    Does anyone have any suggestions on where to buy nice welcome bags for about a dollar each?  I need about 60 so want to keep prices low. I've looked at papermart, and there some reusable ones that might work, not sure how nice they are though.  Thanks!

    Is there a particular size, style or material you're looking for?

    You might want to check a local organization  like a library or scout group. they often sell reusable bags as fundraisers. you can be green and support you community! also orential trading sells bags that can be personalized.

    I used these ones from Papermart: http://www.papermart.com/Product%20Pages/Product.aspx?GroupID=21520&SearchItemNumber=73101320#73101320

    I lined them with organza and tied with a satin ribbon, both also from Papermart.  They looked great and I loved that the bags were reusable.  They are a good size to bring lunch to work for instance.

    uggh..i can't find pictures of mine but i got the reusable bags from the christmas tree shop for $1 each.  They came in a few different styles that went great for my beach theme. I shoved a whole lot in there...a full size beach towel, 3 bottles of water, a bunch of muncies, tissues, bandaides, travel lotion, travel santizer, lint brush etc.

    Not sure where you are located so i put a link to their stores.

    @reebee:  Thanks so much for posting that picture, those were the bags I was thinking of on papermart, so its nice to see what they really look like!

    Thanks everyone, I'm just looking for a bag (paper or reusable) with a nice design, I don't want to have to do a lot to dress it up, cause I have to make so many.

    @rainrain41:  

    they are that thin material that some reusable grocery bags are made of. They are plain, but the organza, ribbon, and a tag made from left over invitation materials dressed them up really nicely and didn't take long to put together :)

    I was able to catch these on sale at hobby lobby (I think I ended up paying $4-5 for a 4 pack): http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/4-pack-tote-bags-141382/

    They are not the largest of bags, but they will fit a couple bottles of water, some snacks, and welcome letter/tourist info.  The material is canvas, so they are a little sturdier than the reusable grocery bag material.  We're in Virginia, so I was planning on purchasing 3oz bags of Virginia Peanuts and baking some sort of southern dessert to include in the bags.

    You can get canvas bags for .99 cents at cheaptotes.com.  They do screenprinting for pretty cheap, too.

    I'm using Vistaprint for 70 screenprinted totes.  Their prices are a bit more than cheaptotes, but I have a Groupon for Vistaprint, so its actually cheaper.
