I know, I know, I was looking for cotton too. But from all I found, the cotton (duck canvas) ones with contrast straps are more expensive, because cotton's more expensive. (The polyester ones did have white contrasted with navy blue, royal blue, black, or red, I believe...) Benefit to the polyester with PVC backing is that they're waterproof. That's really the only benefit I can think of...

*sigh* And from everything I could find, the "teacher's tote" was synthetic too, as I saw the exact same bag listed on another website that gave more details on the fabric.

If you happen to find good ones, please do post the link! I'm still looking, as I won't be ready to buy until I know exactly how many I need. =) Don't know whether I'm going to put anything on them at all, except perhaps a heat-transfer of the turtle symbol that has accompanied some of our save-the-dates and address labels. We want our guests to remember us when they use the bags, but don't want our names plastered all over them. We're self-conscious like that. cheesy.gif

lyrebard - we're not putting our names on them either. I was going to do our footprints in sand (which we have on our website), but I wasn't sure if it was going to come out ok, and it was pricey, so now I'm thinking of the palm tree that some girls got from creative montage (it is kind of vintagey looking) in either brown, red, or aqua, and perhaps "Riviera Maya, Mexico May 4, 2008" so that it'll be a memory of their trip and maybe the wedding date, but it won't shout me me me too much. I might do a silly shot glass (my mom is not so happy about that) with the same logo but with our names, since those are supposed to be crazy like that. Regardless, I assume people wil use the bags for groceries, or the gym, or maybe the beach again, so I'm not too worried.

If you're still looking, I just found this one, too. 100% cotton, a number of colors (with white as main color and red/blue/black), and under $4 when you order 24 or more.

 

And this, but they're $4.17 each.

 

At this point, I think I'm listing them as much for me, for when I need to buy them in a month or two, LOL.

thanks lyrebard - I won't actually know how many people are coming until a month or two either, I'm just trying to prepare myself too - and maybe avoid more important things, like registering for gifts, finding bridesmaid dresses (at this point, normal dresses at department stores), etc., and distracting myself while I wait for my WC to send me samples of music from bands now that she finally found some bands, and to let me know if my flowers are possible. I turned out to be such a freaking bridey bride!

    • 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!
