February 2012 Brides!!!!!!

Lindy S · June 20, 2011

Beautiful invites! I haven't sent ours out yet, but I need to soon!

Bride2012 · June 20, 2011

Good morning ladies! I absolutely LOVE looking at all the progress that each of you have made with all the wedding planning and details!

For those doing OOT bags, how are you getting each one to the intended recipients? Or will you be delivering it to the resort? I am considering delivering them to the resort and then handing them out at our welcome dinner

We will be bringing all the OOT stuff down with us and then I would like to deliver them to each room. I have read other ppl say that this had a huge impact for the guests and really gave u a one on one time to thank them for coming and you can genuinely show your appreciation. This is what we hope to do but well see. The welcome dinner idea is our second choice!!! I think it would work great too

DO you already have/know everything that you are putting in the bags?

No, it is a slow and steady collection process. I am making a trip to the states in the next few weeks and hope to pick up a lot then. We have lots of time but want to collect the summery stuff soon as it is seasonal!

Ok, thanks for the info!

So far we got a first aid kit (since my FI lat name is Johnson we printed out HOGAN & JOHNSON in the same format as the Johnson & Johnson brand. Inside is pepto bismol. advil packs, immodium AD packs, band aids and vitamin C packs.

A personalized wedding CD with our Before we Met, Dating, Wedding songs.

Buying hand towels in bulk since that was one of the big complaints about the resort is that they dont have hand towels and run out of beach towels fairly quickly.

Playing cards, lotion (another complaint is they dont supply lotion.

Printing out Itineraries (we like to have schedules for everyone so they dont get bored and get some time with us) and placing them inside.

Thats all we have for now...still trying to build on it

Bride2012 sounds like you're ahead of the game with your OOT Bags...good job! Love the "Hogan and Johnson" idea...very cute!

Is anyone nervous about how much it is going to cost to bring everything down there? With everything I was thinking of bringing down (decorations, OOT bags etc) I'm sure I would fill up 2 extra suitcases. Now I'm thinking of scaling back. What is everyone else doing in terms of getting your stuff to the destination?
