I'm posting two photos from when I tested my boxes out to see how much I could get in them. (I'm getting a lot of FM's for details about these, so I thought I'd just put this up)
The boxes are misleading when you get them. I thought I wasn't going to be able to put a lot of stuff in them, but I was pleasantly surprised!
The first layer of stuffers:
The second (top) layer:
And the finished product:
My boxes were bought off of ebay (good deal from a former bride). I've seen them for a reasonable amount at uline.com
I made my own tags/labels in photoshop (no template, sorry) but you can make your own in word (I've seen some other brides do that) or visit myweddinglabels.com for some good quality labels/tags.
My boxes contained:
2 bottles of water 2 cans of soda (one diet. one regular) 2 can of arizona ice-tea
(all beverages were 'small')
Then I added an assortment of:
chips chocolates cookies tea/coffees granola bars breakfast bars tic-tacs gum advil/tylenol packets wet wipes and our invite to the day-after breakfast and a day-of schedule.
(the items you see pictured in the test photos were just items I had lying around the house at that time and not what was actually in the boxes we gave)
NOTE: if you plan on packing these up real good with goodies, I recommend reinforcing the bottom interior of the boxes with tape. I had FH handle this portion. He grabbed the really fat clear shipping tape and got to work!

Re: OOT Gable Boxes - 9x6x6 (How much do they hold?)

Sorry for the stupid question but what do you do with these? I have some guests (FH parents, sister brother and grandparents coming from florida) do you arrange to have these put in the hotel room?
Yes. We had ours delivered to the hotel where all our rooms were booked. The front desk will take them and hand them out to your guests when they check-in.
When we dropped our boxes off, there were two other weddings going on at the same hotel that weekend, and they had piles of OOT boxes/bags behind the front desk.
