Now I'm really worried about bringing all 38 down in a suitcase because of the weight! lol

 

I've decided I'm giving some of my bags out before we go. I'll give my bridesmaids theirs, my parents, groom's parents and a couple friends who are in town. It helps us out a little, and then they know what they don't have to buy/pack because you've got them covered. No matter when you give them the bags, they'll be appreciative

I was thinking the same thing! When I was considering buying the Bubba's for everyone I actually was going to send an email to everyone to leave room in their luggage as I was going to hand them out at the airport! LOL

I got the 2.5 as well and they look great!

Thanks KDoyle I'll have to remember to ask for a new box! Very smart of you. I'm also considering giving out most of the oot bags before we go. I would have liked them sent to all their rooms but I'm really too concerned about luggage weight and we're also traveling with our baby so we'll have so much stuff as it is.

How much did you budget for your OOT bags? I'm thinking of making a trip to Buffalo for various things including a lot of my bag contents.

I wanted to stay around $20 per bag, including the bag itself. We only have 25 people and I did a bag for each couple, with singles getting their own. If you coupon, watch for deals and shop around a bit (this does require patience hah!) you can definitely achieve that. What were you thinking for a budget?

With Sunwing it was $80 each and we got the extra luggage, the extra space seats-more leg room and priority check-in before others...so I upgraded the kids and the FI and I so that i got the 2 extra luggages LOL

I went to Buffalo for some stuff and depending on what you are looking to put in there I thought it was worth it ...for the Advil & Aleeve, the dollar tree store by the Niagara Falls USA outlets had great stuff..I got all my snacks there...literally everything is only $1 or less...I would have gotten Aloe Vera travel size and the Dramamine if I had thought of it at the time...and something good to knwo if you need alot of something you can order online from the Dollar Tree in US and they will hold it at the store for you

I didn't know they could hold stuff for you - that's a great tip, thanks! This may come in handy if/when their summer tote bags come out.
