Re: OOT Bags... inspiration
Someone had asked about this on 2011 before so I'll just paste here what I wrote:
I am going to probably get those Gable boxes and make a label for them and put a bunch of stuff in each for each room. Things I have on my list are:
- Welcome Note (which will include a Timeline) - Personalized Water Bottles - Tylenol - Tums - Alka Seltzer - Small bags of Chips/Pretzels - Some kind of chocolate candy (probably M&Ms) - Personalized Door Hanger - Comb - Mini Toothpaste - Trail Mix - Granola Bars - Mints/Gum

Re: OOT Bags... inspiration
i plan to put this postcard in my bag (made free from vistaprint) Not 100% certain what I am doing about the actual bag...but wanting to save a little money i saw personalized ones from oriental trading that were SO cheap i may order them even though i dont like the colors that are available. bags
I posted on the 11 board also, but I'm using these bags since half of our guests are OOT! I'm going to put some food, water an info about the area in there.
I used regular white bags from Michaels and tied a personalized welcome note to the bags with information for the guests. Inside we had 2 regular sized bottles of water, a granola bar, a bag of Linden's chocolate chip cookies, a package of peanut butter crackers, and some mini chocolate bars.

Re: OOT Bags... inspiration
thanks girls! a friend at work gave me a stamp of a wedding cake that she used for hers. she said she just stamped the outside of a plain bag to make it prettier. hte oriental trading bags are CHEAP though! i have to look into that!
I have to figure out how many I will need though! I am thinking i should make extra just incase someone checks in that we didn't expect to beforehand??

Re: OOT Bags... inspiration
I'm using plain black bags (having a black and white wedding) and tieing it with white ribbon.
Going to put a note in the bag with water bottles and little snacks.....going to Costco and see what they have in bulk.
