Thanks so much everyone! It was a lot of work but didn't feel like it as it was a little here and alittle there.

 

The towels were from Beach Towels wholesale manufacturer of custom embroidered monogrammed bath towel for corporate events. I ordered the velour terry towells. They are good for the price at 6.75 each for 48. I personally prefer thicker, bigger towels, but for this purpose they are fine. I was a little disappointed, but when I showed them to my mom and our friends there, they said they would be happy to recieve them. I am glad I did towels as it completes the image of the beach bag.

 

I also forgot to post the pic of our pens from Personalized Ink Pens, Cheap Promotional Pens, Business Pens, Promotional Pens Cheap, Desk Pens, Custom Pen, Custom Pens, Imprinted Pens, Pens with Logos, Cheap Personalized Pens, Ballpoint Pens by PensXpress which i loved! They were the Madona pen

Wow! Everything looks amazing! I love your first aid kits! Did you do the labels yourself? If so, do you have a template you'd be willing to share?

 

Also, this may be a dumb question, but I also want to do labels for water bottles. Did the ones you buy already have a label on that you covered? Or were they empty- or did you have to remove the existing ones? Thanks!!!

I did the first Aid kits. The template is too big to post due to the JPEG, but if you PM me your email address I will send it to you, same with the water bottle labels.

I bought Kirkland water at Cabo Costco (don't know why they don't see mexican water there) so it was a bit more expensive (about $79.00 Pesos). Then my mom and I removed all the labels (didn't take long as we were watching the sunset and drinking margaritas). We then wrapped the new labels on them. This took a little longer as I wanted them to be perfectly straight when they matched up in the back. OVerall, I would say it took the 2 of us about 2 hours to do 200. The small bottles were harder, I would use a more narrow label than the 2 inch one I made orginally for big bottles. I switched to small bottles for the cocktail reception and welcome party as we just had our Xmas party and I am so tired of throwing away 1/2 bottles every year so this year I did small bottles and found no wasted ones.
