OOT Welcome Bags

Picture
I ordered these bags and LOVE them. I used to shop a lot at a local boutique that used them; it has since closed, but the owner told me just where to find them.    They will be stuffed with such items as the following.....This is a brainstorming list!
  • Bottled Water (Debating on the personalized labels)
  • Nana's Marble Squares (a bride's family recipe)
  • Nana's PIzzelles (a groom's family recipe)
  • Gum, mints
  • Maps & Itinerary
  • Wedding Shuttle Bus Ticket

Gifts and Favors for Guests

We are doing a few different favors/gifts in addition to the OOT Welcome Bags.
There will also be..
  • Friday party at my parents' house
  • Flip flop basket for all the ladies--SOOOOO BUMMED! FLIP FLOPS DO NOT FIT THE VENUE'S DRESS CODE SO IT'S A NO GO.  BUMMER!
  • Jordan Almonds--I'm marrying an Italian!  I love the tradition behind them.Five almonds signify five wishes for the bride and groom: health, wealth, happiness, fertility, and longevity. These almonds decorate each place setting as favors, tucked into pretty boxes or tulle bags called *bomboniere* that are often personalized with the couple's names and wedding date.
  • Take out containers for dessert table
  • Donation to Cancer research.  Still trying to figure out the details, but these are our thoughts.
