<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nOnce you’ve written out your guidebook, you’ll need to gather the materials needed in order to complete this project. You can either assemble your guide yourself or send your digital welcome book template to a printer. Either way, you will need to type up your guidebook on the computer first.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nCanva is a free and beginner-friendly design software that can be used to create a digital welcome book. If you have images and text ready to go, this may be the easiest route for you. There are many templates that can get you started, so you don’t have to design from scratch.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nMake sure that your book is designed to be readable, both in terms of font and layout. You’ll also want to make sure that the pages are sturdy enough to withstand being folded multiple times. Consider using cardstock or thicker paper stock.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nYou can bind your welcome guide by using a binder, getting it spiral bound (at an office supply store), or stapling the pages together.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>3. Add Any Additional Resources<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nThere are some additional items you may want to include in your guest welcome book in addition to the sections mentioned above. These items may need to be replaced more often, are seasonal, or may just be a nice surprise gift for each guest!\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>Local Maps<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n\nPrint out local maps and include them in your guidebook so that guests can easily find their way around the area. If you’re including information about specific points of interest, mark them on the map for easy reference.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
