My OOT Bags~ the big hits and the things that weren't used

Thanks! This helps lots!

Great thread, thanks ladies.

Oh and I think the British/English phrase book would be hilarious!

Great ideas! I decided to do the canvas totes and I'm having the last names of each couple embroidered by someone I know. For the single ladies I'm doing their first name. I figured that way the have a nice beach bag to use for the stay and when they return home. I may also have a sun or starfish embroidered for fun.

Awesome ideas, thanks!

Great tips! Thanks for sharing

OK so we just got back. OUR friends and families really loved the OOT bags!

Things that were used:

The bag itself (canvas with our theme).. perfect ...not one person brought a bag! And they came out really cute. (50% off on vista print too!)

The cups (steins)... they were HUGE hits. People not in our party wanted mugs, we gave out a few extras! (factory 21-ebay)

Nips- mini bottles of captain morgan's and malibu rum were put in each cup.

Beach Kits- gel san,mini chocolates,gum, scentsy tins, SPF, tylenol, immodium, tums, band-aids.

I think people looked at the welcome letters and really liked them, but that was the extent.

Things people did not use:

Mini beach balls which was an added thing we had leftovers from our almost married reception.

Deck of cards- never saw anyone playing with them.

Pashmina's- not one girl wore hers.

Postcards as our guest book.. Im pretty sure we wont get one of them back!

I feel like Im leaving out a few things. But all in all. I think all you really need is a fun "beach kit", a beach bag, and the cups/steins to make a perfect OOT bag! Guests really love them.

Oh no! I hope my ladies appreciate their pashminas a bit more. I'm really excited about them!

I made it to the end!! 42 pages.
