OOT... What did your guests really use?

Just got back. My guests loved the travel bags. They all appreciated the welcome booklet with wedding info. I think that is a must. Try to include photos of people attending. All the guys liked the Wal-mart Sample Travel Packs.(4.99 each) Everyone used their bag and thermal mugs. Also everyone used their sunscreen & aloe burn lotion. However, we passed out the bags before the trip. Therefore, they only brought what we bought them. If you plan on passing out the bags at you hotel or airport, I would not bother with purchasing sunscreen. They would have brought their own.

Overall, our best purchase which everyone used and some people were even trying to borrow others was the "Tide To Go" pens. Everyone had Salsa, tomato sauce or a fruity drink spilt on their clothes at some point during the vacation.

I'm looking for plain canvas bags?

Can anyone please tell me where to get them from?

thanks~

try Promotional tote bags custom sizes and styles from cheap totes

a lot of brides have used them, I haven't yet, but plan to...if you search for it you'll see posts and pics and stuff

great thread! I found it just in time

That Minimus site is awesome. I think snacks and the stick-its are great ideas!

I plan on including:

Aloe/After-sun lotion

Personalized koozies~2 per bag(we are not at an AI, we are on a cruise that will serve bottles/cans)

Luggage tags made from plastic coasters I found at the $1 store

A box of mints

A welcome brochure that includes the room #'s to all guests and wedding day info

Ok - based on what I have read on this site (which is a LOT Here's what I am putting in our bags:

Sunscreen - I think the little tubes will be easy to carry around

Aloe Gel - found travel sizes on AllTravelSizes.com

Lip Balm w/sunscreen - Avon (on sale!)

Stadium Cups w/logo - can't afford mugs/no room to pack mugs

Cocktail Mix Packets - personalized, will be good for in-room liquor dispensers at our AI

Decks of Cards w/logo

Spanish for Dummies - pocket edition

Welcome brochure (still need to create this...better get going

For budget reasons - I am using gift bags that I will attach a cute tag to with our logo/welcome note. I for some reason am not a fan of canvas bags (unless they are big enough to carry my groceries - which would be too big for what we are putting in them)- and couldn't find anything else that I liked.

rachel1124 - where did you get your stadium cups and spanish for dummies?
