The note is personal. It is the only item in the bag that is addressed specifically to the guest, that speaks in your voice, and that communicates how much you mean it when you say &#8220;we are so glad you are here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For destination weddings in particular, the welcome note carries extra weight. Guests may have traveled across state lines or across time zones. They are tired, possibly jet-lagged, and they may not know anyone else at the wedding. A warm, well-written note is a small but powerful signal that they are in the right place, that someone thought carefully about their arrival experience.<\/p>\n<p>The note also serves a functional purpose. It is often the first place guests will look for the weekend schedule, shuttle pickup times, the point-of-contact number for the day, and anything else they need to navigate an unfamiliar location. Done well, a welcome note reduces the number of text messages you receive on the morning of your wedding asking &#8220;what time is the shuttle?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>None of that requires the note to be long. In fact, shorter is almost always better. A note that fits on a single side of a standard 5&#8243; x 3.5&#8243; card, roughly 100 to 150 words, is more likely to be read in full than a two-page letter folded into an envelope.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;margin:32px auto;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogcdn.paperlust.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/paperlust-kraft-recycled-paper-rustic-botanical-emily-theo.jpg\" alt=\"Paperlust kraft paper wedding invitation -- recycled kraft cardstock with white botanical illustration and warm cream typography, dusty blue envelope, mobile mockup, eucalyptus styling on cork tray\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;display:inline-block;border-radius:4px;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What Your Welcome Note Should Cover<\/h2>\n<p>A strong welcome note has three layers: emotional, informational, and logistical. You do not need to hit all three at full length, a short note can cover all three in a sentence each, but all three should be present.<\/p>\n<h3>The emotional layer: gratitude and acknowledgment<\/h3>\n<p>Open with a genuine thank-you that acknowledges the effort guests made. &#8220;Thank you for being here&#8221; is fine, but something more specific lands better: &#8220;We know the flight from Boston is no joke, and we are genuinely moved that you made it.&#8221; Two to three sentences is enough. This is the part guests remember.<\/p>\n<h3>The informational layer: weekend overview<\/h3>\n<p>Guests want to know what the weekend holds. You do not need to reproduce the full itinerary, that belongs on a separate itinerary card (see our guide to <a href=\"\/blog\/wedding-weekend-itinerary-card-wording\/\">wedding weekend itinerary card wording<\/a> for formatting and examples). The note just needs a brief summary: &#8220;We have a welcome dinner Thursday night, ceremony and reception Friday, and a farewell brunch Saturday morning.&#8221; Three sentences max.<\/p>\n<h3>The logistical layer: one or two practical details<\/h3>\n<p>Choose the single most important logistical detail and state it clearly. For most destination weddings this is the shuttle or transport time. It can also be the name and number of a coordinator or trusted contact who is available for questions. Do not try to cover everything, you have the itinerary card and the wedding website for that.<\/p>\n<h3>The sign-off: warm and specific<\/h3>\n<p>Close with something that sounds like you. &#8220;We cannot wait to celebrate with you&#8221; is warm but generic. &#8220;We have been dreaming of dancing with all of you under those string lights for two years and Saturday it is finally happening&#8221; is specific and memorable. The sign-off is the last impression the note leaves, make it count.<\/p>\n<h2>Formal Welcome Note Wording Examples<\/h2>\n<p>Formal wording is appropriate for black-tie destination weddings, family-first celebrations, or whenever the couple&#8217;s personal style runs traditional. These examples are polished and gracious without being stiff.<\/p>\n<h3>Classic formal<\/h3>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">Dear [Guest Name],<\/p>\n<p>On behalf of the [Surname] and [Surname] families, we welcome you to [Location] and extend our deepest gratitude for joining us this weekend.

Please do not hesitate to reach [Coordinator Name] at [Number] if you need anything at all during your stay. We look forward to a weekend we will all remember for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>With deep gratitude,<br \/>[Couple&#8217;s Names]<\/div>\n<h2>Warm and Heartfelt Welcome Note Examples<\/h2>\n<p>This is the most common tone for destination wedding welcome bags. It is personal, genuine, and readable. It sounds like two people speaking, not like a press release.<\/p>\n<h3>Short and heartfelt<\/h3>\n<div style=\"background:#fafafa;border-left:3px solid #ddd;padding:16px 20px;margin:20px 0;font-style:italic;\">Hi [Guest Name],<\/p>\n<p>We still can&#8217;t believe you are actually here. Traveling for a wedding is a big ask, and the fact that you said yes without hesitating means everything to us.<\/p>\n<p>We have a few things planned for the weekend, check the itinerary card for the details, but mostly we just want to spend time with you. We have saved you a seat at our favorite table.

