They were really super cheap but yet decent quality.  The shipping was a bit expensive, but I was okay with paying it because the totes were so cheap.

How did you order the totes from here? I tried and there is no other option for shipping, it only offers the US for shipping.

I believe with cheap totes you have a call and order over the phone for them to ship to Canada.

Ahhh ok, thank you!

Lots of great suggetions for totes, ladies - thanks.

I was able to get another bride's leftover totes that she didn't use, but there were only 12 of them, and I'll need twice that number. I was thinking of just having half look one way and half another - I've spotted some decent looking totes at Dollarama - great size, canvas-like material, and only $2.25! It will just take some hunting around at the various locations to get the number I need.

I'm also wondering if anyone has a semi-easy way of stenciling or stamping their canvas bags? I'd like to do something simple like a palm tree, and 'Mexico 2013' underneath, but am looking for what materials would be best/most cost effective.

Any suggestions?

Hey! I originally was going to stamp my bags as well but after stamping small canvas bags for my barefoot sandals and seeing just how much ink it takes I decided to do iron on transfers. It really is the easiest and cheapest way of personalizing canvas totes and gives great results!!! If you decide to go that way I just suggest to buy the Avery brand of transfers as the ones from michaels are horrible. Here is a pic of my totes. I just did Jamaica with the date so guests could re use them for anything. I also attached a pic of my hand stamped favour bags so you can see how that turns out.
