Magnet Calendar (free from Vista Print) - I forgot to include it in the actual pictures but here it is:

 

 

I thought about doing what I've seen on here where you make a label that says "In Sickness and In Health" to go over the top but I ended up just tying some brown raffia around the clear bags that I got at Party City.

 

The bags worked out to be about $10 each and I have 40 bags to give out.  We'll also include our itinerary, a list of everyone's name & place for their room number and welcome letter postcards that I ordered on VistaPrint

 

 

I think that's it!!!!!
