Hello ladies!
My FI and I are opting for Welcome Bags instead of favors, and I am trying to think of fun stuff we will want to put in there, aside from some of the easy things like water, advil, tissue and the like.
I have been trying to figure out if there is an easy way to buy certain things in bulk like - mini liquor bottles, or some fun foodie like stuff, but haven't been able to find much. Did any of you do this, and do you have any suggestions on where I could look to find some fun stuff?
Happy Planning all!
Re: Bulk Items for Welcome Bags
We didn't have liquor though. I would contact your local liquor store to see if you can get a discount for buying in balk.
They did consider liquor, but it started to become cost prohibitive.
Skip the alcohol in the bags - liability risk!
Remember - nothing succeeds like the simple done well. Think "if I needed a light snack what would I want" - a Hershey Bar, gum, tic tacs, would be more than enough...

As far as the bags we plan to include the following: Oops kits-Shout wipes, Tylenol, bandaids, wet wipes, bobby pins, safety pins, and hair ties. In the boxes we are putting water, a welcome letter, something crunchy/salty (local snack), candy and peanut butter Buckeyes.
We also found that Sams Club had Tylenol in bulk:
