You are sooo very welcome...

This website is the bizness.... everything you want for the OOT bags such as "survival kits" etc can be bought here. If you don't care about name brand items then your talking about 12 cents to 40 cents. good luck!

JACKPOT ~~~~ Found another website... http://www.minimus.biz/ OOT bags items.... less then a dollar.

I guess I will post all my find on this thread... Here is another thing that I found back in January when I was looking for gifts for a ladies night I host once a month... All the woman LOOOOVVVEEED them. They were sample packs, but they contain a lot in one pack. They smell SOOOOO good, I could smell them through the box in which they came in. You get 4 for 2.98 (about .74 cents each). When I ordered them in January they were only $1.00 for 4 but I guess they got popular. I feel they are still worth the $2.98, and you can use them to stuff in your bridesmaids bags or you can use them for your OOT bag. http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/normasbathandbody/1383711/trial_size_bath_salts__set_of_4/handmade/bath___beauty/bath/salts

I'm glad this helped you....

In a effort to be as frugal as possible I have been doing a lot of research for my OOT bags. I got the dollar tree bags (after going to 5 different stores, between 20 -40 mins out) but worth it. I'm trying to find a website where I can fill my OOT bags and have the cost including contents equal about 6 dollars each (not so easy). While doing the kids OOT bags I found this website, and it has penny items. You can get things in bulk or in any quantity you like, which to me is a little better then Oriental trading because I don't have that many kids attending. The site doesn't look all that but they do accept paypal and to me that is always a plus... I placed a order and will post an update once I receive it. A lot of the items you can find on OT but it seems you don't have to buy them by 12. http://sav-on-closeouts.com/

Thank you all!!

I got my dollar tree totes (although I don't know how many guest yet), I bought 50. If worse comes to worse I will do one bag per room. I had to call 7 dollar trees before I found them. I'm going to do assorted because my colors are palm beach coral and seafoam. I also got manicure sets for my BM 's they were adorable.

okay so I have found these, which I think are adorable. They can customized to your color (not the shell, but the bow). I plan to have the MOH and the BM present them when asked for the rings. What do you guys think.? http://www.etsy.com/listing/67721203/beach-wedding-set-of-two-scallop?ref=sr_gallery_1&ga_search_query=clam+ring+holders&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_search_type=handmade

Thank you, I didn't even realize I put .com twice. Sorry bout that

Thank you, I love their resorts as well. We decided to go with them because we have stayed at many Riu's just not in Playa del Carmen.

I'm glad to hear that everyone liked my idea, I was looking online and OF COURSE they have someone who makes them on Etsy. Here's what they look like http://www.etsy.com/listing/67721203/beach-wedding-set-of-two-scallop?ref=sr_gallery_1&ga_search_query=clam+ring+holder&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=ZZ&ga_min=0&ga_max=0&ga_search_type=all They are adorable! These are for the maid of honor and the best man to carry, I like that idea. So I emailed the seller asking about the ribbon color availability.

I meant www.weddingwire.com/blackpinowed2013.com

so it appears that I will not have a ring bearer there because the person whom which we nominated parents does not want to bring him, so I came up with this idea to have the best man present us our rings in a clam. What do you guys think? Is that tacky? I found a couple but none I like yet, as soon as I have one I like I will post it.

I have the same website mines is www/weddingwire.com/blackapinowed2013

That's a really good idea.. I have a wedding website that I have completed. Whatever questions I get I just place on the webpage so that people can see. The webpage is also helpful cause I don't have to pay for RSVP stamps, they can log on and RSVP on there. I really like your idea, I'm just not on facebook a lot. My job does not allow, also I get off of work and go back into another job of cooking, taking care of my new baby girl, and helping my other daughter with her homework... I got my website done on my maternity leave (thank GOD)

Hello Brides - I just bought insanity, but I have not done nothing other then the initial video which you count how many you can do of each excercise. I'm completely out of shape since having my daughter, but I'm a hard core work out person when I'm working out so I thought this would be a great workout. After doing the initial video I realize that I might need to lose weight before I start this. Has anyone else had this problem and still completed the Insanity challenge? I'm like 40lbs overweight since having my daughter, and I feel like that is a lot. Any suggestions would be awesome. Thanks in advance

Thank you!

I actually started doing other things that don't include me knowing how many guest will come. I decided to save the OOT bags for last.

Ladies - This week is the weigh in. Please submit your weigh-in. I will post the sheet tomorrow. Good luck !

Welcome! I have added you to the spreadsheet.

Hello - In order for you to get the RSVP to work you have to go into the "guest" tab and fill out that section of the site. Enter in your guest information. Please let me know anything else you need help on or if you need more detail on this.

okay ladies - I was able to add on another night for the group block... yay!!! So this definitly ease my mind. Thank you for all the advice and thoughts. On another note, I wanted to know when are people going to start buying the items for the OOT bag, if that is what you are intending to do?

I just sent an email to my TA, so I'm hoping this doesn't affect anything

Do you think that it would be too much to add an additional day to our travel dates?
