We are doing OOT bags for each person.  We found some online for very inexpensive - 40 for $35.  Not sure about everything that we will put in them, but we will place the itinerary for the week (any group events that we will plan), itinerary for day of the wedding, information and map of the resort, information about what to do in the area, etc...Since we are doing OOT bags, we will not do favors at the wedding.  Our resort will give them to guests at check in.

Thanks for the ideas on the OOT bags ladies.  We're getting married at the NOW Jade resort in Puerto Morelos and I want to bring as little with me as possible but I want something sincere in people's rooms when they arrive.  So many choices... I was thinking of having luggage tags made and used as favors/place holders at the reception, but again I want people to actually use them later!

So this may be a little off topic but has anyone ordered or seen wedding dresses at Costco? Apparently, Kristie Kelly makes an exclusive Costco line. My mom was in Costco the other day and she said the dresses were really nice and were approximately $600-$1000 plus an additional 40% off.

 

Unfortunately, this is a traveling vendor who may not be coming to Montreal's costco anytime soon. I'd love to just look at them and try them on in person. If anyone has any experience with this vendor, please do share.
