Welcome Baskets Guide
Whenever you are planning that special occasion  where out-of-town guests will arrive, it is always appropriate and hospitable to present your guests with a welcome basket. Keep in mind that after a long day of travel, guests will be longing for the comforts of home. Give them something special by placing comfort foods within the basket, as well as mementos to remind them of the holiday. It is a kind way of saying thank you for their attendance, as well as providing them with a warm greeting. Have the basket waiting at their lodging or hand deliver it to the room yourself!
Basket Themes
It is always fun to keep these baskets pertinent to the theme of the celebration!
Consider factors such as season, location, or overall feel that you would like your guests to take away with them. Be as silly or as classy as you desire. It is all about giving it a personal and special touch.
Creative Fillers
Once your basket theme is chosen and under way, add as many extras as you would like.
Remember to think outside of the box... or basket. Try tote bags, buckets, pails, containers, chinese takeout boxes, or anything else you can think of to hold all of your goodies.
Running out of fillers? These ideas are great additions, no matter what the theme!
Have fun creating your own unique masterpiece and remember to always put a little bit of your personality into it.
