When Paige Drummond planned her dream wedding on the family ranch, she made sure every little detail felt personal—including the thoughtful welcome boxes she and David prepared for their out-of-town guests. The boxes were a sweet way to greet friends and family who traveled in to celebrate the big weekend, and the couple placed the boxes in hotel rooms and Airbnbs all over town.
Inside each carefully prepared box, guests found a printed note from Paige and David, using the crest from their wedding invitations: "Welcome to Pawhuska! We are so thrilled you are here! We cannot wait to celebrate this special day with you, and we are especially honored that you have traveled here to be with us. How lucky are we to be surrounded by such wonderful family and friends! We hope that you enjoy your time in Pawhuska and all of the wedding festivities! Love, Paige and David."
Alongside the note were goodies chosen specifically to make guests feel at home. There were koozies decorated with Paige and David's custom floral crest; plus, another extra special koozie featuring various Drummond family and Andersen family dogs—including everyone's favorite golden retriever, George. The boxes also included bottles of water labeled with a watercolor of a gorgeous Oklahoma sunset from Drummond Ranch, and treats straight from The Mercantile, including Ree's favorite honey BBQ snack mix and fresh chocolate chip cookies, which sound like they'd be perfect for a late-night treat. A floral glass tumbler from The Merc, colorful stickers, a cute turquoise bracelet, a scented candle, and personalized matchbooks rounded out the package.
These boxes weren't just about welcoming guests—they were Paige and David's way of saying to all their favorite people, "We're so glad you're here." Paige explained, "We were so grateful for every single friend and family member who joined us at our wedding. Everyone is so busy these days, so it was our way of acknowledging our appreciation."
