OOT bag contents - **Master List of Possible Items**

[Espejo2be]

Good idea girls!! It's nice to have the list all in one place... i'm going back and fourth on weather I should do the OOT bags or not, I"m going to wait and see how many people commit to come first to see if i can actually afford it! lol

Where did you get your silk fans from?  I've been looking but have not had much luck. 
Thanks!

This list & excel sheet are awesome! Great ideas from everyone, thanks!  I was debating on doing OOT bags as well but after reading this I am going too.  The hardest part for me will be finding a perfect bag.

 

When do you give these bags to your guests? I was not planning on meeting everyone as soon as they arrived. The resort gives you champagne & wet towel while you check-in & then they will be walked to their room. I want to make sure they have the full check-in experience without me bothering them. Should I wait till after they settle in? I also read on a thread that some resorts will charge you if you want to put the bags in their rooms before they arrive. Not sure about this though...

 

I have plenty of time & this is what I am worried about!! lol!

We are giving the bags out at our welcome breakfast the day after everyone arrives.  We are going to hang out in the lobby as people arrive and give them an itinerary (so they know to come to the breakfast since we aren't doing pre-travel brochures)  for the week and a quick welcome  and then let them get settled.  In my experience, the champagne and wet towel are passed out while you wait in line to check in (servers with trays and you take one if you want)  so you stopping in quickly to welcome them shouldn't interrupt that really.  Just a suggestion!  Most hotels charge a fee to put them in each room - ours is $3 per room I think!
