    I wanted something fun for everyone...

    a few friends of mine, I threw in their favorite candy bar...

    I also have a ton of left over absolut vodka airplane bottles from my shower, so I might throw those in too...in my friends bags. 

    I'm having an OOT hotel gift bag assembly party on Sunday, October 3...invited a few of my girls...martinis and assembling!  hehe.

    Have to bring the bags to the hotel...2 days before the first guest arrives, so with the first guest arriving Wednesday...Monday is the delivery date!

    I'm planning on personalized water bottles, snacks, a small jar of instant Cafe Bustelo (to add some South Florida flair), key lime cookies, sunblock, etc.

    Thanks!

    I also forgot to mention I'm also planning on grabbing brochures for various sites and attractions around here (you can find them at malls, hotels, etc.)

    My wedding isn't until May but I've already started picking up things for the out of town bags! I think we're just going to fill them with typical South Florida stuff. We have a lot of out of town guests and everyone is staying in downtown Delray so I'm hoping they have a little time to enjoy the beach.

    Definitely going to hit up Costco to get snacks, but we're also making some homemade goodies to put in there. Water, sunblock, tylenol, etc. I'm putting together a folder with maps of Delray which are everywhere in Delray- and free- so that's awesome. I'm hoping to find some coupons and brochures for local places. Maybe pick up some Florida postcards to put in there.

    For some reason this is one of the things I'm most excited about!

    I think everybody else has already got it covered, just want to add cooling aloe gel with lidocaine, because out of towners may get a little beach happy with the South Florida weather and overexpose themselves to the sun. (Jeez I hope my guests don't do this).
