Hi ladies! Just wanted to say, make sure you pick up a copy of Taking Charge of Your Fertility! It was super informative. I went off BC a couple of weeks ago and I have been charting my basal body temperature since. It looks like I am not going to ovulate this month, which I never would've known if it wasn't for that book. It is a must read! Good luck and best wishes! Denielle

No problem ladies and thanks!

Wedding Weekend Survival Kit: Includes manicure kit, tissues, medications, hand sanitizer, lens cloth

Hi ladies! I wanted to pay it forward for all of the amazing ideas I've gotten for my OOT bags by posting a thorough thread about mine. We are giving our bags out at a little get-together about a month before the trip and are also giving out their travel documents then (less that I have to take with me to Mexico!) In the end, my bags ended up costing me about $15 per bag. I also included our "wedding favors" in the bags, and they cost about $4 per wedding favor. I am doing one bag per couple, so for certain things, they will get 2 of them (mugs, lanyards/key card holders, and 4 luggage tags). Here's the price breakdown and where I purchased everything: OOT Bags ~ $14.95 per bag $4.12 per favor bag & candle Bags http://www.dollardays.com/i425551-wholesale-16-5-neon-drawstring-bag.html $1.46 each (came in blue, red, purple, yellow, and green) Luggage Tags/Luggage Tag Straps http://tags.idcardgroup.com/productdetails.aspx?item=1840-620 $0.48 each http://tags.idcardgroup.com/productdetails.aspx?item=2410-20 $0.05 each =$0.53 per luggage tag, 2 luggage tags per singles bag ($1.06), 4 for couples ($2.12) Lanyards/Ziplock Badge Holders http://lanyards.idcardgroup.com/productdetails.aspx?item=Flat Woven Nylon $0.60 each http://holders.idcardgroup.com/productdetails.aspx?item=1815-1110 $0.35 each = $0.95 per lanyard, 2 lanyards for couples ($1.90) Ziplock Bags for Survival Kit $0.02 per bag at Dollar Tree Lens Cleaner http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LR8QK8 $0.07 per wipe Shout Wipes http://www.ebay.com/itm/170756656514?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 $0.42 per wipe Manicure Set http://www.dollartree.com/health-personal-care/bath-products/Beauty-Supplies-Cosmetics/4-Piece-Manicure-Sets/211c243c351p294255/index.pro?method=search $1.00 each (came in multiple colors – different blues, white, silver, red, pink) Ibuprofen http://www.staples.com/PhysiciansCare-Ibuprofen-50-Packets/product_565179 $0.26 per packet, 2 packets per bag Antacid http://www.staples.com/PhysiciansCare-Antacid-Tablets-50-Packets/product_802452 $0.38 per packet Sinus Decongestant http://www.staples.com/PhysiciansCare-Sinus-Decongestant-50-Packets/product_897626 $0.38 per packet Allergy Medication http://www.staples.com/PhysiciansCare-Allergy-50-Packets/product_750205 $0.42 per packet Anti-Bacterial Hand Stuff BathandBodyworks.com $0.75 each (came in several colors/scents) Packs of Tissues Staples In-Store $0.17 each Hand & Face Wipes Staples In-Store $1.00 each Travel Mugs https://www.dollartree.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=300511 $1.00 each (came in 4 types – all black and blue colors) Playing Cards http://www.dollardays.com/i822787-wholesale-playing-cards-poker-size-plastic-coated.html $1.03 each Match Books http://weddingshop.theknot.com/personalized-matchbooks-palm-trees.aspx $0.29 each (got a discount code on retailmenot.com) Travel Sewing Kits https://www.dollartree.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=297373 $1.00 each (came in multiple colors – pink, purple, neon green, black) Travel First Aid Kits http://dollardays.com/i634687-wholesale-family-care-first-aid-kit.html $1.54 each Travel Candle https://www.dollartree.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=321147 $1.00 each Wedding Favors Personalized Shot Glasses Ebay seller: Factory_21 $0.76 each, 2 per bag = $1.52 Match Books http://weddingshop.theknot.com/personalized-matchbooks-palm-trees.aspx $0.29 each (got a discount code on retailmenot.com) Organza Gift Bags Ebay Seller: lingsupplies $0.10 each Thank You Tag & Sticker for Favor Bags $0.32 each (when counting the shipping cost, item was free) Votive Candles Ebay Seller: lingsupplies $1.04 each Lumie Cuffs Etsy seller: thepaperynook $0.85 each Vistaprint projects Mug Tags $0.02 each (when counting the shipping cost, item was free) Keycard Holder Tags $0.02 each (when counting the shipping cost, item was free) Luggage Tag Cards $0.02 each (when counting the shipping cost, item was free) Thank You Card $0.02 (when counting the shipping cost, item was free) Wedding Timeline $0.10 (when counting the shipping cost, item was free) Cardstock for Survival Kit ~$0.50 per topper to print at Staples

So, this is the spreadsheet I used to figure out which package would work best for me. I think I posted it before a long time ago, but I've made some updates. I also added pricing for all of the wedding extras, based upon on what my WC sent me. It's somewhat self-explanatory but... Insert your # of Real Guests & Non-Real Guests in C4 & C5. If there are extras you want that aren't normally accounted for in a wedding package (the DJ, weekend wedding charge, musical entertainment, etc) - put the cooresponding item name and pricing somewhere between A14 & A18 (insert a new row if you have to) so that it gets added into the "Plus Extras" amount for each package. As you can see, I made a section for each of the wedding packages we were considering. Underneath the initial descriptions, I added in extras that we wanted for the reception (like cocktail hour, private reception, etc) and added them under each package so that it would calculate the actual total package pricing for us and what we wanted. For example, if you don't want to upgrade to a cocktail hour or you don't have an outside photographer, you can delete that line from every package and it'll update the pricing at the top. If you have questions, let me know. Royal PDC Wedding Package Comparisons.xls

I ordered mine through Wearableartz. She made it a little smaller for me. I think it looks better in person than it did in the pictures. Here's how it looked with my hair trial:
