I went back and forth between making goody bags for our out of town guests. And, I finally decided to go for it when I had a grand idea. Instead of using gift bags from Target, why not put all of the goodies in reusable grocery bags so guests can take the bags home, rather than toss them. I bought 30 red reusable bags from One Bag One Earth and filled them with an array of goodies.
Momma Argyle was nice enough to pay for all of the stuff in the bags, and she surely didn’t want me to skimp. So, we ended up with:
And, a little info packet for our guests featuring details on what’s going on during the wedding weekend, and where to grab a bite to eat.
Did you make out of town bags for your hotel guests? (And, yes I know the above photo is upside down…)

Wwo your guests won’t go hungry, thats an aweosme mix of snacks!
Very cute! I really like that idea of reusable bags and am kinda sad that I already purchased gable boxes for ours.
Suuuuuuuper cute packaging and you packed a bonanza for your guests inside!
I love those bags. I’m leaning toward using reusable ones as well…
Those are great OOT bags! I love the idea of just using re-usable bags - and they’re very cute too!
Yeah, rock on for moms, cuz my mom’s paying for most of the stuff in ours too! We’re putting packets of Swiss Miss (tee hee) mints and key chains from where I grew up/where my folks live now, Mr. Swiss and I’s fave Halloween candies, water, slippers, soaps, advil..etc, etc! And we’re also doing the reusable shopping bags, yay Earth! 
@Miss Elephant: Gable boxes are cute, though!
@Mrs. Trail Mix: I know - so much food and snacks!
@Swiss Miss to Bee: Yay Earth!
Sounds like perfect OOT bags! Now I really want candy bars 
Mmm . . . good choices. Food is always the best option for gifts, in my opinion! And you picked delicious snacks. (And they bags are cute, to boot!)
We made them for our daughter’s wedding in Chicago. Added some fun things to do there and added in a wedding day itinerary too.. cheap and easy to do - here is how they turned out:http://www.celebrationideasonline.com/wedding-gift-bags-for-out-of-town-guests.html
These are awesome. I love all the stuff you’re putting in them.
I’ll take some fruit snacks please! The bags look great!
[...] a copy of the book to keep as a memento from our wedding day. The reusable grocery bags you have seen before. They were a huge hit! So many of our out of town guests loved the gesture, but also loved that [...]

I love to dance regardless of who is watching, and enjoy a good laugh with my girls. I have a soft spot in my heart for planet Earth, my two dogs and my fiance. Fall is my favorite season (which is why we are marrying in September), but I love a warm summer day and the Colorado mountains in the winter. We are planning a modern soiree downtown, with lots of bold colors, and fun, eco-friendly elements.
