In addition to our groceries, a map, and a list of our favorite local places, I wanted to include a personal note in our OOT bags. Sticking with our local theme, I found these lovely letterpress note cards:
Yes, they’re beautiful, but I had my reservations. First of all, they were a little too expensive for me. My main concern, however, was the wording. “Greetings from Atlanta?” It may sound trivial, but I really wanted “Welcome to Atlanta.” I know, I know, cue Luda soundtrack. But seriously. We’re welcoming them into our home, not greeting them from afar!
Well, if you can’t find the right note card, you just have to create it yourself! There’s a sign on Ponce (a major road here) that I knew would be a perfect setting for a photo shoot. We grabbed a prop, called up our photographer friend, and brought along Lion Corgi for a little doggie cameo.

I love Lion Corgi’s face in that first one…she’s like “Do you see my dad in the background? Is he for real right now?”
How are you personalizing your OOT bags?
I think your signs are much more personalized! Our OOT bags are San Francisco themed so we’re putting in a bunch of Ghiradelli/See’s Candies chocolates, among other things 
Very cute! I’m including a local tourist guide and stamped postcards so guests can easily send a message home.
@Miss Earrings: I’m so glad!
@NotYourTypicalBride: Love that idea!
its been a long long time but i so remember passing that sign!
Ah! I love Lion Corgi! So Cute - almost as cute as you guys by the sign!
Great idea!
@Miss Giraffe: She is such a flirt with the camera. She knows she’s pretty!
I love how this turned out. Mr. Lion is so funny with the balloons and you and Lion Corgi look so cute.

Mrs. Lioness, Atlanta Age and Occupation: 25, Physical Therapist Fiance's Age and Occupation: 25, Attorney Engagement Date: August 29, 2009 Wedding Date: April 2011 Venue: Anthony’s Fine Dining About Me: I’m a Southern girl with New England roots. I say "wicked" and "y’all" in the same sentence and I like to drink sweet tea with my lobster. Mr. Lion and I are both former Floridians now living in Atlanta, which fortunately is still SEC country...Go Gators! We both love baseball, coffee, traveling, cooking, and playing Words with Friends with each other on our iPhones all day long. I’m very passionate about the things and the people I love, and I tend to plan things with all of my heart...our wedding, of course, is no different! Oh, and also Mr. Lion is a first generation American of Cuban descent. I may look more like Lucy than Ricky, but I’m doing my best to incorporate some Latin elements into our vintage-garden-Southern wedding!
