You can stop holding your breath, cuz you're about to get some info, yo! My awesome sister (and trusty bridesmaid) just returned from a 6-week trip to Bali, where she helped get my awesome out-of-town bags made!
I always knew I wanted personalized bags (cuz that's how I roll), and definitely wanted reusable ones to suit our Eco-Green endeavors... but being broke-ass doesn't really suit either of those desires. So, when my sister and bro-in-law came through town on their way to Bali, and mentioned they could get bags made for a fraction of American prices, I was all about it. I sent the file to their contact in Bali, and the bags were ready within a week! My sis was generous enough to carry all 50 home with her, to save me shipping costs. I couldn't believe how beautifully they turned out! They were even better than we dreamed they'd be.
All told, I got 50 custom canvas bags with 2 colors printed, for $80 dollars. You just can't beat it! Yes, I know I could have used paper bags for much less, but my carbon karma would have been no bueno. And I think.... I hope.... that they're just cute enough that people will actually reuse them, even if just for groceries.
Ah, how I wish I could get everything from Bali. My broke-ass wedding would be. so. pimp.
We plan to stuff the bags with all sorts of goodies, creature comforts and travel necessities - along with the requisite itinerary and maps, of course! We'll attach a note to explain the meaning of our logo, too - so our friends and family aren't like "What the (insert expletive) does this elephant have to do with weddings?"
What do you think? Worth the splurge? Would you use it again?
