welcome bags vs. wedding favors or both

[Lisatiggg]

I Love your stickers!! did you have them made at office depot? or can you tell me where i an get something like that done?

We tried to do multipurpose in everything we did, including our favors. We did the chocolate mickey ears place cards (about $5) for everyone to eat and bring home, etc. We also did welcome bags and I spent several months gathering up materials for that.

I don't remember doing a complete price breakdown for it but it was something like this.

We ordered about 70-100 red nylon drawstring backs (can't remember the price but it was less than $2 each)

-a disney washcloth that we got at disney outlets for about 50 cents each

- purell hand sanitizer that I got at staples for a penny each (great sale)

- disney beach towel (off Disney.com during a clearance sale with a coupon so they came out to about $3 each)

- bottled water (purchased down there at costco)

- a bag of either famous amos chocolate chip cookies or oreos (costco)

- attached to the bags were I'm celebrating pins, along with whatever else pins were appropriate to each guest (birthday, 1st visit, etc.) (free)

I don't think I am doing welcome bags (still a bit on the fence). I want to send everone a Disney/Florida travel guide prior to the wedding if I can find a good deal. I tried to do personalized m & m's for our save the date but they wouldn't let me use a picture of us in front of the castle.

For favors we are having a caricature artist and I will purchase tubes for everone to take their print home. Depending on my budget I will also buy Mickey Ears but I can't afford to personalize them. I love seeing the group shots of everyone with their ears on

I haven't made them yet, but I found these wooden castles (painted blue) at Michael's (craft store)...prob about 4". I was thinking of tying a string on them and painting the date, and a quote on it....sort of a homemade touch that is easy to travel with....and cheap.

If I get around to finishing one, I'll post a pic. The castles were $.50 each.