We know, it&#8217;s a lot. Between the beach and the open bar at Saturday&#8217;s reception, we won&#8217;t blame you for losing track of time completely. That&#8217;s what the itinerary card is for.<\/p>\n<p>A few key facts: sunscreen is not optional, the pool is very much open, and there is a welcome dinner Thursday night that you absolutely should not skip. Everything else is in the bag. <\/p>\n<p>So glad you are here. Now go enjoy that view.<\/p>\n<p>[Couple&#8217;s Names]<\/p><\/div>\n<h2>What to Include for International Guests Specifically<\/h2>\n<p>If your destination wedding is outside the United States, or if you have guests flying in from other countries, your welcome note may need one additional section. International guests often have practical questions that domestic guests simply do not face.<\/p>\n<h3>Currency and tipping<\/h3>\n<p>A brief note on local currency and tipping customs removes a common source of anxiety. This does not need to be detailed, a sentence or two is enough: &#8220;The local currency is [Currency], and most restaurants accept major credit cards. Tipping is not customary at restaurants but always appreciated at the hotel.&#8221; If your venue country has a significantly different tipping culture from the US, this line is especially useful for American guests.<\/p>\n<h3>Local emergency contacts<\/h3>\n<p>Include the number for local emergency services if it differs from 911, and the address of the nearest hospital or urgent care facility. This is not meant to alarm guests, most will never use it, but it is a small act of care that experienced destination couples rarely skip.<\/p>\n<h3>A note on connectivity<\/h3>\n<p>If your location has unreliable cell service or if the welcome venue has limited Wi-Fi, say so. Guests who know in advance can download offline maps, download the wedding website, and plan accordingly. If hotel Wi-Fi credentials are available, include them here, this is the single most frequently requested piece of information at hotel check-in for destination weddings.<\/p>\n<h3>Transport from the airport<\/h3>\n<p>For guests arriving on different days or flights, a quick sentence about the best way to get from the airport to the hotel removes a lot of friction. &#8220;Rideshare apps work well here; the journey is about 30 minutes and costs roughly $[X].&#8221; This is especially helpful for guests who have never visited the destination before.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"background:#1a1a1a;color:#fff;padding:11px 16px;\">Guest type<\/th>\n<th style=\"background:#1a1a1a;color:#fff;padding:11px 16px;\">Extras to include in the note<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;background:#fff;\">Domestic US guests<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;background:#fff;\">Weekend schedule summary, shuttle time, contact number<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;background:#f9f9f9;\">International guests (non-US destination)<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;background:#f9f9f9;\">Currency + tipping note, local emergency services, hotel Wi-Fi, airport transport tip<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;background:#fff;\">Guests with mobility or dietary needs<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;background:#fff;\">Venue accessibility summary, dietary contact name<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;background:#f9f9f9;\">Children attending<\/td>\n<td style=\"padding:11px 16px;background:#f9f9f9;\">Kid-friendly activity note, babysitting contact if arranged<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Designing and Printing Your Welcome Note Cards<\/h2>\n<p>The note card that carries your words matters almost as much as the words themselves. A card that looks and feels like the rest of your stationery suite signals that this was deliberate, that the welcome bag was designed, not assembled at the last minute.<\/p>\n<h3>Size and format options<\/h3>\n<p>The most common formats for welcome notes are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A2 flat card (4.25&#8243; x 5.5&#8243;):<\/strong> Standard note card size. Fits in a standard A2 envelope and sits neatly on top of a welcome bag.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Folded card (A2 or A6):<\/strong> Opens like a greeting card. Useful if you want the front to carry a design or illustration and the inside to hold the wording.<\/li>\n<li><strong>DL slim card (99mm x 210mm):<\/strong> Long and elegant. Works well as a standalone card tucked into the bag or placed on the hotel room desk.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Postcard format:<\/strong> Flat, no envelope, great for a simple message. Works especially well for casual destination weddings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Matching your suite<\/h3>\n<p>If you ordered invitations through Paperlust, your welcome note card can be printed on the same paper stock and in the same design system as your invitation suite. This means the same typeface, the same color palette, and, if you chose flat foil for your invitations, the option to carry that same metallic finish through to the welcome note. The visual consistency between a guest&#8217;s invitation and their welcome bag note is one of the small details that makes a destination wedding feel considered and complete.<\/p>\n<p>You can browse the full range of <a href=\"\/us\/browse\/wedding-invitations\/\">wedding invitation designs on Paperlust<\/a> and match your note card design to an existing suite, or speak with a designer to develop a coordinating card within a custom style.