[Hosting your one-of-a-kind wedding at Casa de Campo](https://www.casadecampo.com.do/weddings/)? Putting together a Welcome Kit for your guests, when they arrive at the resort, is a fun and gracious way of saying thanks for attending. Not sure what to include in yours? No problem - we’ve listed our top ten destination wedding kit essentials: ## 10. Individualized Calendar of Events & Activity Suggestions It’s a good idea to let your guests and bridal party know when and where they will be required for different wedding events. Let them know what events are optional and which ones (like the ceremony) they shouldn’t miss. It’s also helpful to include some activity suggestions for guests to enjoy during their downtime. ## 9. Sunscreen The sun burns bright in La Romana. Avoid having everyone in your party look like lobsters in your wedding photos by including some SPF 20 or higher sunscreen in your welcome kit. ## 8. After Sun Even though you’ve looked after the sun care, there are likely to be at least one or two guests who get too much sun. Help relieve the pain, and soothe their skin by including some After Sun lotion. ## 7. Premium Dominican rum Rum is a staple liquor of the Dominican Republic, and a great local gift to include in your welcome kit. Include a note inviting your guests to join you for a welcome toast upon arriving. ## 6. Ibuprofen For those guests who overdo it on the wedding cheer. A travel-sized package of Ibuprofen will be a godsend to those who may have indulged in a one too many Coco Chanels at The Beach Club. ## 5. Blotting Tissues It can get warm in the Dominican Republic. Help your guests look their best by providing blotting tissues which absorb extra oils and moisture, leaving the skin looking and feeling refreshed. ## 4. Beach Read Why not choose a great book for each guest to read while enjoying a little downtime at the beach or pools? Need some inspiration?

Sweet & Salty Snacks Most people have a preference for sweet or salty snacks. Plan for both guest preferences by tucking away a few treats of each kind for guests to enjoy as a post-ceremony snack. ## 2. Tote Bag To hold all of the other Welcome Kit items, and afterwards, it can be used as a beach bag for the rest of the trip. Our Casa de Campo Beach totes are perfect! Made of canvas or jute, these totes will hold all of your Welcome Kit items, and make for a lovely keepsake. Keep them simple, or customize them with silk-screening.

Comment with your answers! ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What should go in a wedding welcome kit for guests staying at Casa de Campo?** A: A strong welcome kit mixes practical items with a personal touch. The page’s top picks are an individualized calendar of events, sunscreen, after sun, premium Dominican rum, ibuprofen, blotting tissues, a beach read, sweet and salty snacks, a tote bag, and a hand-written thank you card. Casa de Campo offers the resort setting for this kind of guest experience, so the kit works best when it helps people settle in and enjoy the trip right away. **Q: How do I keep wedding guests from getting too much sun at a Dominican Republic destination wedding?** A: Sunscreen and after sun are the two items that matter most here. The page specifically recommends SPF 20 or higher sunscreen because the sun burns bright in La Romana, and after sun lotion helps soothe skin if someone still gets too much exposure. That combination is useful at Casa de Campo because guests will likely spend time outdoors during the wedding trip. **Q: What’s the best way to organize activities for wedding guests at Casa de Campo?** A: An individualized calendar of events and activity suggestions is the clearest way to keep everyone on the same page. The page says guests should know when and where they are required for different wedding events, which ones are optional, and what they can do during downtime. That matters at Casa de Campo because it turns the welcome kit into a planning tool, not just a gift bag. **Q: What should I put in a beach bag for wedding guests?** A: A tote bag is the most practical base because it holds everything else in the welcome kit and can later be used as a beach bag for the rest of the trip. The page says Casa de Campo Beach totes are made of canvas or jute, can be kept simple or customized with silk-screening, and make a keepsake guests can use after the wedding. That makes them more useful than a one-time gift bag. **Q: Is a handwritten note worth including in a wedding welcome kit?** A: A hand-written thank you card is one of the few items that adds emotional value instead of just convenience. The page calls it a personal way to show guests how much you appreciate them being there. At Casa de Campo, that kind of note helps the welcome kit feel intentional rather than generic, especially when paired with personalized extras from the wedding team.
