General list for OOT bags

[TheOneDay]

I have been compiling list of OOT items. Below are the items I have compiled based on post sharing OOT experiences with us. I have broken down the list based on if the review suggests the items be included, left out, or if I have seen places were people say both leave out or keep the items in your OOT. It is just a starting point but I hope it helps someone.

 

Things everyone would buy again:

•Food

o Mints

o Snacks, cookies and crackers

o Water bottles

•Medications

o Alka Seltzer

o Tums

isn't this the same as this? http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...e-items-28059/

Yes, I guess it is. I took a bit of a different approach by reading what the receivers of the OOT’s did or did not use. It seems it would have been more usefully for me to only make a list of what people said their guest did not use. Sorry for a duplicate post.
