The pashminas-the women loved them, especially for late nights in the lobby, on the beach & in restaurants for dinner.
And yes, the travel mug was the biggest hit by far! Everywhere we went on the resort, my guests had their mugs. It was very convienent and well used at the bar!

The only thing that I second guess is the use of the monogrammed canvas tote as the OOT bag itself.
While I loved it & will certainly use it again & again, I wonder who else will really use it again, with the exception of my mother! While it made for a great beach bag as I did see my guests using it on the beach or on our shopping tours, I'd still love to know if it will get used this summer by anyone else. Maybe I should have gone with the personalized paper gift bag or god forbid, skipped putting my monogram on it & just gone with a generic Jamaica design.
Just food for thought for you brides to be!
Hey!
Just wondering were did you get your travel mugshuh.gif I can't find any I really like online that aren't expensive.

This is sooo helpful. Glad to know the sunscreen wasn't all that helpful. I was recently at a wedding where they used white gift bags from Michael's and stenciled their initials in gold. It looked really nice and wasn't very expensive. Also, don't forget to include water and snacks. I loved the snacks in the bags.... especially at 2 am when we got back to the hotel!!!!

Biggest Hits

 

Our last-minute decision to include the personalized 18oz Stadium Cups was DEFINITELY the hit of the week-- EVERYONE used them, and most ppl even brought them home!

 

Deck of cards (the boys even brought them on the catamaran excursion)

 

Beach Pail-- we used a Beach Pail as the actual OOT bag itself, and most ppl headed down to the beach to use them right away. (I promise to add pics soon) :)

 

Oh SH%&T Kits -- Bandaids, Advil, Safety pins, Scope and hand sanitizer

 

Hand Lotion-- Travel sized hand lotions were carried in everyone's beach bags over the week

 

Mints!

 

Pocket Size "Spanish for Dummies"-- most of our guests carried these throughout the week and practiced with the resort employees. It was really nice (and funny) to see them all trying to hard.

 

Misses

 

Starbucks Coffee-- brought at a nice touch for the coffee makers in the room (nobody seemed too interested)

 

Mini Pedicure kits-- most of the girls had pedicures done before, so they went un-used. As cute as they were, I wouldn't have added them.

 

Frisbees-- only came out for one day, not worth carting them to Cuba. They have a lot of beach toys available down there...

We did the same for the travel mugs we ordered. Hopefully people will like them!
Where did you order your travel mugs from?

Totally! We were actually plotting a whole beach olympics with Kayak races, football / soccer, beach volleyball and sand castle contests. It ended up being less official, but a SUPER fun group day!
