OOT Bags, Nautical & Knot things

Daughter & I are working on the OOT bags. She designed this monogram that can be used for so many things such as the welcome/thank you for coming letter, a tag to hang on the bag, or a sticker monogram.

There may be 25-30 rooms with OOT guests. There are so many great things out there. Difficult to choose and of course, depends on how much one wants to spend. I love the Palm Leaf shoulder bag below....on sale right now for $7.49 each... Palm Leaf handle bag: $19.99...

Canvas tote bag: $5.49 ...

And of course, the paper bag: less than $1.00 ...

Then we need to fill them. Standard item: bottled water, from Sam's...

Muffins, individually wrapped in cellophane. I found an online source for cellophane bags, very cheap. We're getting the flats of muffins from Sam's....

Here is where it gets fun & expensive. I want to include a Mississippi item and a Louisiana item. The Mississippi Trailer Trash would be nice ...

or the Mississippi Mud Puppies...

Still looking for a Louisiana item.





Fruit would be nice...

Definitely need this, expect there will be a lot of partying ...

Below is daughter's guest book for the reception. This was daughter's idea and so practical since her apartment has so many nautical touches. These can be used in her guest room after the wedding. Our wedding planner, Bobbi Rice, found an old pair and had them stripped and painted with a white paint that will take a Sharpie. Very fun!

Bobbi found an anchor cookie cutter and we'll have these at the reception with daughter's Koozies. Forgot to get a picture of them...they are on her blog. Navy blue of course. Cookie below is NOT the color our cookies will be. I don't think we have decided on the color yet.

So here is my rope, 20 feet from Lowes that I'm taking with me next week to Shreveport. We'll be meeting with Bobbi at the church. Need to determine how many feet of rope for each pew and how many pews we'll be putting these on. Bobbi is doing all the flowers. They are all in white and green.

My husband got home from West Palm Beach and saw this rope sitting on the kitchen table. He was either nervous or excited. When I explained what it was for, I think he was disappointed!!!

Sorry, hubby, the rope is for below...
