Wedding Quickie! - Creating Personalized Guest Bags and Wedding Party Gifts

In this Wedding Quickie! I will give you some tips and ideas on how to put together personalized guest bags for traveling guests to your destination wedding, or meaningful wedding party tote bags to say thank you for being a support throughout your journey. First you will get some tips on how to keep the cost down but wow factor high, then as you scroll down you will get some ideas on how to put it all together :)

Tips!

1. Buy in bulk: Try to find a place to purchase you tote bags and items that go inside at an online shop or store that offers bulk pricing
2. Get it personalized: Many shops geared towards wedding offer unique personalization to make it your own such as monograms or your wedding location
3. Coordinate your colours: Try to coordinate the tote bags and some of the contents with your wedding theme and colours
4. Shop around: Before you buy, shop around online to make sure you are getting the best price... don't be afraid to ask for a better deal when ordering bulk items if there isn't already a bulk price set
5. Make it useful: Try to include a variety of items that will actually be useful... otherwise some things might end up in a garage sale or even worse... the trash
6. Think about your guests: It's very easy to be drawn to things we love but try to think about what your guests would love or need
7. Create a focus: Choose a few focal items and build around them with snacks and goodies
8. Set a budget: Trust me... you can easily get carried away filling a tote bag with all kinds of fun items, set a max budget and stick to it so you will use a little more discretion with what you buy
9. Have fun: This shouldn't stress you out, it should be one of the enjoyable parts of planning your wedding; if you find yourself getting stressed out, take a break from it and come back later
10. Add a Note: Include a little card or note to express your gratitude and explain the thought that went into the gift

Ideas!

Bri's Beloved - All Style Weddings

Today is the start of a new series called Bri's Beloved... this is where you will find my absolute favourite finds for engagements and weddings! There are so many websites, online shops, blogs, and articles about weddings; a Google.ca search of "wedding" produces 358,000,000 results enough to make your head hurt. I have been searching, viewing, buying, and blogging about weddings for years both prior to and after my own wedding that I can't even list all the ideas, websites, shops, and services that I have come across; however, what I can do is share with you Bri's Beloved to help you sort through the wedding search result madness you will find on the internet.

http://www.allstyleweddings.com/

To kick off my first Bri's Beloved blog I would like to share with you an online, mid to high end boutique where you could literally purchase all your wedding essentials in one place!! I love websites and shops that simplify the wedding planning process and All Style Weddings is a must for any style of wedding!

http://allstyleweddings.com/Shop-By-Style/Outdoor-Stylehttp://allstyleweddings.com/Shop-By-Style/Country-Style



http://allstyleweddings.com/Shop-By-Style/Fairytale-Stylehttp://allstyleweddings.com/Shop-By-Style/Classic-Style













You can find your wedding essentials By Style (Classic, Modern, Rustic, Country, Outdoor, Vineyard, Vintage, Beach, Fairytale, Spring, Summer, Winter, and Fall) or by collection (Bride Essentials, Wedding Favors, Invitations & Stationary, Wedding Accessories, Wedding Decor, and Gifts). You can further refine your searches in some of the categories by colour, theme, season, and other categories specific to the collection :)

Christina Avoletta is the owner of All Style Weddings and has 15 years of experience with weddings so she can assist anyone that needs some direction; you can contact Christina HERE :) The concept behind All Style Wedding was to be able to provide all essentials and decor for all types of wedding, including destination weddings. For Christina glamorous, chic, elegant, and vintage are all words that come to my mind when she put her boutique together. Once you check out All Style Weddings you will be hooked with the selection of wedding essentials. They have great wedding party gifts and awesome jewelry and they also have hard to find things such as chandeliers, candelabras, cake stands and bride essentials.
