I totally forgot to take pictures of our welcome bags at the wedding but now that we're back from the honeymoon, I took some pics of our leftovers.

Bags from discountmugs.com - 50 for $2.99 each (+ $50 screen charge)

Plastic cups & koozies from discountfavors.com - 80 for $0.50 each and $1.99 each, respectively (+ $50 screen charge)

 

We printed the tags ourselves on cardstock from Target and bought ribbon from Michaels.

Stuff in our "wedding week survival kit", which was put into a plastic bag with a label

- Aloe Vera from minimus.biz - 80 for $1.41 each

- Emergen-C from Amazon.com - 80ct box for $25.95

- Advil from Amazon.com - two 50ct boxes for $12.32 each

- Pepto tablets from Amazon.com - three 48ct boxes for $16.13 total

- Shout Wipes from Amazon.com - 80ct box for $21.60

- Sunscreen from Amazon.com - three 24ct boxes for $20.99 each (+ $5.99 shipping)

- NOT SHOWN: hand sanitizer from Bath & Body Works - $0.41 each not shown

 

* I used Amazon a lot because I had a $100 gift card.  Otherwise, it might not have been the cheapest option.

Our wedding "facebook" - printed and bound in my mother-in-law's office

Sample page - we had 72 guests so we made sure to get started on everyone's "profile" as soon as we knew they were coming!

 

All of the stuff in the bag (not including the facebook) ended up costing us about $680 total.  Each guest received one of every item except for the tote bag which was given to single guests & couples.  A lot of people used the bags and cups around the resort which was a great way to identify people - all in all, a big hit!

Thanks ladies!  Two of my fiance's older sisters had DWs in Mexico and they both did facebooks, so that's where I got the idea.  Ours were definitely big hits and we had a lot of fun coming up with entries for people!

 

I got inspiration for other welcome bag stuff from this forum too so thanks to everyone here for the great ideas!

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
