Idea's Needed

[Laurafoster]

For my rehearsal dinner at Ohana's i would like to have a small gift for my guests but i dont know what? I want something small that i can put in a cello bag, and tie with some raffia and add a tag too.

For the kids in the party i am doing a bag of tropical sweets (sherberts, jelly beans etc)

Does anyone have any idea's what i can do for the adults?

Check Oriental trading under "luau" lots of great inexpensive things there!

You could also buy fresh leis or even plastic ones.

You could do a magnet? Printed with something festive.

Im having my RD at Ohanas too! What I did was, I went to Walmart and got some canvas bags. Then I made a logo and printed it out on iron-on transfer paper and then to the bags.

Inside the bags I put a first aid kit, bottle of water, hand sanitizer, q-tips, disposable razor, travel sized tooth paste, small stick of sunscreen, an umbrella, and shout out wipes- anything they may have forgotten.

Then I put in a package of cookies, those small bags of chips, candy, and breakfast bars, just incase they get hungry in thier rooms.

Then I put in a candle- that smells like cake, a mini chinese take out box full of m&m's with our names and wedding date on them, disney themed ink pens, maps to disney world, our itenerary for the wedding day, tips to getting around the parks, disney post card and stamp, and a disposable camera. I also put one personalized gift in the bag for each person.

We are having a small intimate but all my guests are traveling from so far I wanted to do something for them to make thier week as magical as mine!

HTH!

If you just want something small, you could do personalized chocolates. Either hershey bars or lollipop style. Or if your doing gift bags you could give them out at the dinner.

I bought some scented soaps on ebay. They were a mixture of cinderellas castle and cinderellas shoe. They were in cello bags with ribbon to match the colours I had, and a little swing tag with a pumpkin coach picture on and our names and date.
I will post a picture of one later. They cost me about £25 for 50.
Oh and if you look in Asda in the sweet section they sell Mickey Mouse icon marshmallows, have you seen them? They would also look nice in Cello bags.
Remember though that Disney floral also do some really nice favours too.

Im doing a welcome bag but i will have these sent to the guests hotels. For the Ohanas i just want a small gift.

Janine - i love the idea of the mickey mouse marshmallows. I havent seen them but i'll go and have a look. I love the idea of a scented soap too, something fruity would be good.

 

[janine]

Yes the marshmallows are lovely. You get a huge bag for about 99p.
They are yellows & pinks I think with the mickey head on. I was going to do them and forgot all about them when I was ready to go.
I bought my soaps from this seller: rest4thebride on ebay. She mixed mine so I had 25 of castles & 25 of shoes. You can choose the scent. I had rose, and it smells lovely.
She gave me a choice of picture for the tags. I sent her a pumpkin motif, and she copied it onto the tags for me. I will do a picture of them later.

They sound good, ill have a look on ebay.

Does anyone know where you can buy personalized love hearts or M&M's?

If I remember correctly, someone did coconut soaps or something like that at O'Hana's and I thought that was a really cute idea as well!

 

[Laurafoster]

Yeah i remember some tropical type soaps and i have been looking everywhere in the UK for a pineapple one. Id really love a fruit shaped one, so a pineapple shape? cant find one though.

I did a quick search on goole & came up with these:

You could buy the molds & make either soap or chocolates:

Hi Laura - I found some personalised love hearts here https://www.lovehearts.com/searchresults.asp?search_type=prod_cat&prod_cat_id=10

You can get them with your names on, or with just married.

 

[Laurafoster]

Thanks guys! Everyone has been soooo helpful!

Now i have to choose between the soaps and the sweets? Have to find a way to use both.

 

[heathrow42]

hmm.. not to make your choice harder.. but Hawaii is known for their kona coffee. How about little samplers of kona coffee? or maybe pineapple preserves? or macaroons? (coconut sweets, kind of like a cookie.. but yummier!)

I have seen beach wedding themes use miniature silver pails like sand buckets with shell soaps. It was cute, I thought!
