Darn, my last post didn't make it! Here is the koozie proof:

Here is the koozie proof! So cute, I'm obsessed with it! I used "drink" instead of "beer" since there will be some kids at our wedding, and I wanted them to be able to join in on the fun.

Ladies, I've been doing a lot of work on my OOT bags and wanted to share what I've found so far. I've done tons of research to find the best prices. Bags: $.88 per bag, or $10 for 12 bags @ Oriental Trading Company Hibiscus bags. Hand Sanitizer: $1 per item, Bath and Body Works First Aid Kits: $1 or less, buy the Johnson and Johnson kits on eBay and shop around for a good price! Key Card Holders: $.24 a piece, Advantus 75524 Resealable badge holder, 2-5/8 x 3-3/4, vertical, prepunched, 50 per box/$12.00 purchased from Amazon.com these were JUST $12 per 50 last week, but the price has gone up! Whistle Key Chain Bracelets: $.26 a piece, or $3 per dozen, Oriental Trading Custom Playing Cards: $1.41 apiece, www.favorwarehouse.com These don't look like much online, but you can customize a sticker for them. Just got them in and I'm very happy with them! Custom spf Lip Balms: $1.25 apiece, www.icandywrappers.com Custom drink koozies: $1.04 apiece, www.totallypromotional.com. I had to email a rep there to get them done the way I wanted. I'll post a picture of the proof below. Pashminas: waiting on final pricing, but looks to be $2.67 apiece, http://www.pioneergroup27.com/ Crossword Puzzles/Sudoku books: $1 apiece at Dollar General Spanish Phrase Book: 4 for $6 at Amazon.com Also from OTC: Marvelous Metal key chain clips (carabiners): $10/50 Sandal Notepads for the kids: $5/doz Island Hibiscus Hair Ties: $4/30 pieces Palm Tree Goody Bags: $1.49/doz Glow Bracelets (for the kids at my reception): $.40 a piece, or $20 for 50 I'm still working on the final touches for my First Aid Kits. Amazon has Pepto, Advil, and Aloe for about $1 each but I feel like I can find it somewhere else cheaper.

Someone else from this site turned me onto http://www.pioneergroup27.com/... I just sent them an email to get pricing, but the word is that they run $30/dozen for solid colors or $32/dozen for prints.

Woohoo thanks for the info!

Check out the hibiscus bags from Oriental Trading Company! They are less than $1 per bag and very cute. I'm happy with the quality. I'm making 48 OOT bags, so I couldn't afford paying a whole lot per bag. I think these are colorful and fun.

I ordered mine from Favorwarehouse.com. They came in at about $1.40 per set, including shipping.

I just emailed them to ask about a few of their patterned Pashminas. I'll let you girls know how they look when they come in! Here are the ones I am interested in:

I would be so impressed if I was a guest at your wedding and got this bag. Good job!

God bless! Thanks Adias!

Your monograms are beautiful! My new last name is going to be McDSomething. I'm struggling with do I do just an M, or a McD? I don't know the proper monogram for my new last name!

I just got a good laugh at the rest of the posts on here... everyone is trying so hard for the 150! I'm right with you, girls! The good news is that I feel like the 150 minimum is forcing me to read all of these posts, and my wedding will be better for my guests as a result.

That is such a cute idea! I've been trying to find custom ziploc bags, but I might just use your idea instead!

Beautiful- I love the little starfish!

Good job, everything looks good!

Those are gorgeous!

Those are beautiful, good job!

That's beautiful! The picture of the bridge and groom cutting the cake cracked me up!

Thanks for the link!

I just read a thread about first look photos, which I think are ADORABLE. I have a lot of medically related vision problems, and contacts are not an option. I almost never wear glasses except when watching TV or driving, so I don't plan on wearing them on my wedding day. I'm thinking about doing first look photos so that even if I don't necessarily see my hubby to be's expression, it will be captured in pictures. I'm also thinking about asking him to stand with his back to me until I can see HIM so that we can share our first look, a la Will and Kate. What do you guys think about that? Is it weird to have the groom face away until I approach the alter?

This is way too cute. Let me add this to "Trash the dress" and my regular photos!

Forget her, and stay far away. She's an angry person. To be honest, I think we all know that as brides, we can be somewhat self-centered even when we try not to be, but there is absolutely no reason for her to lash out at you like that. Especially if you've been checking in on her husband and being a good friend as you've described.

Has anyone bought spf balm from any of the wedding supply sites? I'm thinking about it, but I want to make sure the lip balm isn't crappy.

I don't think OTC can send just a few colors--mine arrived in a pre-packaged bag of 12.
