I just went to my girlfriends wedding in Mexico last month at Azul Sentori. She did oot bags. She did one bag per couple. She did have some rooms with two girls so those rooms got one per person. But overall it worked out price wise. She got so many compliments and since the hotel supplied beach towels she was happy she didn't do them also. The bag was perfect for the supplied towel and for suntan lotion. But here's the best. She saved money by not filling it. each bag was embroidered with beading and she put an itinerary in each bag that i made for her and it was perfect. if the bag means more to you then just add some hand sanitizer or koozie and an itinerary. It does add up quick but what will they use more! Good luck!

Anon101,
Ok now I got it. That's a great idea. Your guests will love that. Good Luck!!

Have something simple put on you towels. If you trying not to personalize them to much why don't you have a palm tree with some beach chairs put on the towels. Or how about some Caribbean flowers put on them for girls. And if you decide that you want them to be a little personalized how about a ribbon tied around each beach towel then have an ID tag attached to it with your logo or your names (bride and Groom) and wedding date inside ID-tag. This way it's only personalized for the wedding trip. When they go home they can take out the paper in ID tag and use the towel and tag later. Good luck planning.

I agree with all you girls. You want your guests to be able to have something that will remind them of the great time they had but with out having the bride and groom's name on everything. There is so many things you can use to personalize it to your wedding but not to the bride and groom. For example a simple palm tree with beach chairs next to it will remind them of a beach wedding. Or Vegas would be cool if you had a set of dice as a design. Just some ideas. Good luck planning.

I ordered a lot of candy from oriental trading. I don't know if they have your colors but it's worth a try. But I just did a search for you and typed in bulk wholesale candy. I got tons of hits. Sorry i'm not much help.

For my girlfriends oot bag she's just doing a little welcome booklet that has a welcome letter and 7 pages of info about the resort we are staying in. It turned out cute. We made them out of paper bags and raffia. When we get down there she's adding snacks in the bags. Maybe some advil or something but nothing big. She wanted the canvas oot bags to be the focus not whats in them. This way she didn't have to lug all that stuff down there. If you think about it who doesn't have the munchies late at night after a night of partying. Just ideas. Good luck ladies.

Hey girls,
I just found parasols on the cheap. They are selling white ones for $30.00 for a set of 12. Then a set of 3 color ones for $15.00. I'm thinking of the white and painting them for my friend as a wedding shower present. She wanted them for her girls to hold for photos. I did look on Lunar Bazar but I only need 10 and it was 80.00. That's way to much for just one day. Check them out maybe you'll save some money. YEAHHHHH!!!

Ladies,
Thank you for all the nice words about my work. Good luck on all the planning and I'm here when you need me.
P.S. The towels are $14.00 each.

Hey I was in a store by my house and saw pashmina's. Then I noticed they had a website. They are selling them for only $5.00. That sounded cheap to me. I just know some of you girls were looking for them. Hope someone can use this info. Here's the link.

Ladies,
Be careful with these bags. My girlfriend Shan83 ordered these bags and was very disappointed with them. Not only did they look out of proportion because the strap was longer then the actual bag part but you could see right through them. They advertise them as canvas tote bags but there is nothing canvas about them. She did go with something else. Just a warning. Don't want you to be upset like Shannon was when they were delivered.

I am making my best friend's programs for her ceremony. I have it all in my mind how to make them. Problem is I'm having trouble with the wording. Did all you girls break down of the ceremony in your programs. I did do a search in this forum but all I can find are how to make them. Like I said before I know how to make them but I want to see the wording you used. Only if you don't mind me cheating off you. HAHA!!! I know there's no unity candle and a closing prayer and no sand ceremony. So besides the names of the wedding party and family what else did you ladies add. I would love to see pics that i could read what you did. Thanks for your help.

Those bags and towels are cute, but watch a lot of embroidery sites like the ones you posted all have a min. quantity you have to order. Believe me there are smaller embroidery business out there who don't do minimums. And most likely the reason there is a minimum that has to be ordered is because their supplier won't sell smaller amounts to the the embroider. I would look on ebay and talk to some brides on here. You'll find they have a few embroiderers that does not do minimums. Good Luck

Hey Mylee84 and Big3n09,
Why don't you girls just have a white hoodie embroidered with bride. There's many people that do embroiderery on ebay and have websites. You would be surprised how inexpensive it is and you would have a choice of hoodie's, shirts, even cute little pants for just you and your hubby to see. HAHA!!! Good luck with your search but check embroidery first before you spend 70.00 on a hoodie you will never where again.

So if you have read any of my other threads, you know that I am big on customer service. I don't think I have high expectations, but realistic ones.
I don't want any of you to order gifts for people and not receive them like I am having done with this web store.
So, here is my story....
Back in July (yep, July) I ordered items ahead of time for thank you gifts for the women putting on my bridal shower. I just ordered the regular shipping time because I didn't need them until the end of September!
They emailed me back immediately that my Terry Cloth Slippers I ordered were on back order and were to ship around 8/7/09. Fair enough, right?
That didn't bother me.
To this date, I still have not received my slippers and my bridal shower is Oct 3rd. I just sent them an email telling them to forget the order, refund my money, and that I would not be ordering anything else from them in the future. I was pretty disappointed because I do need to order more presents and now I have to find another vendor for them.
Just wanted to give you girls a heads up if you do decide to order anything from this website - they take a long time - if you even get your order.
