Venting about my OOT bags

[Maura]

honestly.... i think they look great. stop worrying so much!

I would be thrilled with one... They look amazing.. I promise NOBODY will realize that your blue isn't blue enough.

I think they are very cute. And I agree... no body but you will notice that the blue isn't the exact match. And honestly, even if they do notice - they won't care. The bags look high quality and I think your guests will love the thought you put into them and the usefulness for the trip.

They are too blue and too dark rather not not blue enough . But thanks guys. I guess it really is stupid of me to care. It is mostly that I'm the friend/relative with the "cool" design sense with my house and clothes and invitations and all that, and to fail on this just because I didn't insist on a few iterations of samples just bugs me so much! I really wanted something that I would want to carry around - I really should have stuck to 1 color (like 1 brown or 1 red). I guess I should just stop thinking about it.

It's not stupid to stress. Just out of your control (without spending a chunk of change) Everyone will be happy to be there

My FI told me he would willingly pay the $ to make me happy...

I think they look great as well! No one is going to think the blue is too bright!

wouldnt you rather have the money for something else?

[twinkletoes]

I agree with everyone else, screw it. Especially since you only have 1 month to go before the big day!

 

The bags actually look very tropical with the colors you currently have.

 

I agree with Maura, spend the $ on something else. Treat yourself to a nice spa day. It is very nice of your FI to offer to cover the cost.

 

But what would you do with the other bags if you got new ones?

 

Its defitenly not stupid to stress about something like this, because we all want everything we have planned to be perfect! But trust me, your guests will think the bags are cute, and will not be worried about the colors one bit.

Exactly! They're very festive and your guests are going to think they're very cool.. Don't complain about the colors not being right to them because they'll think you're crazy. We know (as brides/former brides) how you're feeling but really NOBODY will notice the colors aren't what you were expecting.

I think they look great!
