It's adorable!! i love the colors!

Well.. For the something borrowed.. I'm borrowing my mother's jewelry, which was given to her by my grandmother. Both sentimental, and saves me money on having to purchase jewelry! hope this helps!

Hello Ladies! Just wondering if anyone has any input on the Crowne Plaza?? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

Those are adorable!! You can also use those as place card seating as well!! JUST A THOUGHT LADIES!! =) that way, your guest won't lose their drinking glass as they mingle around!

Women can never have enough bling.. SO, BLING IT!!

That is sooooo pretty!!! Good work!

Those are adorable!! Thanks for sharing!

How bout a Spa gift certificate? Or even a Gift Certificate for a Mani/Pedi?

I love the colors! They came out great! Congrats!

They came out great! I love DIY projects!!!

This site keeps popping up as a nonsecure site, i get wary ordering from a nonsecure site because of identity theft. The deals are AWESOME, so i would like to order for my OOT bags!

Congrats on the engagement!! 6 months is literally just around the corner!! It'll go quick!! But, this forum will help you a whole lot! I've just been planning for a month and a half, and i pretty much have everything planned out already!! Happy planning!!

YAY!! Congrats and welcome to the forum! This site will help you a whole lot! Happy planning and enjoy!!

CONGRATS ANGELA!! You're getting married on a perfect date...my BIRTHDAY!!!!!! Happy planning!

I'm sorry about that! They must not carry that bottle anymore!! I'll search around to see if i can find another one, i'll try to post another one when i find one. I actually just purchased my corked bottle yesterday! Pier 1 is having a really good sale, and i found a taller corked bottle for $2.50!!

Thanks for the heads up!! I'm a STARFISH fanatic since deciding on a DW!! I've been looking for starfish necklaces for my girls too!! Off to Kohl's i go!!

I'm counting the OOT bags as favors.. I'm also including as favors, the Fans-i'm attaching the ceremony programs to them (thanks to the previous brides with the idea), and also a basket of flip flop slippers for those who wore the wrong shoes. I really doubt your guest will be expecting something after the wedding. Hope this helps!

It's toooo cute!! What did you put in the bags?

Thanks for sharing! Every penny counts in my books!

HAHAHAHA I called 3 of the Office Depots in my area asking if they were closing. All 3 responded like I was some heartless lunatic that wanted them to lose their jobs! Unfortunately for me.. None of them are closing.. But, good for them they keep their job!

I was thinking about that same thing! But, I didn't want to chance it and get stuck purchasing things that i could have gotten cheaper back at home. The only thing we may be going to Costco for out in Los Cabos, would be to get the Water bottles for the OOT bags. From previous posts, they say it's a little bit more expensive.. But, worth not having to lugg 15 pounds of water bottles. We're arriving 4 days prior to our wedding, so, we plan on assembling everthing out there. GOOD LUCK!

That's the dilemma we are actually encountering as well. From what I have been advised by my family and friends. They say, we shouldn't be obligated to pay for the outside guest fee. Only because we are already setting up, by reserving accomodations at the resort we choose. But, my FI thinks other wise. He thinks that our guests are already paying alot of money to come out to the wedding, so we shouldn't smack on another obligated fee for them. So.. right now, we're just trying to see what we can negotiate. As far as the OOT gifts for them. Either one would be good. if you do plan on giving them something. Just so they don't feel left out.

I agree with Tina. Your guest will be happy with whatever you give! To tell you the truth, prior to this forum, I never even knew about OOT bags!! Lei's would be a perfect thing to give, along with a welcome letter!
