XP Ideas Needed - Totes for Bridesmaids

BMcLeodTeam

Ok, so I got each member of my bridal party their own tote -  I know what you're thinking, no one wants that monogrammed wedding cr@p that says Bridesmaid on it... this is not... I did up personalized totes with their names/fav colours on them so they can have something to use again  

What I want to fill it with is stuff they will need while up there, but not just the traditional boring stuff... so far I have: 

A mug (we're doing breakfast so depending what each person likes I'll put a small packet of tea/coffee/hot chocolate in it)

A notebook and pen, also in their fav colours

A mens shirt (we all jokingly talked while drinking one night about what everyone would want to get ready in, rather than robes they prefer the idea of comfy pants/shorts and a men's shirt so I got a bunch cheap on sale, white, and I'll put something on them) 

Some of their fav snacks

Keep in mind I am having a destination wedding, so its not like we'll be getting ready at my house where they can help themselves to my kitchen for dishes/snacks/etc so trying to think of all that at the same time... 

Ideas?  TIA!

Here is an example of one of the designs on the totes, this is for my FSIL, her favourite colour is Navy, and dark blues... I also have navy ribbon to tie around the handles when its done. This design is also on her pen, notepad and mug all thanks to VistaPrint.


I have done somethign similar for each of them, different designs and colours to reflect each of their individual personalities

I like the ideas.  Are these just "day of" totes or are these also gifts?  If just day of totes I think it's an awesome idea and they will definitely appreciate it.  If it is included in the gifts I would include something else that is nice/non-wedding related.

I love your design, it's so pretty!

perhaps if you want to add something that might be more of a gift and less just a day of thing (besides the tote itself and the mug), you could pick out some jewelry or a headband or something that each girl would like.

i'm still clueless about what i plan on getting my girls but i definitely like the tote idea.

They are getting a seperate gift at the Rehearsal dinner, the one I put the example of above for example is getting a really pretty navy blue necklace/earrings set This I am going to give to them the morning of the Friday, as we're spending that day at the spa, and they will have it for the spa day and the day of

What about flip-flops or sunglasses for the bag?
