For all of you previous brides - did you do coolers????

[jak27]

Ok ladies,

 

Has anyone gotten married and used the collapsible coolers as your OOT bag? My FI loves the idea of the cooler, and I think it's adorable, but I'm having issues putting our name on it, if we're really spending the $$ for our guests, I want them to use it in the future. We already have koozies w/ our names, so I think this is overkill.

 

Any thoughts?

 

Did you do coolers, and did your guests use them, or do they use them now?

 

HELP!

i wish i would have thought about it - i totally would have done this! but then i would have skipped the koozies. but anyway - i know someone on here did this - and she had them personalized. what about just getting a monogram/logo with just the location and date, and maybe your names in smaller print if you want - that's what i did (and a lot of us) for the OOT bags, since we didn't want our names plastered all over something they may want to use again.

Yeah, Ann I hear ya. I'm totally not into having our names on everything. The koozies are really cute, but for a cooler, I would prefer that our guests like it enough to reuse.

 

FI thinks that if we do our coral on it with Los Cabos or something, that it looks like a generic cooler from Cabo, like a tshirt or something you can pick up at the shops.

 

I know Melissa did some and they were darling, so who knows what we'll end up with.

 

Oh well. I'll keep yall posted on who wins this one!

We did coolers for our wedding party as thank you gifts...we stuffed them with bathing suits, flip flops and all kinds of beachy stuff.

That is such a good idea! I love the cooler idea. I think just the place and the date would be nice on the bag.

Where did you purchase your coolers? I have 65 guests so I wouldn't want to spend a fortune on them but I really like this idea. Any suggustions to where I could get some cheap ones?

Great idea Melissa. Thanks!

I didn't do coolers but I know of someone who did and didn't put their names on it, just a very generic tropical type picture and the name of the location (island). I thought it was a super cute idea and if i got someting like that, I would totally save and reuse it in the future.

Thanks for your input!

The company I work for takes us on a sales trip every year and I get such great ideas from their welcome bags. Everything they give us has our company logo as well as the location and year. For Maui we got the coolers with an attached bottle opener stuffed with flip flops, long sleeved t's (to wear to the welcome bonfire), beach towels, sunscreen, sunglass cases and the itinerary.

I use everything all the time regardless of what it says on it. The cooler is so handy.
