When your wedding guests have traveled from all over the country (and maybe the globe!) to come to your Charleston destination wedding, you certainly want to show your appreciation with a great party and thoughtful touches. At Dodeline, we’re very in tune to the wedding world, and that’s part of why we love creating fun gift items that work beautifully in wedding welcome bags.<\/p>\n

7 Ideas for Charleston Wedding Welcome Bags<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/h4>\n

1. Notepads \/ Jotters<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sweet Charleston notepads<\/a> are easy on the wallet and can be paired with a fun pen for an easy, thoughtful addition to a wedding welcome bag.<\/p>\n

— Or, shop on Etsy<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

2. Food!\u00a0 Always food.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Benne wafers have been a Charleston staple for decades.\u00a0 In fact, benne wafers were the wedding favor at my wedding many years ago!\u00a0 Some couples also choose to include their favorite food items from their hometowns, which is a great way to bring the whole event full circle.\u00a0 Olde Colony Bakery<\/a> is the go-to for these and many other yummy favorites.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. Tea Towels<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Is there anything cuter but also more useful than a tea towel?\u00a0 Hanging in the kitchen to dry your hands, clean up quick messes, and make you smile when you walk by and remember that fun Charleston wedding weekend.\u00a0 They are an awesome item to include in a welcome bag!\u00a0 We have many Charleston tea towel<\/a> designs to check out – perfect for any style.<\/p>\n

— Or, shop on Etsy<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

4. Coffee Mugs<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Pair a Charleston coffee mug<\/a> with a bag of local coffee from one of our many local shops.\u00a0 The perfect combination for your guests to have handy after a big night of fun!<\/p>\n

— Or, shop on Etsy<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

5. Palmetto Roses and\/or Sweetgrass\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sweetgrass basket weaving is one of the most enduring and celebrated cultural traditions of the South Carolina Lowcountry, deeply rooted in the Gullah Geechee community and traced back to West African heritage.\u00a0 A palmetto rose<\/a> can be a lovely souvenir to incorporate into a wedding welcome bag.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

6. American Classic Tea<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I grew up on American Classic sweet tea<\/a>, brewed on the stove, sweetened with sugar while it’s warm (a MUST), and kept cold in a pitcher in the fridge.\u00a0 For true southerners, it’s one of the most Lowcountry things I can think of!\u00a0 We think it would pair very well with a cute Charleston tea towel<\/a>, if we do say so ourselves.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

7. Personalized ornaments<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Especially if your wedding is around the holidays, a personalized ornament<\/a> commemorating the weekend and the trip to Charleston is an amazing fit that doubles as a souvenir.<\/p>\n
