CANADIAN OOT BAG info...where to shop!

[AquaCait]

Our travel agent gave us the details when we chose our package.  Our offer gives the Bride and Groom the upgrade to elite.  You are right, it is two bags, I was going off of memory...

Thanks for the info on that AquaCait. We are also flying Sunwing, so I'll ask my TA if we qualify for the upgrade to elite. I'm already stressed about the extra money we are going to have to pay to bring our stuff down to Mexico. My FI is a huge kitesurfer and Sunwing charges $100 EACH WAY to bring a surfboard!!!!! FI informed me that he won't go if he can't bring his surfboard lol. We are also bringing all our decorations and OOT stuff down, so at least 2 extra suitcases. But whatever I only plan on getting married once!

YAY!!!  That's good that you get the upgrade!!  I think there's access to some lounge thingy at the airport, the extra weight allowance, and extra leg room with your seats (don't think it's actually emergency seating though...)

Does anyone know whether or not Transat offers upgrades?

I bought Travel mugs (and bags) off of Oriental Trading.  I ended up getting the "Design your own" travel mugs similar to these except mine were 6 for $5.24.  Great deal! Getting 36 lanyards, mugs, bags and koozies including shipping and duty to Canada cost me about $120.

 

I bought one of those books of scrapbooking paper pad from Michaels.  This one, for 50% off for my personalizing.  I cut out the happy inserts and then taped them to a piece of paper and ran them through my printer.  It only took me a few hours to do all 32 of them, with some trial and error (and redo on spell mistake >.<).  I'm quite happy with the results!  This way they are personalized, super cheap if they get lost/left behind, and can still be used again.

 

Another option for Canadian brides!

Avens: GREAT idea putting everyone's name on them!

Avens,

Love your cups! I think I would have done the same if I hadn't bought mine already. I need your advice. Mine are aluminum (insulated) coffee cups from Canadian Tire in my colors, red and turquoise. I tried to stick a round label with our logo on a cup but it wouldn't go on the cup straight. So I was thinking of leaving them plain, but now I am having second thoughts. My girlfriend said that this way people are more likely to use it again. Thoughts? I was going to put their name on each cup using a labeller. Your thoughts are appreciated:)
