kobezwife Posted July 8, 2013 #29 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Your bags look AWWWWWWWESOME! Great job! I would love to see a review of your wedding, too, by the way! Can you give us a little advice on how you got so much stuff for free at Vistaprint? I have seen free giveaways for ONE of each type of item but never for 40 of them! I am having about the same amount of people at my wedding and, from what I've seen I can get each item "free" for each person, but I'd have to pay about $15-$20 in shipping each time (so I can order them free over and over again and keep paying shipping)- which would be about $600-$800!!!! (yikes) Just wondering if that is what you meant when you said you ordered them free LOL :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kobezwife Posted July 8, 2013 #30 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I also ordered lanyards online from Walmart. They have regular black clip ones (similar to the above link)-- a box of 24 for $10. Hope that helps- happy gift bag building! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I think we have the same wedding colors! I get exhausted just thinking about doing all of that. I did special bags for the bridal party and I'm pooped! LOL Does Vistaprint sell oval stickers that I can use to cover up a logo on a bag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AprilBride2016 Posted February 29, 2016 #38 Share Posted February 29, 2016 Thank you so much for posting! We had not even thought of gifts for our sailing guests until I started reading threads on here. Came across yours and LOVED it! Thanks for the link to the cups... we ordered ours yesterday. I ordered all of the goodies for the "Kit" off of Amazon as well as the lanyards, drawstring backpacks and silk rose petals to put in the bottom. The ID holders I found on eBay and I got an awesome fleece (lap size) from Northeast Fleece. All color coordinated of course! I will post pics as the items come in and then a final of the finished product. So excited! Again... THANK YOU so much for sharing your ideas and links. It saved me SO MUCH time and effort! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrown13 Posted March 2, 2016 #39 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I love your bags! I have most of the items for mine, but now I feel like I need more! I can't believe the work you have put into your bags. I thought mine were a lot of work just coming up with what to put in them, but these are amazing!

mlbarnhill Posted March 6, 2016 #40 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Thank you so much for your post. This is very helpful. I'm exciting to start collecting things for my "welcome aboard" bags. I like the idea of handing them out the night before the cruise. I already know I will have some much to carry on the ship. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
