Bubba Kegs

[Vancouver Bride]

Erinmc--what what your cost per person for the mug and personalization? Did you order online or go around to several stores? They look amazing!!!

For all you Canadain brides, do you think that it would be worth it to make a trip to the US to pick these up or wait until there is a sale nearby?

To All my US friends, has anyone seen an Bubba end of season sale of  mugs at their local walmart or target stores?

I used lowercase white letters for girls' mugs and uppercase black letters for the boys' mugs. the vinyl letters stick on and are weatherproof, but you can remove them with a hair dryer.

 

please let me know if you have any questions!

 

 

These look amazing!  My only question is, how difficult is it going to be to travel with them?  Do you just plan on checking an extra suitcase for your OOT bags?  I am just in the beginning process of planning my wedding and trying to wrap my head around the logistics of larger items for OOT bags.

What we decided to do is hand out most of our OOT bags the night before departure, or at the airport. Almost everyone will be leaving from the same airport as us, and since that airport is a ways away from where we all live (even though we all live in different places), quite a few of us will be staying the night before in a hotel near the airport (also good for parking the car while gone!). So we will be giving what we can then, and another one or two at the airport. So we will probably only have to take 3-4, max, with us, for the people going earlier (FI's parents) or meeting with our group further along at our Toronto stop over. So that should not be too bad, hopefully.

That is, of course, if everything goes to plan!

we packed a large box (the max luggage size allowed) with bubbas, bags, freeze-dried rose petals and larger items like bulky shoes. the cost was $30 for the extra suitcase, but it worked out just fine. we also fit in the mini bottles of aloe and after sun lotion, as well as ceremony essentials like straw fans and programs. I had a lot of stuff for my small wedding party of 12, but everything fit! : )

In case anyone is still looking - canadian tire has bubba kegs going on sale on July 20th. 50 per cent off! Just got the advance notification. It may still be cheaper for me to buy them on the bubba website bc I need over 50 but thought I would let you all know.

Thanks! I just checked and I got the email too... Strange how sometimes the email notifications work, and sometimes they don't.

Great deal!- wish I lived in Canada!

We are struggling between spending the extra money and getting the real Bubba Kegs from the online Bubba shop (Canadian tire didn't have enough stock) or going the Factory 21 or Discount Mug route which still look great but aren't the hardcore ones. We have over 50 people coming so we will get a discount on bubba mug site (15% off) but that is still a lot on mugs. Anyone have any thoughts on whether or not people appreciate the bubbas or if they would know the difference?
