My Luggage Tags Are Done!


Recommended Posts

Yay! After much searching and trial and error, I finally came up with a solution to my luggage tag issues! I had such a hard time finding something that looked nice without being unreasonably expensive. I tried the clear luggage tags from Oriental Trading (like $4.99 for 10), but they are hard plastic, came already scratched up, and didn't seem like they'd stay together well. Then I tried laminating business card sized cardstock- just didn't work well.

 

I finally ended up buying clear vertical badge holders from OfficeMax for $4.59 for 12, which was a good price for anything clear and with a pocket of any sort, compared to what I've found. They are 3 1/4 in by 2 1/2 in.

 

I used two layers of cardstock, one for the backing (metallic red), and one to affix the label to. I used the clear Avery labels that are 2x4 (also using these for my luminarias), the price was $22.00 for 250 labels. I cut them down to size and affixed the clear printed label to the metallic champage card stock.

 

I'm really happy with the results! The names are printed in all black. I just covered my last name and address for privacy! lol

Aww, thanks girls. I forgot to add that I'm going to be sending these out with my welcome letters about 2 weeks before the wedding. I'm sending three tags per person, which will be enough for 2 pieces of luggage and a carryon- I figured that was probably an average amount of luggage, don't you think?

 

I also have to give credit to Aylee for the monogram...

Sarah I also will be requesting two for myself and one for my pooch Bentley. Seriously those look great! Aylee is so good at what she does, the monogram looks great. And I love the color. You did such a good job with this, you seriously do need to write a DW book with all DIY. smile159.gif

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
