I am glad I read this, I was considering OOT bags too, now I don't think I will do them.

Alternatives to OOT bags?

I'm debating on this as well. I hate the thought of packing all that with me along with everything else I need to bring! Ughhh!

I'm in the same boat! Was considering them, but now I think I will just do a larger favor instead.

I felt like I was the only one considering not doing the OOT bags!

It's almost taboo, isn't it, to say you don't want to do them?
In our case, our families would end up throwing most of it away, so we'd much rather put the money into something they will remember, like sailing!

I understand with 30 guests the cost adds up. I am doing an OOT bag per room/and or couple. I will have a few single people, but I do not think that I will have that many people at my wedding. I am definetly on a budget and I must start buying a little at a time. Good Luck! Remember - Have fun. Don't sweat the small stuff.

I've had to travel for a lot of my friends weddings because they all got married in Boston this summer right after my fiance and moved to Texas...and quite honestly, I felt terrible but the favors always ended up in the hotel room trash can (except the edible ones)...I probably shouldn't have just admitted that hahaha |
