I am pretty stressed aboiut the weight too --I can never get it under for a normal vacation let alone my wedding LOL...so I have upgraded my FI and I and the 2 kids to the Elite status for the extra luggage allowance --so I get 2 whole extra luggages! ...and i told my bridesmaids I may need some of their luggage space hahahaha

Julie I got the same tunblers from Dollar Tree and ordered the waterproof lables from Etsy that say "to have and to hold, to keep your drink cold" ...I got fuschia and orange for the ladies and the blue and lime green for the guys ...I LOVE THEM

What shop in Etsy has the waterproof labels? I might go the tumbler route instead of stadium cups if its cheaper, although stadium cups probably take up less luggage space!

So I got 4 lip balms for under $3.... I am short though as well but did see that Dollarama has the green Blistex spf for 1.25...so im gonna have to suck it up I guess and pay for the extra's...as I wiped my Zellers out. 

 

Also for anyone looking for Advil the Dollar Tree in the US has it for $1.00 ...best find I got.

I finally gave up after weeks of looking for Jute bags --as my OOT bag and I ordered from Vistaprint. I got a great deal at 33% ...just waiting for them to get here --I hope they are ok.

I'm so glad i found this thread!! Originally, I was thinking of ordering the tumblers from VistaPrint...but $50 would've cost me close to $300!  Doing what you ladies are doing would cost me less than $100.  And those labels off of Etsy are soooo much cuter! Thank you!

Definitely check out dollarama. I got my cups for $1.25 and 36 stickers were $35...so for about $60 I got 25 personalized tumblers. Awesome

I ordered 38 tubes of Aloe (I figured one per person). The box was pretty heavy!! And the tubes are bigger than I was expecting (I thought 150 ml would have been smaller, but I'm horrible at judging these things). Now I'm really worried about bringing all 38 down in a suitcase because of the weight! lol
