Happy wedding day! I would have loved to have been a guest to receive your OOT bags. :-)

I have to admit that the OOT bags are one of the things that I am most excited about. I think because your guest list is limited you are in good shape. It's when you have to multiply everything by 75-100 that it starts to get really out of control. Good luck!!!

I am going to try and stick to just 7-10 items top!  I should probably stop reading these threads though because every time I do I find something else I like

I know my bag will over-weigh!  I'm expecting to do around 25 bags (one per couple or one per single), and we are using the collapsible market totes which are going to take up sooo much room in the suitcase!  I also want to do a towel in the totes, as well as, other items.  I am hoping to have one suitcase dedicated to my clothes and one dedicated to these items.  I am going to have my mother, MOH, and bridesmaids bring down other items that for decorations.  Hopefully this will help.  I am going to contact the resort about shipping, but I know most of them charge you a fee to hold or don't allow you to ship at all...plus I am OCD with planning, and I am nervous about doing this.  Has anyone had any experience with shipping materials prior to arrival?  I am getting married in Punta Cana, D.R. in May 2011 at The Grand Palladium Resorts & Spa.

Also, do you have the OOT in the rooms upon guests arrivall, do you leave them at the front desk for the guests to receive when they check in, or do you personally give them one?
