That's great to know, Jenn. I didn't plan on doing shirts, but if I see cute ones at that great price, I may change my mind once I'm there.

I put bottled water in ours, and homemade cookies. I did very simple small bags and the water and cookies were a big hit.

here is what we included (I think this is everything...):
welcome letter
dove chocolates
alka-seltzer
crystal light individual flavor packets (hotel gives bottled water in every room)
emergen-c (energy/immune booster)
custom bookmark
chap stick
sunscreen (little travel tube from target $1)
pack of eclipse gum
travel candle and matches
pashmina for the ladies
cigar for the men

bolded items are the ones that people commented on the most. Pashminas were a very big hit. I bought three colors and let the ladies choose their own.
Bre, I love the simple paper bags! I saw someone else on here use them for her OOT bags and it looked really classy, honestly, I wouldnt reuse a bag with someone's wedding info on it either! If I had a big wedding I would use really nice brown shopping bags. But I am doing nylon bags from LLBean with each couple's initials monogrammed on it.

The main thing my guests used were the travel mugs (every day at the pool), the bag itself to carry things down to the pool and beach, the first aid kit (unfortunately LOL), and the guys had a ball playing with the frisbees I got, oh and the Shout wipes got used quite a bit aswell.

 

My bags included:

travel mugs

semi-homemade first aide kit

frisbee

lotion

travel scope

travel toothpaste

shout wipes

kleenex

 

I think that is it...

If you are looking for good music Target has CD's be the scrapbooking stuff for 9.99. They have a Summer Salsa, Caribean Themed, Spanish Guitar, Irish something..and tons more. They are fun!!
