OOT Bags...done! With Pictures!!!

[bride2be31011]

Hey ladies! I'm finally done with our OOT bags! Yay! Ours aren't too fancy, but that's what I love about them.  Let me know what you think! We still have 6 weeks until the wedding, so I still have time to add stuff if I want

 

Bags: Purchased at Michaels in a pack of 15 for $5

Sign on Bag: Coral and Teal cardstock I cut and printed

Brochures: Vistaprint - 25 free, shipping and handling $12

San Diego Tour Book: 25 Free from San Diego Chamber of Commerce

Orbit Gum: Pack of 12 for $8.88

Directions: got directions provided by our coordinator and printed them on 1/2 sheets of presentation paper on my own

Little notebook with matching pen: Got 10 for $1 each at Michael's

Sunblock: Got 10 for $1.97 each at Walmart

Hand Sanitizers: Got 10 for $10 at Bath and Body Works

Motion Sickness Relief: Bottle of 100 tablets for $3.87 at Walmart

Excedrin: Bottle of 300 Tablets at Costco for $9

Baggies for medicine: 175 bags for $3

Baggies for Swedish Fish: 100 bags for $4 at Michaels, Ribbon from Michaels, Made labels myself, Swedish Fish 1.9 lb bag at Target for $4.44

 

And I may add small packages of tissues too. 

 

So rounding up, each bag with goodies included cost about $7.75 for each.  Which I think is pretty darn good!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Swedish Fish Label says "Deepest Thanks"

very nice....where did you get the medicine bags..I already ordered my indiv packet of advil but I use your idea for other medicine products to save money. LOOKS GREAT!!

very awesome!

Love the simple bag idea and it will travel easily!

My ideas for contents are to think of what you usually end up buying from the hotel-room mini-bar & hotel gift-shop (if you ever do). That way, you are saving them some money by already providing them with it. We always end up buying at least one snack, at least one large bottled water and then from the gift shop we usually will buy a couple magazines or something to read and sunscreen, mini liquor bottles aren't a bad idea either...although I don't know if hotels allow that. 

good job on everything!

I found them at Michael's in the jewelry section. They are 2 x 3 inch bags.  If you ask any of the ladies that work there, they will guide you in the right direction

I was going to suggest the exact same thing for these baggies.  If you have a Hobby Lobby nearby their jewelry supplies go on sale quite often and usually at half price!