<\/p>\n<h3>Print method choices<\/h3>\n<p>The most practical choice for welcome note cards is digital print. It accommodates low quantities (important for destination weddings, where guest counts are typically smaller), has fast turnaround, and delivers a crisp, clean result on premium matte, linen, or cotton stocks. If your invitation suite uses flat foil, adding a foil element to the note card, a single line of metallic text, your monogram, or a decorative border, creates an immediate visual link between the two pieces without dramatically increasing cost. Letterpress on cotton stock is an option for couples whose suite runs high-end tactile; it leaves a beautiful pressed impression but requires a minimum order and a longer lead time.<\/p>\n<h3>Printing lead time and quantities<\/h3>\n<p>Welcome note cards printed through Paperlust arrive with your designer proof within 1 to 2 business days of placing your order, with two rounds of edits included at no extra charge. Production time varies by print method: digital print is the fastest at approximately 8 to 10 business days, while letterpress or flat foil runs approximately 20 business days. Order <strong>10 to 15 extras<\/strong> beyond your confirmed guest count, last-minute additions happen at every destination wedding, and the note card is the one piece you cannot run out of. Free white envelopes are included with every order; colored and textured envelopes are available as an upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>For guidance on pairing your welcome note with an itinerary card that guests will keep and reference all weekend, see our guide to <a href=\"\/blog\/wedding-weekend-itinerary-card-wording\/\">wedding weekend itinerary card wording<\/a>.

Notes shorter than 80 words can feel perfunctory; notes longer than 200 words often go unread past the first paragraph. Aim for a note that fits comfortably on one printed side of a standard card without reducing the font size below 11pt.<\/p>\n<h3>Do I address the welcome bag note to individuals or to couples and families?<\/h3>\n<p>Most couples write one version of the note and address it to the room or household rather than to individual guests. If you have a guest in a suite with children, a brief mention of the kids (&#8220;we are so happy the whole family made the trip&#8221;) takes almost no space and goes a long way. If you are doing a handwritten note for immediate family members, personalizing those is worth the effort.<\/p>\n<h3>Should the welcome note include the full weekend itinerary?<\/h3>\n<p>No. The welcome note should reference the itinerary and tell guests where to find it, &#8220;a full schedule is included on the itinerary card&#8221;, but should not reproduce it in full. The note has a different job: it is personal and emotional. The itinerary card is functional and informational. Keeping them separate makes both pieces more effective.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the best paper stock for a destination wedding welcome note card?<\/h3>\n<p>Match your invitation suite if possible. If your invitations are on 300gsm matte or premium stock, your note card should be on the same. For a more luxurious feel without the cost of letterpress, 380gsm premium stock with a flat foil monogram or decorative line is a popular upgrade. Avoid printing on thin, flimsy card stock, it undercuts the impression you are trying to create.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I print just the welcome notes through Paperlust, or do I need to order the full suite?<\/h3>\n<p>You can order note cards as a standalone product. Many destination couples order their invitations first and then come back for note cards, itinerary cards, and day-of stationery as the wedding approaches. If you are starting fresh, ordering the full suite together ensures the closest match across all printed pieces.<\/p>\n<h3>How many welcome bag notes should I order?<\/h3>\n<p>Order your confirmed guest count plus 10 to 15 extras. Budget for one note per room, not per person, a couple sharing a suite needs one note, not two. The extras cover late additions, any notes that get damaged during assembly, and a few keepsakes for immediate family members who may want to keep theirs.<\/p>\n<h3>When should I order welcome note cards relative to the wedding date?<\/h3>\n<p>Allow at least 4 to 6 weeks before your wedding date to account for design time, production, and shipping. Digital print takes approximately 8 to 10 business days in production; flat foil or letterpress takes approximately 20 business days. International DHL Express delivery is free on orders over $350 USD and arrives within 2 to 4 business days after dispatch. For destination weddings with complex logistics, ordering earlier is always the right call.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I include a handwritten element on a printed note card?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, and many couples do. A common approach is to print the body of the note and leave a small blank space at the bottom for a personal handwritten line or signature. This gives the note the warmth of something handwritten while keeping the typography consistent and legible for all guests. If you are writing individual notes to 30 guests, build in the time before you arrive at the destination, writing 30 notes the night before the wedding is not a good use of your time.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\n      \"@type\": \"Question\",\n      \"name\": \"How long should a destination wedding welcome bag note be?\",\n      \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n        \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n        \"text\": \"Between 80 and 180 words is the ideal range.
