meaningful ideas listed above.
