I agree I think you have enough but possibly some Vegas like items as ErinB mentioned.

I love them! Those bags are so cute!
I think you have plenty too, but echo the idea of adding snacks. Maybe something vegas-y... not sure what though. I've never been!

A :)

WOW...what GREAT bags!!! There is definitely PLENTY there...the only thing that I could think of, knowing where you're going to be...and how dirty my fingers/hands get...if you can find some little wet naps or purell, that's the only thing I'd add! Everything looks amazing!!!

One other idea...depending on the time you have to spend on these still..if you want to add a little thank you in...something cute...get some foney money...and then photocopy your and your FI's face on it! You can change the wording on the money to anything you want...its fun...but only if you have the time!!!

OMg! Duhh to me-I totally didnt think of adding snacks! How awesome of you guys to think of that! THANK YOU! The stinkin snacks in vegas hotels rooms are such a rip off-but you know after being out drinking even I ave gotten desperate and paid 6.00 for a bag of stupid chips! So good idea I will add that to the "to do" shopping list when I get there!!

Flip flops:
Such its just a few girls going-who are good friends/family I just asked them. I went to old navy a week ago when they 2/5.00 flip flops were 1.00 each!

The Bath and Body stuff:

I got the new scent-that way all those little bottles were $1 each. usually their little bottles are 3.50 each-so I just got the 'deal" they had on the newest scent! Its a good scent.

Water Bottles:


I actually ordered water bottle labels...and my friend who lives in vegas is going to go buy the bottles and we will put them personalized labels on them when we get to Vegas. We are eading in Tuesday the 5th-and staying with friends the first night, so we can do up the bags and what nots! I am also shipping my dress to her house so the gift bags and gifts will be there waiting for us.


Thanks for the advice and compliments :)

Jen

Those look great, the contents really look like quality stuff so if anything just through a bag of chips in the middle to take up room b/c you are right they are such a rip off at the hotel!! I walked forever to get cheaper chips and water at a CVS one day. You could hit up BJs or Sams Club if they have one near you for bulk snacks.

i was stressing about my bags too.. i had somewhat what you had minus some stuff.. then things peopled used were the cup.. any cup will do honestly... as long as it is big it will be used! also the bags got used more then i thought.. some asprin and chapstick but that was about it so don't go too crazy if you don't have too.. people will just love the time, effort and love you put into the bag!
