Anyone NOT making welcome bags??


Recommended Posts

I am hoping to make some for my guests, but am not sure if my budget will allow it....has anyone not planned on giving their guests welcome bags? Is it expected?

 

Also, if you gals don't mind, how much did it cost you to make the welcome bags?? (no need to be exact)

I don't think you HAVE to make OOT bags, but you can do them for really cheap if you want. I always thought it was a super nice gesture, but I had no idea what they were before here either! You could go as simple as gift bags from the $1 store with a thank you note for coming and some other $1 items like chapstick or something! I think mine cost about $5/bag, I got most of my stuff at www.orientaltradingcompany.com

I didn't even know about them until this website either! Of couse my budget has doubled since I have seen all the cool things I want to do from this site!! I am still "waiting to see." I don't have the budget for it but would really love to do them for my guests. If I can do them super cheap without looking tacky (because then what is the point) and actaully get them there, then I will. I wouldn't worry about it though.

We aren't having many people come so I am doing them. To fit them into the budget I'm starting to buy things now as I see them so I can spread out the spending. I think it's a nice gesture for people that are travelling so far for your wedding but if it's not in the budget you can still do something small and nice that will be appreciated. Like some of the other girls said I didn't even know OOT bags existed until I came here so chances are most of your guests are oblivious to them as well.
