Okay, I realize I originally posted about the different sizes but after all my states of denial I am going to have around 100+ guests.  Outside of luggage what other options are you all doing for bringing stuff down as your second checked bag?  I remember seeing a post where a BDW bride had large black bags but I can't find it to ask her where she got them from.  Since I can't convince people they should stay home any suggestions on what to do?

I'm confused at your post Razzy,,,, What are u asking??? How you get stuff down there???

[Tropical Love]

Raazzy,

  you could always ask you friends and or family to stash things in their bags.  That's what Im doing....people offered so I said yes!  I'm only having 60 people, I can only imagine carrying stuff for 100.     

 

Good luck,

Yolanda

Great suggestion of mixing it up, too bad I didnt read this before buying a deck of cards for every bag

FutureMrsTO - one thing I'm doing that might work well for you is put slighly different items in each persons bag.  For example, maybe a frisbee in one bag, but a deck of cards in the next bag, and a beach ball in another bag.  Not every person needs a frisbee/deck of cards/etc since people will be playing with others.  This way you're still including a whole bunch of different items, but it wont be as expensive with all the bags you need to do!

Maybe your MOH, Mother, Sister-In-Law etc don't need the two checked bags?  So I would suggest asking them to check under their name. 

 

I put luggage on my registry (and got it!) so we were able to take everything in

4 large checked bags

two carry ons

1 garment bags for suits and 1 for my dress

=no charge. 

 

Now when i tell you everything I brought:

78 OOT bags (packed flat-survival kits & snack bags pre-assembled)

20 candle holders & candles

10-6x8 table numbers in frames

3-5x7 frames for place card table

champagne glasses in box

cake knives

cake topper

50 flat bamboo program fans

menu & place cards

 

you'll have no problem!!

btw BAGS ARE A HIT!! people really appreciated them!!!!

Wow! There is hope for me afterall, haha. I just keep buying more and more stuff! Eight months to go I can only imagine how much more I'll accumulate by the time it comes time to pack! Hearing you got it all down there with no trouble makes me feel a million times better. Glad your OOT bags were a hit. Not surprised though...I remember your post about them and they were fab!
