Where to buy Welcome Bags??

Tori, on May 5, 2015 at 9:45 AM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 22

Anyone know where I can find cute reasonably priced welcome bags? I looked at Etsy but everything is more expensive then I wanted to pay. We bought a couple from the Dollar store to dress up. We have a cricut but I just don't like the glossy look of them. (if they carry non-glossy ours didnt have them)

People have started to reserve rooms at our hotel (15 of our 30 rooms have been picked up!!) so i really wanted to get the bags ordered or designed this week. Any suggestions? What do your bags look like?

    Try Uline.com I've purchased all kinds of bags in bulk from there before for work.

    Oriental Trading worked like a charm for me. Reasonable on water bottle labels too, if you like those.

    I'm not doing them. I appreciate that they will have come a long way to share in my happiness, but weddings are expensive enough to feed and entertain guests well. I would completely understand if they couldn't come. I don't expect a gift.

    Are yall using paper gift bags or canvas tote bags? The best price I found on totes was at party city for bulk black canvas totes.

    Check with the tourism bureau in the city where you're getting married. They sometimes supply bags filled with goodies (maps, coupons for local restaurants, etc.).

    We're planning to use light blue kraft paper bags, most likely from oriental trading or dollar store.

    I picked up white Kraft bags from Hobby Lobby. They come 12 in a pack for $5.99. I plan to either put custom labels on them or custom bag tags.

    I went MIA sorry. But yea I have checked Oriental Trading and I am leaning towards getting them from there since the price doesn't make me cringe. Since I am I tried to play around with designs yesterday on the ugly glossy ones and its literally took me an hour to make one bag & I wasn't in love with it.

    @Future Mrs. A- I am checking out that site now. I like the styles alot!

    Thanks guys!!

    I too am looking for bags. I found some stickers on oriental trading that we will put on the front of the plain bags we plan to purchase. they were very inexpensive and match our theme completely. I figure it is easier to put a large sticker on the bag for decoration instead of trying to decorate them each by hand.

    I'm following this post for more ideas. Thanks for posting the question. Smiley smile

    No problem Smiley smile I am reasonably crafty. But I just cant pick what I want. I know its a super small detail but I worked at a hotel, I used to be the one to hand the guests the bags from the wedding party and they always got so excited and were please the Bride & Groom thought of them.

    I don't know how much you wanted to spend. My sister got married a year ago and we bought these cloth resuable tote bags that were custom printed with their names and wedding date. They had some kind of special, so I got them for $5 each and they turned out lovely. Very nice quality, I still use mine for groceries or hauling stuff.

    We just got plain bags from the dollar store and jazzed them up with ribbon, tissue paper and a cute note.
