OOT guest bags must or not?

Hi girls,
I have about 35 OOT guests (70 inc guest) staying at the hotel...are OOT guest bags a 'must do' or not? What's your take?
Thanks for your help...so not looking forward to doing them!

i think you should do what you Want to do, but i DO think its a nice gesture.

i think some people get carried away with them.... and That's fine- whatever makes each bride happy is what really matters, but theyre really not that big of a headache to do.

We had plain Blue gift bags, and we went to BJs the other night and got the following and put one of each in the bag:

Poland Spring bottles
Sierra mist cans
combo's
rice krispie treats
Nutra grain bars
tic tacs
Pringles
cheese crackers w/ peanut butter
bite size snickers and Hershey kisses
alka seltzer packets (2 pcks each)

and it was around $80 for 18 bags!!! (we already had the bags, but those are so cheap to buy a package of)


we basically put in food that you would want after a night of drinking. I didnt see the need to go crazy with it... just stuff that would fulfill the needs of the guests that night

oh yeah,,, and it only took us like 20 mins Max to do the whole thing (set up/ fill the bags).... aside from the shopping, that is

That's not a bad idea...i was getting carried away with personalized labels and stuff like that...maybe i'll just go to the dollar store to buy the bags? Thanks for the advice!

Yeah.... i was starting to get carried away with the idea too,,, and then i was like 'why the hel! am i going to give them a picture frame, etc...' it has absolutely Nothing to do with staying in a hotel.... i think its nice though to give them some treats for those late night cravings

Thanks neenie. I was just looking for what should go into the bags. Good luck to you 5 more days. YEAH!!!!

Thanks!

I also wanted to do the individual packs of Advil, but i ccouldnt find a big package of them at BJs, so i gave up easily on that one... i dont have time for the wild goose chase right now

Wow, i didn't see your date...good luck! getting down to the wire.....i wish you great weather and smooth sailing!

I don't think its a must do, just a nice sentiment. Its completely up to you!

I didn't think that we were going to do it at all, the money issues, but neenie your idea is a great one. very simple but a nice gesture. I will keep that in mind. thanks
