We splurged a little and bought our guests coffee to take home (small 2oz bags) for $4 each. Also a big hit!

That's great to know, Jenn. I didn't plan on doing shirts, but if I see cute ones at that great price, I may change my mind once I'm there.

here is what we included (I think this is everything...):
welcome letter
dove chocolates
alka-seltzer
crystal light individual flavor packets (hotel gives bottled water in every room)
emergen-c (energy/immune booster)
custom bookmark
chap stick
sunscreen (little travel tube from target $1)
pack of eclipse gum
travel candle and matches
pashmina for the ladies
cigar for the men

bolded items are the ones that people commented on the most. Pashminas were a very big hit. I bought three colors and let the ladies choose their own.
Bre, I love the simple paper bags! I saw someone else on here use them for her OOT bags and it looked really classy, honestly, I wouldnt reuse a bag with someone's wedding info on it either! If I had a big wedding I would use really nice brown shopping bags. But I am doing nylon bags from LLBean with each couple's initials monogrammed on it.

The main thing my guests used were the travel mugs (every day at the pool), the bag itself to carry things down to the pool and beach, the first aid kit (unfortunately LOL), and the guys had a ball playing with the frisbees I got, oh and the Shout wipes got used quite a bit aswell.

 

My bags included:

travel mugs

semi-homemade first aide kit

frisbee

lotion

travel scope

travel toothpaste

shout wipes

kleenex

 

I think that is it...

    • 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!
    • 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!
