Hello Cruise Brides~ Like me I am sure some of you are thinking about the extra expenses you are putting on your Bridal Parties. I have gone back and forth about the bridesmaids dresses. Fighting with myself about not only having them pay for the cruise but to buy a dress they will probably only wear once, ugh. Well I found a great idea I thought I might share with those of you who are thinking along the same lines. It is a dress that not only would your bridesmaids wear again and again, but it can be bought for a minimal price. I looked at the infinity dresses. They can all still match but have thier own style. Or you can have them wear it all the same way, up to you. And because they can be worn 100 different ways, they are sure to wear them again and again. Maybe even on the cruise. It also give versitility to those brides who have bridesmaids with a wide variation of body shapes.To look them up you can google, Infinity Dress or Convertible dress. Happy shopping.

My OOT Bags are going to be drawstring backpacks that are beach worthy we will be giving to each cabin. For the Older "kids" who are sharing a room, they will all get thier own.They will be decorated with a logo on one side and that family's last name on the other. All families with same last names will be given different color backpacks. Attached each will have a passport style welcome book with our welcome letter, cabin directory,itineraries ( wedding and optional), Bermuda Map, Fun Facts about Bermuda, Usefull places on the ship. In each have seperate clear plastic bags with wedding line tags: In Sickness and in health: 1st aid kit Solarcane Tylenol Tums Sea Sick Meds Chapstick In Good Times and Bad: Room Spray Tide to go pen Small CLock Lint roller Hairspray Highlighter For richer or poorer will be a card in the lanyard card holder For as long as we both shall live Outlet splitter We do have kids coming on the ship with us and anyone under 14 they will each have thier own little baggie of goodies with thier name on it in the family back pack. I am having my MOH ( sister) bring those on board. Oh also on each Passport Welcome booklet the Family name and cabin # will be on the cover so we can distribute them easily once on board. Hope this helps someone out there who is lost on what to do with thier welcome bags. Also for those who are buget conscience, the cost for each bag is under $30 including the bag.

I like the idea of having something special for each member of the family for each oot bag, but it is alot of work. If you are up to it, I love the make up bag idea for the women, you can do the same for the men just a more masculine travel bag. For the kids depending on ages, maybe younger ones could get a cute bag with goggles and a coloring book and crayons, mid age goggles and cards maybe older could get the bags like the adults.
