Re: OOT Guest Gift Bags
I got white plain bags from Michaels... Punch out 2 holes on the top of each and tied a black& white ribbon bow... then put 2 heart stickers near the right corner of each bag...all supplies and bags cost approx $35 and that was for about 40 bags...
we will put candy, snacks, water, tylenol, etc... in them...

1 cd of the guitarist we are having for the ceremony
And a wine charm.

Re: OOT Guest Gift Bags
Just curious are the bags supposed to be given even if the OOT guests are staying in a hotel rather than your home. When should the bags be given? Sorry if its a stupid question.

We are giving the bags to our guests who are staying at the hotel (no one is staying at our house)... The bags will be given out at the from tdesk of the hotel when our guests check in...

Re: OOT Guest Gift Bags
I'm actually going to do boxes instead of bags. I worried that all my effort in putting together the bags might go to waste if the hotel just stuffs them all under the desk--you know how those bags get kind of wrinkled. There was a picture of it in In Style a while ago--it was a brown box with a blue ribbon and a sticker with a pic of the couple on top.

Re: OOT Guest Gift Bags
My mom and I bought all our stuff at Cosco. We made the packages out of wire bread baskets and wrapped them up in cellaphane tied with a bow. We put
2 bottles of water
1 packet of Fruit snacks
1 apple
1 orange
1 pack of gum
1 packet of trail mix
2 Kellogg's Nutri-grain breakfast bars
1 packet of oreos, ritz or cheez its
1 baggie full of candy
1 individually wrapped coffee cake
A guide of things to do and see on LI (Got these from Uniondale Marriott)
We made about 20 baskets for less than $200. I will post a pic tomorrow, it's on my work computer.
Edited to add pic:
This a a picture of one of the larger baskets we made for DH's godmother. The others were smaller and we used round wire baskets.

Re: OOT Guest Gift Bags
I went to the dollar store and bought nice cheap gift bags. In them I put:
2 bottles of water, two bags of chips, two bags of cookies, a bag of crackers, some assorted lifesavers, cream savers, mints, a pack of gum, and a packet of tylenol (really came in handy for a lot of people the next day). We bought everything in bundles at price club. Everyone loved the bags. They were so unexpected and everyone thought they were a great touch and came in very handy because they had a lot of snacks for their room!!

Re: OOT Guest Gift Bags
I bought really cute bags at Target - very Martha Stewart and only 99 cents!!
Then we went to Costco and raided all the isles. I had water bottles, chips, cookies, trail mix, mentos, pretzels, asprin, rice krispy treats, etc... And I also went to Michaels and got nice paper and wrote a note and tied it in a ribbon to put in the bag. We dropped them off at the hotel the day before.
