Quote: Originally Posted by Waiting_for_Sunshine I handed out a bunch today at work (I'm fortunate that a lot of family and friends works at the same place I do-a casino). My boss LOVED them and proceeded to take it around the office and show everyone. I kinda felt bad because we only invited a select few of our coworkers, but I think they weren't thinking they should be invited- it was only my own guilt. This is the hard part about weddings- You want to invite all, but you can't. BUT everyone I gave them to thought it really clever and seemed excited about the wedding. This is exactly the reaction I wanted- get everyone excited which encourages them to go! that's awesome when other people love what you did! makes you feel so good!

does anyone have a list of must-do photos, and the married ladies~ is there a photo you had wished you had done? I am trying to gather these now....

I am having trouble finding things for guys but I figure as long as I have some snacks for them they will be happy. Do they even care about the OOT bags anyways? My mom seems to think they don't! I am not sure that they really do..... the beer koozies I think the men will like, but most of the stuff will be for the girls (I thin it just happens that way) I did put a lot of stuff in mine, so I think they will enjoy them though

HELP!! I need motivation!

if any of you ladies are doing luggage tags for your guests here are some cute ones palm tree flower

Quote: Originally Posted by PVBride Same for us! So, what are you ladies putting in the kids bags? I hadn't thought of giving them a seperate bag, becuase everyone is getting frisbees, beach balls, snacks, etc. I just couldn't think of much else to add for the kids

I too, like the smaller ones better. they won't get in the way and you can use more if needed

those are nice, and a great price!

Amy~ Welcome to the forum! I can't really help you with those destinations, but a lot of girls on here can. Happy planning, this is a great place to be!

another question for the past oot bag givers-- Did you pack everything in your suitcase? or have them shipped to the hotel ahead of time?

I am doing one per couple, or for my singles- one per room

Welcome to the forum!

I think this forum will be really super helpful and I'm so glad I stumbled upon it!!! Congratulations and welcome to the forum!

Quote: Originally Posted by hln321 Anyone know where I can get affordable snorkeling gear (nothing too fancy!!!) for my OOT bags? Heidi, that is a great idea, I never thought of that. What else are you putting in the bags?
