    You are not a bad person.  My good friend got married 3 years ago... many OOT guests. She didn't do a bag.Most of my family friends do this.  So I'll be doing it... hopefully inexpensively.  There is a good place to buy bags if you are interested. http://www.bagsandbowsonline.com Thanks for this reminder.  I should order the bags this weekend. I printed out labels and will just place them on the bag.  I will fill the bag with 2 waters and some goodies from Sam's Club - granola bars, pretzels, etc.

    I have the exact same situation, 99% of our guests are from Pennsylvania and I have decided not to do OOT bags. The cost to cover bags for everyone was going to be astronomical.

    We are doing bags...I was going to do waters, oranges, sunscreen (you can get travel sizes online for $1-3), and some maps and travel brochures of the area, hoping to also get coupons for local stores or restaurants as well from local businesses from the Chamber of Commerce.

    i'm just going to do brochures, maps, coupons from the chamber of commerce, maybe a couple oranges and bottled waters, and snacks from sam's club like bags of chips and cookies. i don't think it will be that expensive if you buy in bulk.

    I did 2 Bottles of water, sunscreen & aloe (from the Dollar Tree, full size), FL postcard, tissues, gum, Advil, candy, snacks, antibacterial stuff, etc. And jen - you are NOT a bad person if you dont do them..... and I didnt forget about you. My computer crashed and I had to get a new hard drive, so I am in the process of resetting everything up!

    All of our guests except for three people will be from out of town, including me! We aren't doing OOT bags, just too costly.
