    Hello Ladies!

    Just wanted to get some ideas on whether what I have is enough for myDestination Wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. I scrolled through some of the other brides' post so I was getting ideas from there. Below is a picture of the items I'm including and how much each cost. BTW, my colors are fuschia, purple, and red.

    Let me know what you think!

    -reusable purple tote--in background ($1.50 ea) -got them in purple/pink/blue

    -Chapstick ($0.57)

    -flip flops ($1.80 each) using 2 different coupons codes & a sale day

    -travel candle--the last picture w/yellow lid ($1 ea)

    -face/body wipes (1.00)

    -tissues ($0.25 ea) came 4/pack

    -banana boat spf 30 mini ($1.00 ea)

    -Gold bond lotion ($1.00)

    -shout stain remover wipes ($1.00)

    -antibacterial cleaner ($0.50)

    -tylenol ($0.33 ea) --package came 3/100

    -spanish for dummies ($1.00) --only bought 4 of these for guests that need

    -love birds container carton to stick small items in ($1.00 ea)

    I spent about $225 for 30 guests. Does that seem withing a normal budget?

    I thought so...I just really wanted to thank everyone for coming all the way to Mexico (and using up $$ for flight/hotel and vacation days) just to be part of our special day...

    I was wondering where you got the antibacterial cleaner for .50?  We want to add some in ours too and that is a great price!

    I love it!  Very cute.  Am working on ideas for my oot bags and am doing a child oot "bucket" which will be a sand bucket w/scoop and candies and some fun kid things (I heart the bendaroos!).

    Have been eyeing some bags from Oriental trading for the tote bag, where did you get yours?

    I am still trying to work out exactly what I will have in mine! I love yours and think that your pictures look great :) 

    Would you mind telling us where you got each thing?! 

    Also, I feel like a slacker...you are so far ahead! I am getting married in June...well..I'll get on that soon :)

    these look great! i am planning a destination wedding and I was wondering how you are going to travel with all of that stuff? Are you going to send it ahead of time or give them to guests ahead of time?

    Hi Ladies,

    I've been a total slacker on checking this post! Thanks for replies and comments!

    I got the majority of things from Target: chapstick/lovebird containers/tissues/sunblock/shout/Spanish book, etc.

    I got the travel candles for $1 at Michael's.

    And I got the totes (blue/purple/pink) at Jiffy's shirt, link below for $1.20 I believe

    http://www.jiffyshirts.com/bags/all/?idcust=382345554 

    @La chapstick fanatique --I wanted to mail them, but all the posts I've read said not to since mailing boxes to Mexico was iffy and not likely to show up. So, I'm splitting things between my bags, FI's, and my brothers and Dad's! Gotta love the family.
