I bought these boxes from Garden Ridge. Its similar to this one but it's wedding flowers on it

Then I put in lots of travel items people would forget, like toothpaste, a disposable camera, lotion, and snacks as well.

I've also printed out a things to do in Rochester list and a list of important phone numbers like bride, groom, mom and dad sort of thing.

I want to also add a T-shirt that says something like "I went to Nguyen-Stacho wedding and all I got was this lousy T-shirt". Is that too tacky?

Or add a I love NY T-shirt?

What else may be a good idea to add? I would add instant coffee but I know my guest wont like it. They like the fresh kind.

Ha ha! I love the idea of the lousy wedding shirt.

what about certificate for a cup of coffee to a local store, tissues, maybe some stationary or notepad, pen/pencil, menu from a place to eat that you guys like, slippers, toothbrush (in case someone forgot theirs), travel pack of hand wipes, sanitizer, a small address book, with the local numbers of mom, dad, bride, groom, places to eat, hospital, etc. I am trying to think of things that come in handy when you travel to new place, or things i have forgotten, pack of matches, comb, small bottle of water, listing of tv channels. I recently traveled to new york and we couldn't find a store close by that sold cups of already made coffee or muffins for breakfast. these are some ideas FH and i came up with, hope they help or give you some ideas.
