So, here they are, they are all assembled with personal notes to each already in them and tagged. I certainly hope we don't have a big change in guest in the next 90 days! I did 30 bags.

Love everything!! Where did you get the card holders that are attached to the key chain? I've been looking for some of those to use to make for everyone.

I actually made the logo myself. I searched hearts on clipart and found the heart (it was green) and I changed it to match my pantones. Let me know if you need help. I am not on as much anymore due to crunch time, our wedding party (co-ed shower) next weekend and all that good stuff.
Good Luck
