Re: OOT BAGS

I haven't made these but here are some ideas of things to put:

-- map with directions from the hotel to the Ceremony & RH
-- list of things to do in the area
-- list of important phone numbers (BMs, parents, etc)
-- snacks / candy / chocolate / fruit / drinks

Other options:
-- flowers
-- tea and coffee and possibly a mug or two

I made a lay out of information for a book fold insert the front will say:

Welcome & Thank you
for traveling so far,
Be it by airplane, train of just by car.
We hope that you have a good time
while you’re here,
Sharing in our wedding happiness
& cheer!

We made a little bag,
Completely full of treats,
Whether your mouth gets dry & thirsty,
Or you’re in the mood for some sweets.
It’s just a small token
Full of our Love, Hugs & Kisses,
To Thank You for the trip you’ve made
To see the new Mr.& Mrs.!


Happy Memorial Day Weekend
2010

Re: OOT BAGS

You hit all the good places! One you may want to look at is Besito (little kiss) another wonderful Huntington Village restaurant. Blue Honu is now Honu so you may want to correct the name. Cocofe is a good dessert place (although I haven't been there since they reopened). And Crumbs bakery has awesome cupcakes.

I LOVE Besito! They have the best home-made guacamole!


OP: you may want to somehow mention prices since some of these places are very expensive. Maybe something like a 'price legend' with one dollar sign for cheap food, and five dollar signs for expensive.
