Hoping to find something cheaper. Any reco's would be so appreciated!

Do you definitely want custom bags?  I saw browing Creative Bags and they have quiet a few options for great prices but I don't know much about their personalization options.  Might be worth a look?

I'm going to go pick up the jute bags I mentioned from Dollarama today!  I'll post pictures once I have them home!

Hey McLecker I found my inspritation pic for the bags im going to create. Its hand stamped bag with permanent ink. Like i said in the other post i natural canvas bags from ingreetings.com. I think they were .89 a bag and i paid about 19 dollars for shipping for 22 bags. i didnt pay any customs or duties but i think i got a good deal on shipping cause when the box arrived it was marked with shipping as 33.40 so they may charge more now. I bought all stamping supplies from Michaels with 50% off coupons of course. Im using a different stamp and having our date and jamiaca on it. but you get the idea.

LOL sorry quoted the wrong person in my other post. As you can see in the pic with hand stamping the personalization isnt anything crazy, its small and simple but its also cheap and easy to do! I have a barefoot sandals thread where i hand stamped canvas favor bags, they look great.

I went to Walmart last night in Edmonton and found some things that I was looking at getting for guests:

 

I am thinking about making Luggage tags. You can get the self-Laminating tags, 5 for $2.88.

 

 

 

 

You can get the ones that need thermal laminating 20 for $2. A laminating machine is $30. 

 

 

 

 

You can get coil key holders 6 for $3.44. I was thinking about using these as the handle to make tip/ room key holders. I would order the zipper badge holder bags from ebay.

 

 

 

 

You can get regular badge holders (for luggage tags) 12 for $1.98. THey come in verticle or horizontal. 

 

 

 

You can get 48 printable, clean edge, fold-able business cards for $10. If I had a smaller wedding group then I would definitely use this for place settings at the tables. 

 

 

 

You can get sticker paper, 15 pages for $11. You can use this to print out our own custom monograms and stick them on things (but it is NOT waterproof, it is just like a mailing label quality). 

 

I am going to bead the initials of our guests around their mug handles. I bought beads on ebay but they sell them at walmart, 300 random alphabet beads for $7. Larger size beads has I think 180 beads for $7. 

 

 

 

 

They have little sandal key chains in the kids party section. I think they are cute and will add them to the wedding party gifts (since they are cheap enough). 6 for $1. 

 

 

 

 

 

They sell landyards, 2 for $2.88.

 

They also have little travel bags (looks like the passport holderrs that go around your neck, at 90 cents each.

McLecker, have you looked at 4imprint.ca?

 

They have really low prices, but unfortunately have kind of high minimum orders.... not sure how many you need. Most minimum orders are 50 bags. Looks like you can get them from $3-5, which includes a personalization. But watch out for set up charges on some bags. 

 

For example:

http://www.4imprint.ca/product/C103375/Carry-All-Tote-Bag

 

These are 1.95 each but min order 75: 

http://www.4imprint.ca/search/bags/product/C107908-1312/Reusable-Grocery-Bag-13-x-12

 

Or these are 2.35 each, min order 75

Wow. You should just go into business doing this. Put yourself on Etsy at the rate you are going!! So impressed!

I also ordered my bags from:

 

http://www.ingreetings.com/onwholortot.html

 

Minimum order is $25 and they do ship to Canada. I paid $0.79 per bag. I am not going to put anything on the front of the bag, but am thinking of adding a tag or something like that to personalize them.

 

Hope this helps!
