OOT Bags for a Large Wedding Group

That's a great idea Cookiemunchkin about including different items in the bags!

FutureMrsTO - one thing I'm doing that might work well for you is put slighly different items in each persons bag.  For example, maybe a frisbee in one bag, but a deck of cards in the next bag, and a beach ball in another bag.  Not every person needs a frisbee/deck of cards/etc since people will be playing with others.  This way you're still including a whole bunch of different items, but it wont be as expensive with all the bags you need to do!

I am doing 1 bag per couple and 1 bag per single too.  Makes the most sense.  Guys don't generally care about the actual "bag".   I am including smaller items - like the pepto, advil, antibacterial, bandaids, etc.  and a few fun items like crosswords, koozie, monogrammed golf balls (we're golfers), water gun, welcome newsletter, a post card with spanish phrases on it, and a favor box of our wedding color m&m's. 

 

Not a huge amount but enough to say "thank you!".

ANNKHO,

 

Thanks so much for that information... they look awesome!! AND SO CHEAP (WHICH IS IDEAL)!!

 

But.... NO PINK shoot!!! I guess I can go with natural and it wouldn't be a big deal! That might be better because the guests may use it more if it's natural-- what do you think???

 

Did you buy these, or are you looking too?? I just wonder the quality, because they look good!!!

There have been lots of brides who have used cheaptotes.com and are very happy with the quality. You can search the threads to find some pictures but I wouldn't hesitate to use them. I am definitely using them. And as far as the natural color vs pink that might be a good idea especially since there are male guests as well. You can always do your monogram in pink on the bag.

I ordered 20 natural bags from cheaptotes.com and am very happy with the price and quality.  I agree with Aumuller. Your male guests would probably be more likely to reuse the bags if they aren't pink! I think natural with a pink logo could look very pretty.
