CANADIAN OOT BAG info...where to shop!

I didn't even think of Liquidation World - great idea!!

For anyone in Ontario, I just bought my floating tubes to put in oot bags from toys-r-us and loblaws. Loblaws was slightly cheaper at $3.44/tube, kids were $1.44. TRU was $4.99ish.

I should have specified that they're for the pool to float around in...

Great thread, i'm glad i stumbled onto it.

 

We just picked up our OOT bags at Dollorama for $2/each, and they are a brown and blue burlap-type bag (they had other colors too). For our wedding party, I got really nice canvas bags at Chapters for 75% off right now.

 

Does anyone think it's tacky to ask other people to check bags full of wedding stuff for you?

Nope! We plan on having our parents and all our bridal party pitch in and bring stuff down in their luggage!

I don't think it's tacky to ask. We decided to upgrade to first class to get the extra weight limit. It wasn't too expensive at all.

We were thinking of just giving the bags out before we go so we don't have to worry about it.... is that bad??

Not at all. It's probably easier. I'd do it but some of my guests are flying out from a different spot. We're doing a welcome dinner and giving out the bags.

Okay, welcome dinner and handing out of OOT bags is an awesome idea. How are you letting people know the welcome dinner? Word of mouth or are you doing a program?

I'm sending out a program about 1 month in advance. I know many women on this forum have done it and included templates. I'm not very good so I'm having Rebecca create it for me. She's on this site and awesome. She does free monograms for BDW forum members.
