My OOT Bags~ the big hits and the things that weren't used

[girlinthecity97]

@@Torifire - thanks so much for the info!!! I will look into this. Most of my friends/family are Verizon or ATT users with a few Sprints thrown inf or good measure! Hopefully they'll be able to work around this. I'd love to put these in the OOT bags!

 

Thanks again & happy planning!

Is the SIM card thing really worth the hassle?

A few BDW brides have bought travel cups & then personalized them with waterproof labels & markers.
They came out really cute. I would do a few as tests to see how well they hold up before you buy them in large quantities.

Here's a thread that I found that may give you some ideas:

I knew someone on here had done this before so I went looking for the thread & found it.
This thread has the pics of the mugs:

And this one tells how she did it & what materials she used:

Morgan did these as well. Take a look at her planning thread:

I just had a question, did you girls ship your OOT bags prior to your arrival or did you pack everything in your suitcases? I'm still not sure what I should do. Shipping makes me nervous but I also don't want to waste a lot of room in my suite case. Thanks for your help!

@@jkkc - I plan to bring everything in a carry-on or suitcase.  I plan to take a page out of some bride's book and use a suitcase from goodwill that I can just leave at the resort, since I most likely won't need to bring those things back home. The resort we are working with does not accept packages (so sending isn't an option) but I still wouldn't take a chance on shipping it if they did. . I've heard horror stories of packages either not showing up or having been seriously picked through.
