I think thats about right. But keep in mind that there are 2 different sized bottles. There are the smaller nip sized bottles & then there's a size above that which are the one's that I got. For some reason I think the larger bottle is about 200ml, but don't quote me on that!

 

Actually, this is an old thread where this was discussed:

Oh yeah, we're also having a flip flop basket by the dance floor.  So our guests will have plenty of keepsakes

Thank you both!

We're planning on 30-50 guests so our OOT bags will have to be relatively small to be able to afford them all. For favors, we're just thinking of a small candy bag for each guest, mostly as just an extra splash of color for each place setting.

I am still debating the favors..we are doing OTT bags for sure

Im not planning on doing favors at the reception. Im sending luggage tags and a pre-wedding brochure before and then OOT bags. I dont think my guests will even notice. too much all inclusive fun going on!

I too ponder these thoughts....I just feel like I should be doing something more to show my appreciation for coming all the way for the wedding but then I think it was their decision and it is a vacation for them and nothing would stink more than to spend the money on favors only to have them discarded or not used.  ughhhhhhh - decisions!!!!

 

My fiance really wants to do something "unique" so we are considering having personalized temporary tattoo's made for fun - has anyone on here done those?  Just interested in where you purchased them and how they were received by guests.  (Our group is a bunch of goof-balls so they would probably like them but I'm having a creativity fart!)

We are doing really nice OOT bags so no favors - it doesn't make sense to me because everyone's going back to a hotel room right on property - not like they will take a souvenir home that night - and I don't want to give them anything extra to pack.

beaches - I was thinking about tattoos too! A lot of our guests are from our Burning Man camp and we often do tattoos for that....so it would be a kind of fun thing. Let me know if you find a resource! TIA!

The hot sauce is a wonderful idea

We're doing favors -- something unique to Mexico so we'll shop for it when we're there. No OOT bags here.
