What to put in OOT bags?

ellenalabama

I can't decide what to put in the OOT bags. Our TA got us Vegas guide books, maps, list of show etc...  We are going to put in a few snacks, bottled water & mint tins with personalized wedding labels, Motrin, hand sanitizer...   I'm hoping the budget will allow for $5 casino chips but IDK what else.  I had a list at one point and lost it:(  What else do you think would be needed or cute?

We're you going to do reception gifts too or just the welcome bags?  We haven't decided which we're going to put it in but I found some welcome to vegas sign wine bottle stoppers for pretty cheap when bought in bulk that we were going to throw in.  Wedding theme deck of cards too probably.  I like your $5 chip idea, they could end up winning a bunch of money and it would be thanks to you, or worst case they lose the free $5. :-)

Are yall packing your oot bags in your luggage and flying them there or buying all the contents and making them once you get to Vegas?

I have a frined in Vegas I'm shipping the stuff to...
In addition to the above mentioned items, we're throwing in Vegas luggage tags, lint rollers, a sewing kit and asprin for the hangovers!

We are just doing OOT bags.  We are shipping everything ahead of time to the hotel to hold for us.  Wine stoppers are cool.  I really wanted to do beer koozies, but it ended up being too much with set up fees and all:(  I did find a website that you can buy travel size things on for pretty cheap though Minimus.biz.  Sorry IDK how to make it clicky. Lol  You can get little packets of No Doz and sunblock so I was thinking about adding those?

we are doing gum, a lucky penny, hand santizer (for people who play the slots its a must :0 ), some snacks and water, asprin and alka selzter...whatever else is cute and little over at Sams club. i think we are going to ship to Caesars in advance and then make them up quick on our room...for the reception we are giving each guest a lottery ticket to try their luck !

Instead of casino chips you could put in $1 or $2 scratch off lotto tickets. I think that would be a fun idea!

I love the $5 chip idea.  We're also including a list of contact numbers, a schedule of events, a map of the strip, tums, snacks, and water.

In Las Vegas there is a souvenir shop at the corner of Las Vegas Blvd and Sahara called Bonanza gifts.  We live in Las Vegas and bought "Vegas" poker chip keychains, "Vegas" shot glasses and decks of cards from all different casinos that have been used.  It was a few months ago that we bought them but if I remember correctly they were all $1 or less.  We had a fun time shopping in the store, too!  In the OOT bags we are adding bottles of water, and some sweet snacks (chocolate peppermints) and salty snacks (chips, cheese & crackers) to go in the bag (Sam's Club).  Also adding an itinerary and maps from each of the hotels where the guests will be coming from to the events they are invited to.  And a thank you note for coming!
