Thank you gift for guests

[bovkim]

Hello everyone!

 

We are thinking of renting the private cruise boat La Barcaza the day after the wedding for our group. My fiance and I want to cover everyone's cost as a thank you for coming to the wedding. We are also planning on making a donation to a charity that is helping put dominican kids in school, that will be in each of our guests' names in lieu of a wedding favor.

 

What do you think? Originally I loved the idea of giving them all a nicer beach bag with a few things inside, but that's a little much for us with all of that above.

 

I guess I'm just worried that it's rude to not give an OOT bag.

 

Thanks ladies!

Kim

No way, I think your gifts are very generous! As much as we love our OOT Bags, most people attending have never heard of them or are expecting them. You could always do a welcome letter of sorts if you wanted to. I think the cruise and donation sounds amazing!

I agree, I think your gifts are very generous! I know I would be appreciative!

Thanks for the feedback!

That's a wonderful idea and great way to show your appreciation!

I agree too, that is very generous! I wouldn't worry about anything.

I also agree! I think the cruise and the donation is very generous of you. And as nice as OOT bags are, I think the lasting memories of a cruise will be worth so much more.

Not rude at all, I think it will be very appreciated and the OOT bags will not be missed.

The donation to charity is such a great idea. And the boat ride will be greatly appreciated. You should ask the charity for cards with it's logo and use them as place cards w/ a thank you on them, thanking all the guests for the donation

My father actually just talked to me today about giving a charity donation in our guests name to a local school/community program at our wedding destination (Puerto Vallarta) and I absolutely love the idea!!! It would be really great if this idea catches on and more people decide to do things like this.

 

I think it's amazing that you're also organizing a cruise. You and your guests are going to have a wonderful time!!!
