l think some guests would prefer the OOT bag simply because they may not be interested in excursions.  I know some family and friends will probably want to chill by the pool the whole time and will not be interested in doing anything planned.

When I went to a destination wedding and received an OOT bag I was so excited. I think it's a special touch that guest will appreciate. I'm actually looking forward to start putting OOT bags together for my wedding!

Originally I was not planning on doing OOT bags, but we ended up going with them. I think it depends on you and your group. I did not do the whole med's thing in them, since our group is small and they know what to pack when travelling, so we felt those items would not be used. I got free bags from vistaprint, and are using them more as a way to hold some gifts. Small items, like personalized pens and key rings, a welcome book with information and games and "meet the guests" pages, a hat, and our big-ticket items... bubba kegs and small video cameras. The only meds I included were some aloe and SPF lip chap. 

 

So, you can totally go big with the OOT bags too... and to prevent the bags from never being used again, we just put the location on the bags, not our names or anything like that. So you could try something like that.

 

We are also planning an excursion, but are not paying for it. We are just saying, This is what we are doing at this time. If you want to join us, this is what it will cost. If not, no worries.

 

Hope that helps with your thought process!

I have a candid picture of each person or couple, then their names, relationship to the couple, and a place to write their room number.

I just have a few pages like this. It looks like we will have a pretty small group, but I figured ah well. :)

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
