Treat Your Guests, Red Deer Style
You’re likely planning on having guests from various parts of the province, across the country and that cousin who lives around the world to attend your big day. While here, you want your guests to enjoy their time in Red Deer (so do we!). Putting together an arrival package to include prior to and/or upon your guests’ arrival is a cute idea that makes your day that much more special. Here are a few ideas to help out-of-town guests feel like they’ve arrived for a grand occasion:
1. Prior to arrival, send out a list of accommodation resources including Red Deer hotel options and RV & camping options.
2. Upon arrival, include a fun information packet of things to do and see in Red Deer. List the pubs and unique lunch spots recommended during lunch on your wedding day. Mention kid-friendly things to do, a brewery tour, your favourite park, a few of our many museums and the nearest shopping locations. Take a look at our complete list of Red Deer Experiences for some inspiration. As a bonus, it’s wonderful to have a growler of local craft beer waiting with some local munchies in a welcome basket when they arrive!
3. Have a plan for after-hours if your reception is going to end early. For guests wanting to continue the party, send them off to a centralized spot.
