Morgan's Wedding Planning #7

rodent · February 13, 2008

A friend calligraphied 1/2 my invites last night. It's hard to show them, because I avoid posting addresses so this is the best I could do. I kept it really casual with just one envelope & first names.

I got a calligraphy marker for $2.50 & realized it's not that hard to do some simple calligraphy.

I thought I'd just add what all I am putting in our OOT bags

First aid kits

cup with guests names painted on them

small combo master lock for luggage with safety tips

3 riviera maya postcards

OK magazines (from my subscription)

left to buy/make

water & snacks we buy when we get there

spanish to english phrases

tote bags

photo share card

welcome letter

things to do in RM brochure

I just did an estimate of what I've spent per pag. This is assuming I'll make 16. I still don't really know who many guests well have. I'm doing 1 bag per room.

total per bag

OOT bag 3 postcards per person 10 .63 (with 52 leftover)

OOT bag cups 3.2 .25

OOT bag first aid kits (14) 15 1

OOT bag 96 immodium 10 .63

OOT bags advil 5 .31

OOT bag SPF chapstick (30) (ebay) 7.57 .47 (with 14 leftover- will probably give 2 per person)

OOT bag misc printing 20 1.25

OOT bag totes 16 1

OOT bags master locks (16) 36 2.25

magazines 0

I'm at about $8 per bag ($128 ) & I still need to buy snacks to add to it. Crazy how fast it adds up. The locks were the most expensive, but I really like them. I can program the combo to be anything. I really wanted to do what I could to keep our guests stuff safe.

Holy cow $128! Thats great! Hey it rhymed!

I put an estimate of 15 pp and expecting 30 but round up to be safe with a total estimate of $500. I think I might go your route to cut my cost in half.

I think you got plenty without the snacks. But a wonderful gesture to your guests. They are gonna love you more than they already do!

I just spent $60 at oriental trading, so I'm no longer at $128. I bought post-its, my bags, coin purses, clips for the coin purses & a couple things for the AHR. I'll add pics later.
