So, I was enlisted by my sister to make the out of town gift bags, since it is my "Matron of Honour Due Diligence." I work at a wine store and can get little bottles of wine for about $3 with my discount making the whole bag a total of $7. The people these bags are for would be coming from, Colorado, New York, I think Montana, well, All over. I agreed to pay a portion because it is just too expensive for all the bags needed, I offered to cover $5 a bag and asked my sister to pick up the extra $2.
My sister, however, does not want any wine in the bag whatsoever. She doesn't want to spend more than $4 a bag and says no one needs the wine anyway. I am insisting because they are coming this whole way to Florida that she really should have a small bottle of wine per room/bag. She is trying to always keep things on the cheap side and so she is refusing to add any sort of wine, champagne, mini's etc. I think this is tacky, having a small bottle is the right thing to do after they travel all that way. I have spoken to many people, married or getting married, and they are adding wine to their gift bags. Just wondering what you think.
