OH MY!!.. You weren't kidding about the shipping price.. Maybe I can find someone making a trip to NYC within the next year. )

Thanks for sharing!!.. these look great!.. I'll check out their site. )

Hello Ladies, you all have done a fabulous with your OOT Bags!  Thanks for the inspiration and ideas!!

I am now really wanting to add Pashminas to my bags for the ladies.. I was thinking of doing my colors at first.. But I think it would be best to go with a color that will match whatever they wear.. So I am thinking black, white, or ivory, or even grey/silver.. Do you ladies know where I can find some that are a good quality online? Or possibly at a store I would have locally?

I am going to need approx. 20 or more of these, so of course I want to get a good deal.

Thanks in advance! )

These are AMAZING!!.. I have a ton of these cups I have used for other crafting projects.. Never thought to use them in that way. Thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks for sharing!!.. you did a Great job and job some great deals!  I'm gonna have to check our Medco for my OOT bags items. )

WOW... you did a Fabulous job!!.. Thanks for sharing with us! And thanks for the ideas.

Great Thread!!... Thanks for the breakdown and pictures!!.. )

OMG.. OMG!!... You must post pictures!!!  Those are my wedding colors!!  I feel the need to leave work now and go to my Local Old Navy to check them out!! lol.

Best Buy has some super cute bags!.. I'm not sure how much they are, but they too are the reusable shopping bags so they shouldn't be much. I wish I wuld have snagged a pic, but they are yellow and grey. They may have had simple flowers or just polka dots. I thought they would be great for guys or anyone using the color yellow. It was just too far off from our color scheme.

I will try to post a picture later when I run home on my lunch break. I'm still on the lookout for some others because there are some guys going that I don't think would love a bright pink bag But for all the ladies, I thought these were perfect!

Ahh. That's awesome!!  I'm not sure if all stores are set up the same.. that was only the 2nd time I've been in one.. But it was on the left side of the store on about the middle isle. There were 2 isles with $1 to $3 items. One isle had a few great things.. Manicure sets $1, nail files 2 for $1, Notepads, pens, lotions, eye cover $1, etc. And then the next isle was kid items in the $1 - $3 range. They had a lot of great items for younger kids!! $1 loofas, lip glosses, toys, etc.  And then I saw these amazing bags!!  lol.. They also had some in white and red stripes I believe.. they were more of a landscape sized bag and had a cute animal on them.

I have purchased some but I have not used them. They are light weight but I know I have seen the same ones elsewhere for $4-5. In my opinion, I think it's best to go with these and have names or your logo put on them. It will save you a ton of money and if someone looses them or never uses them again it wont be a big deal.

I'm just nervous that the dollar store mugs won't keep anything cold because they're made cheaper. Anyone used dollar store mugs that can offer any advice?

You did a GREAT job!!.. Thanks for sharing!!

WOW... These are great!!  Thanks for sharing!.. I never got to ask my friends if they wanted to be my bridesmaids they more or less just told everyone at the bridal shoes they were so they would stop asking.. I'm definitely going to do something cute for them and "officially" ask them. )

Thanks Principessa!!  )

Thanks Girl!  I know I'd love to have one if I was their age. These are a great quality to use as a beach bag. I was very surprised for $1. 

I am soo excited..  I keep seeing everyones ideas ad I feel like I should start doing everything now so that I can get all these projects done without stressing.. lol.. When is your wedding date?

I have also read about people doing this, and I think it's a great way to save money. I would say make sure you add the labels, but most importantly maybe you should check with customs or the airline you are traveling on. Because I know I did read somewhere here that all OTC medications had to be in their original packages. You just want to make sure they don't confiscate them. That would not be good. (

Great post!!.. Keep up the pics ladies... )

I have never heard or seen this idea before...  Thanks for sharing!! This is a great idea!..

Has anyone found any further thread re: this idea??

 

I LOVE the idea because you can do it with any amount of guests and it is something that will be in our home forever.

I just love to look at wedding and engagement rings.. So I thought what better way to get to see all of you ladies gorgeous rings and you get to show them off!.. )

Here is mine... He went to Jared!.. That's the first time I've said that.. lol. )

Thanks for sharing!!.. I've been looking at these for days, and this is by far the best one I've seen!! )

Shop - LynnClaire. Just search her shop, she has the same & tons of others with different wood types.

I received it about a few days after I ordered.

Oh and one of my FI's brothers is into magic.. So the cards in the pic are magic cards.. I also found these at Michael's for a $1..  I just got to find "guy" bags like these for the 2 boys.

 I am sooo excited about these bags I found today!!!!  )

I found these and thought they would be great for my Fiance's little sisters that are coming to our Destination wedding.. (We're gonna do the kids their own bags with towels and a few other "kid items")

I found these at Michael's for $1..   Now if only I could find a larger version in our wedding colors, I'd be super Excited!!!..

sorry.. not a great pic.. I'm not sure how to add them quite right yet...

Ahh, awesome!!.. And Congrats!!

Oh my, the pictures I have seen of the royal overlook are absolutely amazing!!..

We are getting our guests to stay at Atlantis.. Having our ceremony at the Cloisters and the reception at Luciano's. (Or at least that is our hopes.)  )  I love the reception sites at Atlantis, but we about fell out when we saw the reception dinner was a minimum of $150pp.

Is all of your guests staying at the Atlantis?

Im a newbie on this forum so just kinda checking everything out a little bit at a time.  My FI & I are getting married at Atlantis October 6! We will be doing our ceremony on cove beach & reception/cocktail hour at the royal overlook! Hope to help with ideas & what not if needed

Ahh, that's a great idea! Be sure to post pictures since your wedding is before mine. ;o)

I meant to say I was going to get the travel mugs from the $1 tree. I have bought them for other vinyling ideas and they seem to do pretty durable for the price.
