Goody Bags for Out of Town Guests

Granted we haven't even booked hotel rooms for out of town guests, I've been thinking about goody baskets for our guests that are traveling the extra mile to see us exchange vows. Since the wedding and reception are in KY, I'm thinking about gathering some Kentucky-themed edibles.

I think it might be cute to go to KFC and ask for some unused buckets (hopefully they would be free) and then stick the edibles in the bucket. So far here's my list of possible edibles:

• Travel size bottles of bourbon (i.e. Maker's Mark or Wild Turkey)
• Cans of Ale-8
• Kizito cookies
• Kenny's Cajun Popcorn
• Mint Julep mix
• Apple Butter from Huber's (actually it's from Southern Indiana)
• Chocolate Bourbon balls
• A horse shoe (it's not edible but might be a nice touch to represent the Derby)
• A baby Louisville Slugger bat (again, not edible)

I found this great online shop called A Taste of Kentucky, which gave me some of these ideas. There's also a store on Bardstown Road called Why Lousiville that has kitschy gifts and t-shirts.
