We had family travel from NJ, NY, VA, GA, SC, and even PI (Philippines)! The event wouldn't be the same without all of them there so to thank them all for coming and welcoming them to the island of Aruba, my Mother-in-law and I put these bags together with the help of others.
The canvas bags were printed in the Philippines, thanks to our Uncle & Auntie, who brought them to the states upon their arrival. They also printed swim suit bags (his & hers) and bought fans to add to the bags.
I also added Tylenol, First Aid kits (which we're actually used by a lot of our guests), gum, granola bars, personalized water bottles, postcards (in lieu of a guestbook), a welcome book I DIY'ed, an Aruba booklet, & a Westin itinerary. Antibacterial & luggage tags hung from the bag handles as well!
Here's the bag and all its contents! Jeff & I personally handed each one during our welcome/rehearsal dinner and it was a huge hit, everyone loved it!
What did you give your guests as a thank you for coming to your event? If you had OOT bags, what did you include in them?
