OOT Bags by Room or by Guest?

[Cherina]

I'm am starting to coupon for my OOT bag items. Are you compiling OOT bags by person or by room?

I've been creating 1 bag per room but I try to put a little something special in the bags for each person. If it's a couple I've included fun gifts for the girl and the guy.

That's what I was thinking but I have been told it needs to be by person

We are doing our bags by room, but each bag will be customized for the people they have in the room.  Our bags are pink and orange beach bags so we figured the guys would not want a pink bag any way.  If there are multiple girls in the room i will include an extra bag inside the bag.  but each bag will only include one survival kit ( with meds).  it is too expensive to make a kit for each person.

We're doing one per couple/family or one per single guest.  So if 2 single girls are sharing a room, 2 bags.  If a couple, one bag.  The ones for couples/families will have more stuff.  Some of the items in a shared bag (like a koozie if I end up doing them) will be one per person, others (ex: playing cards, wedding day timeline) will be shared between a couple/family.

Thanks! What's a koozie?

It's one of those can coolers that slips on to a can, to keep the drink from warming up.

It seems like a great way to save some money. I haven't thought of that. If i'd do one per couple, I can actually pull it off considering the budget. Thanks for the idea.

I've been wondering this question too. It would definitely save a lot more money doing bag/room or bag/couple.

We're doing one OOT bag per person consisting of mesh drawstring beach bag, travel mug, travel aloe, clothespegs, and assorted goodies.

Then we're doing an Oh Sh!t kit bag per room, containing mini dish soap and dishcloth, bandaids, tylenol, and other multi-person items.

We're also giving each person an Airplane pack containing a pen (for filling out those Tourist Cards) hand sanitizer, snacks (lunch-size treats and cookies), kleenex and earplugs.

 

So far, works out to about $12+tax per person! We have 17 guests plus our baby nephew, so it's totally budget-friendly.
