Went to Dollarama and got clear tumblers for the guests....we also picked up hand sanitizer 2/$1, tylenol, advil, mouth wash, and tums.

 

We're still looking for lip balm with some SPF....dollarama has nothing, and everything else I can find is $3 or more EACH! Any ideas for this ladies?

 

Also still on the hunt for totes....every website I've found is US only

 

I'm pretty sure Discountmugs.com ships totes to Canada! They have a huge selection. You could even to a large order (the more you order, the cheaper they are) and split it with another Canadian bride. Nice work on getting everything else checked off! Sorry I don't have any tips for lip balm. I know a lot of ladies have mention Avon on here before though.

HI! For anyone looking for custom inserts for your tip/key card holder check out this fellow BDW bride's etsy shop. Her stuff is so cute and she will do any color/wording you want! I ordered mine from her and can't wait to print them out

Dollarama does have SPF lip chap but it's blistex and I'm pretty sure it's 1.25 or maybe even $2!!! I bought 2 for $1.99 from Shoppers and they had an SPF 30. I friggan wish I had bought MORE ... I really wanted the Blistex Fruit expressions but it's $4.99 for 3 from Shoppers. I refuse to pay more than $.99 for a lip chap with SPF. I know you're wedding is coming up so check Dollarama again because I check weekly and the SPF Blistex just came out recently. If you have a costco membership, you can get 8 blistex for $9.99 I believe.... also Avon sometimes has great deals on SPF balm. Or just check out Shoppers for a sale! Hope this helps! I'm on the hunt as well because I'm still short ten or so...

I know these bags have been posted before on this thread. These are what I'm using for my OOT bags from Dollarama ($2 each)... The pic doesn't do the bags any justice. They are very vibrant and beachy. My cone head Westie just had to be in the picture lol....

 

 

 

 

Okay and I absolutely LOVE this tote from Dollarama. I found this a few weeks ago in a Dollarama that I don't usually shop at. Of course, this was this only one left at the store and I haven't seen them since. I love it so much and I wish I could've found these for my OOT bags instead. SO nice!!! Canvas burlap type material and the button is so cute! They are $2.25 each but definitely worth it! I use it for my OOT stash now lol. Again, my phone takes crappy pics

I'm going to check some different Dollaramas....I was actually talking to a lady that worked at another Dollarama than the one I checked last night and she told me they had them...so I'll be going out shopping for sure to see if I can find something. Might just have to check Shoppers too.

 

Also, I found this website...http://www.customlipsandmore.com/ ......they will put a custom label on their lip balm for no extra cost, and to get the 30 that I need was only $13...shipping came out to just under $15, so it worked out to be around $1/lip balm. Not too bad...and they say all of their ingredients are natural! Might be worth it for someone...I'm just worried about time, I'm a month away today!!

I know this may not help a lot of people out but for those who live in toronto there is a bath and body outlet. Almost evrything is 50-75% off. Just picked my my hand sanitizers for 50cents. I also got big bottles of body wash for $2.50 which I'm planning on using for my bridal shower. It can be a hit and miss kind of place but definitely worth checking out if its close by.

I ordered my key/money holders the other day, but now I need something to hook onto them.   I've heard of lanyards or those stretchy bracelet things.  Anyone have pictures or ideas on where to shop?
