A Chesapeake Bay Romance {Erica + Stanley}


It was such a pleasure to work with a couple as sweet as Erica and Stanley! They were a delight in every way and their wedding was just as beautiful!

Welcome to My Wedding! {Welcome Bags!}




After an amazing summer interning with the Engaging Affairs team last year, Meg Beedle couldn’t bear to leave the DC wedding industry. So, after graduating from Georgetown University, she decided to start her own company creating welcome bags for brides and grooms throughout the DC area. 



Welcome To My Wedding is DC’s premier source for wedding welcome bags offering everything from seasonal pre-designed bags to elaborate, customized bags that are sure to set your wedding over the top. With Fall weddings right around the corner, Welcome To My Wedding can’t wait to start designing bags with delicious autumn goodies and fun colors. They love working with couples to find the perfect mix of treats and snacks to compliment their big day. 

Here is what a couple of brides had to say about working with Meg:

Working with Meg transformed the welcome bag 'to do' from a daunting task (that could have potentially occupied a ton of time in the days before our wedding) into a fun and easy process, and most importantly - our guests LOVED their treats!

Meg was thoughtful in her suggestions and feedback; she noticed that the color of the gift bags I ordered was a bit different from what we expected, called it to my attention, and made a great suggestion for solving the problem. Overall, her suggestions for both the packaging and items in the welcome bag led to bags that were clearly superior to the typical welcome bag. 

If you want to create that perfect first impression that will leave your guests eagerly anticipating what’s to come, contact Meg at meg@welcometomywedding.com or visit www.welcometomywedding.com to learn more!
