Laurie88 has finished her guest survival kits!!




Hellooo, all my beautiful fellow brides!!!

So excited to tell you girls I finished the Guest Survival kits for the welcome bags =) I'm really thrilled about these!

Since nobody has really RSVP'd yet(duhh, I haven't even sent out invitations..waiting for the stamps to come!) I've only started out making 5 bags. I've confirmed at least 2 guests that are getting rooms.

I purchased all the stuff inside at Target.
Here's what I included-
Sunscreen
Excedrin
Shout wipes
Hand sanitizing wipes(from Old Navy actually!)
Mints
A toothbrush and toothpaste
Band-aid's
Deodorant

It's all I could stuff into the little bags I got at Old Navy as well. I wish they had more of the bags with orange polka dots but all they had were 3. =(

I made the tags with Microsoft word printed on white card stock and glued onto the green card stock and tied the orange ribbon around the bags.

These will go into the welcome bags which will also include other things (like the bottle of water you see in the picture as well!) Will post them as I work on them.

Happy planning everyone!!!!

They are just too cute and I'm sure your guests will really appreciate them!  I really like the bags you purchased!  I didn't know Old Navy sold bags like those.  I was debating whether or not I should do something like this for our guests.  I'm still in limbo though, just because we are on a pretty tight budget, but this post makes me want to go out and put some together:)

@Sug-This project cost me about $40. I wasn't expecting to find the bags at Old Navy either but was there shopping for my son and seen these in the check out aisle! They were perfect.

@4evernlove-Thank you!

Great idea!! I'll be doing the same the closer I get.  I know it's a lot of hard work focusing on the little things but you are doing amazing!!!  Keep up the good work!

OH.MY.GOSH. Is it ever! I feel so stressed and I still have 2 in a half months! There is SO MUCH to do and my mom had a stroke over the weekend and don't want her to stress out even more with the wedding stuff so I will be doing most of the planning for the bridal shower as well. She feels horrible but I told her not to worry about a thing.. more stress for me but I know it will be worth it =)

These look awesome! I'm sure they will be very much appreciated from your guests. I thought about doing welcome bags for our guests who are staying in the hotel but we don't really have a budget for it. These are so cute though.
And can I just say that you are doing amazing. You are posting like crazy and it seems like you are getting tons of stuff done!!

@loveatthebeach-aw, girl thank you! I'm trying my best. I have a  4 page to do list and not even making a dent in it though. I was really slacking for the past few months and the 3 month mark just hit and I'm getting nervous..P.S I'm spending about $20 per welcome bag but only making 5, at the most, 10. You can def. do this on a budget though by making homemade salt water taffy, bottles of water, a quick wedding timeline & maybe a bottle of sunscreen(since you are a fellow beach bride =) ) Anything can be done!

Your day is soo soon! happy planning to you and I'm excited for you and your beautiful day =)
