They look great! I love the colors!!

Those are great!! Thank you!

Great job!!

Thanks girls!! The store I got the containers for the first aid kits is called Ladysmith Discount Outlet. I am now working on the welcome book. We decided to make it and put the pages into a mini photo album so that people could reuse them. We got beachy themed ones at Walmart for $2 each. This wedding stuff is SO fun!! I'm going to miss it when it's all done!

Thanks I thought the flip flop candle holders were a cute alternative to travel candles and a cute keepsake too!

Thanks! I'll have to check it out!

Thanks girls!! My Mom actually got the containers for the first aid kits at this little discount outlet in Ladysmith on Vancouver Island. They were only $1.09 each! I LOVE great finds like that!

We got our Oriental Trading order in! Yay! Here's what we got for the OOT bags: Travel Sewing Kits Playing Cards Maraca Keychains Flip Flop Keychains Flip Flop Candleholders - We opted for these instead of travel candles. We'll give everyone 3 tealights with them Matchbook Notebooks - We are going to make mini phrase books out of these Natural Starfish to decorate things with

This is what I've been working on lately. I'm working on a pre-travel brochure to send to people along with the luggage tags but I'm not finished it yet My first aid kits. They will have bandaids, alcohol cleaning wipes, immodium, tylenol, advil, pepto bismol tablets, and rolaids. Lip balm I bought from Michaels and made labels for. I also added a little bling on the left side of them (hard to see in the pic) Sunscreen - I bought the bottles from Superstore (Canadian) and filled them with sunscreen myself. Luggage tags - I will send each person 2 once they have booked along with a pre-travel info brochure Bubble Bath - Bought the tubes really cheap (10 for $1), cleaned them out (they had bath gel and stuff in them) and filled them with bubble bath. I'm having SO much fun with all this DIY stuff!! There are a few projects left so I'll post more when I get there. Thank you ALL so much for the wonderful inspiration on this site!! It's the best thing I've come across in planning our DW!!

Great job!!

Welcome and Congrats!! You'll find TONS of great info here!!

I am watching it on TLC right now! LOL... hilarious!! Don't think we'll be doing it but I'd love to see someone else's

Thanks for posting this!!! It's great for me to see if I'm "missing" anything or not!

Those are great!! I love the response cards

I was having a hard time with that too so I decided to buy small 3oz travel containers and fill them with sunscreen myself. I bought the containers (with the flip up lids) at Superstore - 4 for $4.49. I am going to buy the sunscreen pretty soon. I'm hoping to catch some end of summer sales on them! I did order some other stuff from Minimus - For All Your Travel Size Item Needs They have 1oz tubes of Banana Boat sunblock for $1.89 each. They do ship to Canada - I just have to wait and see what the customs/duty will be.

Thanks everyone!

Hi jcarson I just noticed that we're both from the Island, we're getting married at the same resort AND your wedding is the day before mine! Wow! When I got my bags from Michaels (in Nanaimo) they were in the same aisle as the paper gift bags. That is a huge price difference. Michaels does put coupons out pretty often and you can also get them from their website. I've used a couple coupons that have given me 25% off my entire order. I'm having a small wedding (I'm only doing 10 bags) but the coupons still help

Our names are Tara & Jason

I got my bags from Michaels. They are canvas tote bags but they are smaller than regular tote bags. They were $2.25 (in Canada) each and they had 3 or 4 different colors. I just got white because none of the colors were right for what I wanted. I love them though!
