Here’s a look at some of the BrotherlyBox options.

When Tim Thornton’s parents moved from Philadelphia to Florida, his mom always missed real Philly soft pretzels. Tim and his sisters weren’t even allowed to visit if they didn’t bring a few pretzels along, he says—and he knew there must be tons of Philly natives out there who miss the Wawa coffee, Tastykakes and other iconic products that you can’t get anywhere else. So he set out to create a gift box service that would deliver Philly’s favorite treats to anyone who wanted them—and BrotherlyBox was born earlier this year.

The good news: Aside from their classic gift boxes (you can send a 5- or 10-piece box to anyone in the country) which are lovely for any occasion, BrotherlyBox is also focused on the bridal market. Their wedding boxes are fully customizable and can be given to out-of-towners upon arrival at their hotel or used as party favors to send your guests off at the end of the night. Your boxes can contain any combination of goodies—including the snacks mentioned above, a city map, your wedding weekend itinerary, Philly-themed playing cards, a LOVE mug and other fun items—and Thornton’s team will have them delivered to the hotel in time for the Big Day.

Because—let’s be honest—putting together welcome bags can feel like one of those peskier tasks towards the end of your wedding planning journey, and, in our opinion, is one you’re better off outsourcing, this is kind of perfect. And anyway, presenting them with a goodie bag like this is quite a fun way to welcome your guests to the city and get them excited about the festivities to come.
