   We got the small bags of popcorn from Grand Rapids Popcorn Co. I tied a ribbon around 2 bags with a thank you tag on them and it was a huge hit! What's better than carmel popcorn after a night of dancing? Their prices were really reasonable too!!

   What are you putting in your out-of-town bags? I really want to showcase great products from Michigan. What other things (maps, etc) are you putting in your bags?

   We didn't go overly "Michigan" on our OOT bags so I can't give you a ton of ideas, but did include a few things... we made a brochure (very cheap - we used VistaPrint) listing all the top attractions in the city - the ones we recommended, as well as restaurants near the hotel that we liked.

   Ooooohhhh....I forgot - Mackinac Island Fudge! There are a few places online that offer very small servings of it, which would be perfect for your bags. We also made personalized bags at http://myweddingreceptionideas.com/. HTH!

   Shrades, I love the lint remover idea! I think we're going to go with fudge, cherry salsa from Cherry Republic, Faygo, soap from Bars by Bellini (she even makes one that smells like Victoria's Secret Love Spell!), and playing cards from Firekeeper's Casino, along with things like aspirin, maps, info about the Grand Rapids…

   I really wanted to do this, then realized that everyone from OOT used to live in Michigan so... lol Anyway, I'd say it depends on the time of year. You could put cherries or apples in there, or some of the local wines (Red Arrow Red is a favorite, as well as the Ice wine from that same winery)-- maybe do a "little known…
