I saw the idea online, and my friend who has designed all of my "stuff" customized it for us.

A few more DIY projects coming together!!

For our OOT bags:

keyholders/lanyards (eBay), and my friend designed the "Mexico" cards, which are similar to our STD images. they say "I take you to carry my key and cash, for barstool or poolside, for raucous or subdued, in sun and in sand, until I depart"

Tumblers for OOT bags - tumblers from Dollar Tree (my luckiest find!!) and our logo on vinyl stickers from etsy seller Davet Designs

and our DIY cupcake toppers (scrapbook paper, printed logos and lollipop sticks):

43 days and counting!!

When did you get the tumblers from the Dollar Store? I need to go check it out! Would be a better deal then ones I found online..

I found them a few months ago - got really lucky and found 38 of them in one store. I never saw them again in another store (despite making several circuits of all the DT stores in our immediate area!!) Someone did post over the weekend in the OOT threads that they saw them there again. so RUN and see if you can find them. by far the cheapest I've found anywhere. they are double-walled, insulated tumblers. I've seen them for $5ish elsewhere (discountmugs.com, wal-mart too).

I chose the ribbon color, and they included the box. What isn't pictured is the small vial of fragrance oil they included. I added the starfish (ordered from ebay, 120 for $7!) with an easy jump ring.

I did the tag myself, and of course the twine.

I got wind chimes for our parents, shell & starfish shapes, and the top disc has our names & date on it like the back of the ornament. They are really gorgeous!!!
