Do you have out-of-town guests attending your wedding? If so, hopefully you've taken advantage of one of the super-simple wedding website services out there to help get information about your big day out to your guests.

However,even if you have all this, there's still one really important detail that shouldn't be left out by any obliging bride -- welcome kits for out of town guests. You may not realize how important they are until you are a guest at a wedding that doesn't provide it.

• Where -- Provide a map and area information to your guests. Clue them in to the town you love -- share with them your favorite pizza joint, a really unique shop, or the spot where he proposed.
  
• When -- Give them a schedule of events, including times, locations, transportation options and drive times. If it takes 30 minutes to make the 5 mile drive from the hotel to the church, let them know!
  
• Thoughtful items -- Leave a basket of handy items, such as sunscreen for a beach wedding, Gatorade and crackers for hard partiers, or a small bottle of champagne for couples.

To some guests, this welcome kit could determine how they remember your wedding. Was it the reason for the nine-hour car trip when their son earned the nickname Flatulent Freddy? Or was it the greatest weekend ever because they experienced your version of your town? It's up to you!
