I am also curious to know about waterproof labels...because that's exactly what we have in mind but we want to make sure it will withstand the heat / water / LOTS of use. We're thinking about Bubba Kegs (midsize) with a clear label with our monogram on it. This way, people can also peel the logo off after the trip and use the bubba kegs...

Are we on the same page with all of this? Please keep me posted...thanks

We are having trouble finding some favors for the guys in our group? Any ideas on things they might use? We are doing koozies, snacks, and medicines for sure...

I ordered my stickers for my mugs from zazzle. They are however white, not clear. I would buy some cheap clear labels and test them out.

I had a hard time brain storming for ideas for the guys, too. In the end.....all of the guests got almost exactly the same OOT bags....(i.e. thank you letter, map, big-day timeline, local maps, custom-labeled water bottles, mini-sunscreen packets, snacks

except...
the ladies got tropical smelling lip balms and a cute pashmina I purchased locally
and
the boys got mini-liquor bottles, flavor-less lip balms, and flip flops

What an awesome thread! I just sat down with a pen and paper and got amazing ideas! Thanks to everyone!!

SDNative-I love the idea for mini liquor bottles. Do you, or any of you ladies, know the rules on putting the liquor bottles in your luggage? Will they let you take the bottles over to Mexico if you pack them in your checked luggage

I actually just went thru the stuff we have and realized I forgot a few things. First of all, we did one bag per party so if a couple was there, they got one bag with stuff for both. If it was a single guy or girl, they got one bag with just stuff for them. So the things that we gave:

pashminas

flip flops for everyone

and ball caps or visors

custom beer cozy's

votives (beach theme)

sunscreen

dramamine (boat to our wedding)

advil

water bottles (with our logo)

deck of cards

spanish book

brochure (vistaprint)

 

Probably a few more odds and ends that I am forgetting. People loved them though.

Great suggestion for next day headaches and maybe spf chapstick to add!

I think the drinks for dummies are a good idea... remember going to the all inclusive resorts and being clueless as what to order
