The Luggage Tag

I didn't actually work the luggage tag wedding but I set up for it. 

I was told to wrap a luggage tag around each napkin to be used in the place settings. This was extremely tedious work. 200 luggage tags around 200 napkins. It looked nice. The luggage tags were brown leather so this wasn't a cheap wedding favor. 

Placed in each luggage tag was a paper with Walt Whitman's 'song of the open road" printed. 

If I were to make a guess this seemed to be a group of well educated, worldly people. 

To further reinforce this assumption, the center pieces for the wedding were a stake of old books. This bride and groom must really enjoy reading. 

I pictured all the guests at the wedding discussing literature and talking about their latest travels to some trendy spot. 

Yet, I did not attend the wedding itself. These are all guesses of what would happen. The bride and groom could quite possibly be illiterate. They could have possibly never been anywhere more exotic then Canada. 

Luggage tags could either be useful or completely useless depending on the guest. If the guest isn't intending on traveling soon, this wedding favor would most likely end up in a junk drawer. If the guest is a traveler the luggage tag may end up on their suitcase, if they don't already have one. 

If anything the luggage tag feels like a message from the bride and groom. It says 'we're going on an exotic honeymoon and you're not going anywhere'. Or the guests could love the favor. I will never know because I did not attend this wedding. 

Love, The Wedding Planners
