Our Welcome Bags For Our Marriage Ceremony Political Party

For those who missed the announcement: marriage ceremony content volition live moved to 2x a calendar week on Mon together with Midweek amongst regular weblog content happening on Tuesday, Th + Friday! I idea it was an slow agency to suspension everything upwards but proceed it fifty-fifty for those who create together with don't desire to come across wedding-related content. 

So this calendar week volition focus on gift bags! We did ii dissimilar sets of gift bags: ones for our household unit of measurement together with friends staying inwards the trouble solid together with ones for those who were invited to the weekend party. Our entire marriage ceremony grouping totaled fourteen people, including myself together with Andrew, addition ii kids. So at that spot were half-dozen couples: ii sets of parents, ii sisters, together with ii friends. 

And for those people, I wanted to give them a fiddling something particular for coming all this agency together with taking a week off to celebrate our wedding! Just similar amongst all my gift-giving (the best event beingness my bachelorette goodie bags), I wanted to give them things 1. that I beloved together with exercise daily, 2. that verbalize to us equally a duo together with 3. that they could exercise and/or vesture during the week.

I laid these upwards inwards everyone's room earlier they arrived at the house, therefore they were able to walk into this on their beds! It was a fun agency of showing everyone their room AND a perfect agency to welcome t them to the house! Here's a breakdown of everything below:

LL Bean Boat + Tote c/o: This was what I was MOST excited close for these gifts: my all-time favorite bag. I cannot nation plenty adept things close this purse together with how genuinely awesome it is to exercise together with have. We honestly exercise it every. single. day. from laundry to groceries to running on shoots or traveling! It holds so much, and I really wanted to larn these for our guests. 

Everyone got a monogrammed purse inwards their favorite color together with style. There are a lot of options to pick out from, therefore admittedly I did inquire the girls inwards each grouping to pick what they would prefer without really letting them know what it is! Everyone seemed to beloved them, together with the best purpose is they are allowed equally carry-ons! I ever exercise mine equally my "personal item" together with surprisingly accept never been stopped.

Details: We got the XL amongst regular handles together with the naught top!

this post in our larger customizing of items from Zazzle, nosotros ordered these golf game balls. The guys were going golfing on the rehearsal day, together with I wanted to furnish them amongst some balls for the trip. We added our monogram to it together with gave each guy a dozen balls to create amongst what he wished! 

Custom Golf Towel: In the same vein, I wanted to larn them golf game towels equally well. I constitute these on Etsy, together with they came out amend than I could accept imagined. I originally wanted to larn everyone beach towels but knowing they would accept packed therefore much, to laid out with, I idea this was the side past times side best option. Everyone got navy towels amongst the same color monogram!

seen these inwards our Zazzle post! We made custom socks amongst our marriage ceremony impress for the guys together with asked them to vesture them to the rehearsal dinner. Thought it was simply a cute fiddling memento. I'm ordinarily non i for getting super custom/personal things that relate to Andrew together with I, inwards fearfulness of people never using them again, but these I simply couldn't resist!

Nantucket Basket Bracelet: I really picked these upwards during a Nantucket trip. I think the starting fourth dimension time nosotros were dorsum on the isle later beingness engaged. It was a fiddling store on Main street called Vis-a-Vis that has cute together with affordable jewelry. They aren't the best bracelets ever made, but I accept i that I beloved to vesture together with idea it would live a cute matter to give to the girls. The moms got them inwards silver, together with the sisters together with friends got them inwards gold!

Nantucket Playing Cards: I was very close to creating a custom laid of playing cards amongst our monogram together with personalized watercolor cards, but I did limit myself for some things! The slap-up matter is Lou Lou Baker already had a Nantucket set, so I simply picked i upwards for everyone inwards the trouble solid to accept equally well. 

Andrew together with I got these cards I think similar a yr or ii agone together with exercise them all the time. They are slap-up cards, together with i matter close both of our families is that nosotros love playing cards! So this was a fiddling something that meant fifty-fifty to a greater extent than to us to give because it was really us!

A Goodie Box: Our actual welcome bags for the residue of our guests were initially meant to live the white fiddling gable boxes shown inwards this post service but the set out of items got to live also large therefore nosotros moved them to larger bags (which you'll come across on Wednesday) therefore since nosotros had 100 of these white boxes I idea why non construct a smaller box for our trouble solid guests amongst some of the same stuff! 

I couldn't allow these boxes larn to waste, therefore everyone got a mini box equally purpose of their gift. Hopefully, they were able to exercise some of these inwards their rooms during the week! And the best purpose of all is almost all of these were sourced on Amazon, therefore nosotros were able to larn them pretty much inwards mass without prices beingness crazy!

• White Gable Box -- We got these from ULINE equally they were the most affordable option. The annoying matter was they were a minimum of 100 which I didn't demand inwards whatever situation, therefore I accept ninety boxes if anyone is interested inwards buying them lol! We got the large size, together with they held a decent amount but were withal kinda small. 
• Navy Ribbon -- This was really leftover ribbon from our marriage ceremony invitations (coming soon), therefore I'm glad nosotros got to repurpose together with exercise the extra inwards dissimilar ways!
• Zazzle. We got a ton of pocket-size together with large stickers amongst our total crest together with some amongst simply the monogram. I straight off also accept 100 of these equally good leftover amongst an unclear conception of how best to exercise them. Maybe on our give cheers you lot notes??
• Custom Koozie c/o -- This was a last-minute add together (again from Zazzle) but i I'm happy nosotros went with. I accept a large dominion on non giving marriage ceremony branded items to our guests, therefore this was a subtle agency of doing so. One that volition assistance them recollect the marriage ceremony but non accept it live similar "KRISTA AND ANDREW ARE MARRIED" all over it, you lot know?
• Tide to Go Pen -- I exercise these all the time and idea it was adept to simply give them inwards the box. Especially amongst all the white during the calendar week -- it's a adept matter to accept on hand!
• Advil Packs / Liquid IVs -- these were at that spot to assistance amongst the hangovers and/or simply overall exhaustion that came from a calendar week of partying lol. My sis swears past times these IV packs that you lot simply add together into your H2O to assistance rehydrate you.
• Mints / Gum -- Seems similar a adept matter to ever accept amongst you.
• Cape Cod Chips / Candy (chocolate together with sweet) -- For some late-night snacks!
