Hi Ladies, Believe it or not, I found them on the Discount mugs website. The prices are great and right now there is free shipping on these bags. The price of the first bag is as follows: Blank/No Design- 50 bags-$2.49 75 bags- $2.29 Printed- 50 bags-$2.54, 75 bags- $2.12-Set-up fee per color $49 (as far as I can tell) You can buy less or more. They also have a 110% price guarnantee. In addition, they sell tote and canvas bags. Here is the link to the first bag: Jute Bag, Custom Jute Bag, Jute Bag with Rope Handle, Eco-Friendly Jute Bag The following is a link to all of their jute bags including the second one: Jute Tote Bags, Custom Tote Bags, Printed Tote Bags, Imprinted Tote Bags Mischaka-are you getting yours from the same site? Southernsweetie-good point...they have several jute bags...some sturdier than others.

Thanks ladies!! I think #1 is my choice too. I think these are so cute. I'm posting from my BB. I will be in my office in an hour or so and will post the link and prices then.

What do you guys think of this Jute tote with rope handles as an OOT bag? I thought that it was the cutest thing. I would also probably get an imprint on them too. OR...this one...which is a bit sturdier....but I think I like the first one better:

Hi ladies, How are we doing? It's getting down to crunch time. I checked off a few more items off of my list: Sent out invites booked musicians for ceremony and reception booked videographer found make-up artist FI's suit came in Purchased pashminas for OOT bags To Do Find Flower-girl/junior bridesmaid dress Have groomsmen order suits Find bridal accessories/shoes Find birdemaids accessories/shoes Find groomsmen shoes find bags for OOT bag Place-card holders/place-cards Pre-Wedding booklet Welcome booklet Menu Program Favors Find remaining items for OOT bags Oh boy...that's still a lot!!

I booked with Roberta too...can't wait to see my flowers!!

Timberly, Your pictures look gorgeous!! Your hair, dress, groom...your little sweetie-pie daughter...everything looked absolutely perfect. I really like the set-up on the beach too. I'm so glad that you had such a wonderful day.

Thanks for the heads up...I need to check out Walmart!!

The website says that it is Pioneer group and I THINK that was the name of the storefront but can't be sure. Why?

Oooh...so many good ideas here!!! Emegeerox-that was a nice OOT bag you put together for the guys. Damaris....I love that idea!! Very original. VDbride-I guess it's back to the wholesale district for me!!! LOL

Thanks again...you know that I WILL soon visit this store don't you? LOL

I love these!!! Did you create the tags yourself for the pashminas? If so....was it hard to do? Tanya-Marie...here is a link with the address of a store in NYC: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...shminas-55781/

No...you can just walk in off the street. You do not need to sign up for an account. That price is for a dozen though. If you want 9....I think you have to pay their full price. I want to say that at full price the scarves cost $3.50 or so each...but I'm not sure...you can ask them. Probably less money to just buy a dozen.

You can find all sorts of things for you bags!!! all types of keychains and other do dads for your OOT bags for CHEAP!! Happy hunting ladies!! Hey...welcome back!! I was waiting to see some of your pics..I just looked...you made a BEAUTIFUL bride!!! I loved the pics. Anyway...thanks for the tip...I love those pashminas...especially for the price. I also saw keychains too...but I had already purchased on a site visit last month. I will go look around some more though.

Thank you for the ideas!! Much appreciated. If anyone has anymore...please feel free to chime in!!

Wow...that was fast!!! I just received the suit and linen shirt. I can't believe how good the quality is!!! Can't wait for the FI to try it on. I ordered the suit on 1/31/10 and I have it in my hands today, 2/24/10!! I am now going to order the suits for the rest of the men in the bridal party. I wanted to be sure of the quality first.

Quote: Originally Posted by astreit Thanks for the info! I emailed them and they were prompt to send me a price quote including shipping. Do you know the dimensions of the scarfs though? I wanted to make sure they were more like shawls instead of scarfs. Thanks! I just took out my tape-measure...I measured them at roughly 28x72 inches not including the fringe. Definitely shawl like...I just love them!! I got some in the prettiest silver color!! May go back and get fucshia.

Hi, I am having a hard time trying to decide what to place in the bags of my male guests. I am placing pashmina's in ladies bags along with other items and want someting equally nice for the men that are not too expensive. Any ideas? Thanks.

Hey ladies, Vdaybride posted this vendor in a thread as having pashmina's. I went there this past weekend and I was able to purchase a dozen at $26 a dozen!! That works out to like $2.17 a scarf. I thought that I would post this in case anyone missed it. They have every color imaginable and you can mix and match. They also sell by the case which I think is 120 scarves. I assume that the price for a case is even cheaper. They are located at: 24 West 27th Street, New York, NY 10001. Between Broadway and 6th Ave. Their website had the pashmina colors and is located here: glass-html

Please post them...I worked with Rebecca on my monogram...very good to work with!!

Your invites are FABULOUS!!! I love them....you put so much time and energy into them...the vintage stamps, the envelope liners...all I can say is wow!!! I am awaiting delivery of my passport invites and looking at yours made me oh so excited!!! Job well done!!

I did mine through Traveller's insurance as part of my homeowner's insurance. Make sure that you get an additional rider for the ring. The basic policy will not begin to cover the cost of your ring.
