Welcome! And Here's Your Welcome Bag! :D

Didn't have Internet all weekend because I was helping the bf move into his new house! :D Very exciting! And the past couple days I have been helping him clean the place...not as exciting :P

So I will do my best to go from house mode to wedding mode again! :D

I want to use my creative energy :D and really want to try to figure out what to do for welcome bags, aka out-of-town bags or OOT bags for short.

Since I plan on having a destination wedding, and having a smaller budget, I would rather put more money and effort into the welcome bags instead of the favors. I mean it's the first thing they'll see when they arrive, I want them to impress!

The container you put the stuff in is almost as important as what's in it! They really set the theme or mood!

Here are some affordable containers that caught my eye:
46 cents each, OMG WANT!!! :D

58 cents each, ALSO WANT!!! :D

96 cents each, also pretty but may not be worth it...

A WeddingBee post led me to tote bags for only 59 cents each! :D

After you DIY some custom label or picture on the bag, they will look like you spent a fortune! (I have always liked tote bags)

Even though I love the purple bags, (and the tote bags,) I want to think more out of the box, I want something different...

Eh, I guess I get more creative juices flowing once I have a general theme for the wedding, lol.
