I am doing one per couple, with an extra bag for each single guest. We are spending about $30 per bag.

I'm spending between $15-$20/bag for a couple, and about $10-$15 for a single. The bags themselves are $1 (Dollar Tree), personalized travel mugs ($4.50), hand sanitizer (3/$1), Reed Diffusers ($2.50), First Aid Kits ($1), Emergen-C Packets, Natural Meds, Zip Lock Badge Holder and Lanyards. I also ordered postcards from Vista print to tie to each of them and I'll also get some trifold brochures made with helpful info that I'll also put inside. The dollar store is your best friend for these bags!

Here's my plan and I'm really hoping to keeping under $15/bag. LOL Somehow I don't see that happening though....
Pre-departure
-Personalized pen (FREE from vistaprint)
-Jamaica One Love Brochure (FREE from Visit Jamaica)
-Jamaica Attractions & Tours Brochure (FREE from Visit Jamaica)
-Either Newsletter or Brochure w/relevant detail (hopefully free from vistaprint!)
-Sudoko/Crossword books from Dollar Tree (should be 2/$1)
Welcome Bag
-Personalized Tote (FREE from vistaprint!)
-Neon Sunglasses (1 per bag)
-Travel Mugs (this is per person, so I'm still unsure how I will be doing this)
-Room Key Holder
-Aloe
-Chapstick
-Advil
-Immodium
-Thank You letter/brochure
So excited to create these!!! I really hope everyone likes them!

oh my goodness 75 is great! That's an awesome turnout. We've spent about $10 a person so far, but still adding things. I'm thinking about $20 a bag for us. We definitely made out big at dollar tree.

We had a total of 45 people at the wedding in St. Thomas and that equated to 25 bags total. We spent around $30 per bag and here is what was in them:
~The bag was actually a reusable grocery bag that folded up quite small for traveling purposes and most of our guests ended up using them as beach bags while they were down there (which is what I was hoping for)!!! We had 2 colors, blue and orange (our wedding colors);
~Towels in orange and blue with a ribbon wrapped around it in the opposite color;
~A Mix CD with our favorite songs;
~Sunscreen with a personalized sticker with "Enjoy Your Stay, Amy & Greg, St. Thomas, 2-25-2011";
~SPF Chapstick;
~Water bottles;
~Snacks;
~A "St. Thomas Survival Kit" that included Advil, Pepto, Propel powder, mints, and antibacterial hand wipes;
~An itinerary of events;
~A welcome letter personalized to each guest;
~And since we were getting married on St. Thomas, we bought mini bottles of rum (Cruzan which is made on St. Croix) and Spices from the St. John Spice Company. This would have been what we gave as a favor, but we put it in the bag instead and didn't do favors at the actual reception.

You can also check out Parrot Canvas Company. I ordered canvas bags for $16.50 they are really cute. I've been buying my welcome bag items for about a year and my wedding is in October. So far I have flip flops, sunscreen, toothpaste, toothbrush (I always forget mine and have to buy one when I get to my destination) dental floss, post cards, welcome letter and I would love to include monogram towels but I'm not sure yet.
I love this bag suggested by melissa 7821! Check it out:
That's perfect. I wanted a bag that would close, but not too expensive. The small ones are only $2.49!
