    we plan on putting 2 bottles of water, some small snack, maybe small pack of tissue, directions to the reception/ceremony.

  • This is what I plan to put in mine:

    2 Bottles of Water
    2 Bags of Chips (assorted)
    Gum
    Map of the area
    Menus to a few local restaurants
    Schedule for the shuttle
    Packet of Advil

    I thought about putting more into them... local BBQ sauce (NC wedding), tide pen, 2 cans of soda, etc etc... but it all depends on how many guest book rooms... we have 40 rooms blocked off, and I'm hoping to fill most of them, but with 40 room's adding all of that would be a much bigger expense than I can handle... I think as long as the guests get some kind of OOT bag they are happy... I even considered not doing them, but then went to a friends wedding in NY where she didn't and heard guests complain about not getting one.. so I decided I didn't want to give the wrong first impression of our wedding weekend...

  • I had a bit of fun with our OOT bags since we're having a destination wedding and I wanted to put some extra thought into them. So we're putting in...

    bag of lavendar bath salts
    artisan soaps
    hersey kisses
    bottle water
    little packs of sunscreen, insect repellant, and hand sanitizer
    probably will add some type of snack- trail mix or chips or something closer to the date- whatever costco has for a good deal
    an informational packet with maps, directions, info, etc

    Both our mothers like to sew, so we bought fun canvas material and they made up little tote bags on the cheap.
