Wedding Wednesday: What I Included In My Bachelorette Goodie Bags

 Hopefully, you were able to catch yesterday’s blog post sharing all of the details about my bachelorette weekend theme and where we found decorations! Today’s post is equally as fun as I will be sharing what was inside the gift bags I gave each of the girls' who attended the weekend.

Given that I picked out the theme, I’m sure Nell and Sophia (my maid and matron of honor) weren’t surprised when I insisted on taking over other tasks as well. One of those tasks that I wanted to be in charge of was the goodie bags! Nell and Sophia both know I love surprises and added a few items with the weekend’s logo as well as a surprise gift from each of them into each girls' bag. Since we were spending the weekend at the lake, I wanted to make sure the items included were both useful and went with the theme, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how they turned out. And if you can’t tell from the photos, then I’m happy to assure you everything was well loved and used throughout the weekend! 

I feel so fortunate to have been able to work with brands that I adore and have worked with in the past on some aspects of these bags! While I certainly don’t think spending a fortune on gifts is necessary, I do find it to be a nice thank you from the bride ahead of all of the wedding festivities they are likely taking time to travel to and spend money on. That was one of the main reasons I wanted the majority of the items to be coming from me, with only a few items included as extras that went with our theme! 

The Bags: Sprinkled with Pink Shop

  

I know that many of us have closets full of tote bags, but having a cute place to put all of the goodies included in their gift was important to me. When it came to which tote bags I own consistently get a lot of use, I kept coming back to my Sprinkled with Pink Shadow Monogram Jute Carryall totes. I have two different sizes of these, both adorned with my monogram, and love using them as beach totes, grocery bags, and even Winnie’s bag when she’s traveling somewhere overnight and doesn’t need quite as many things. The price point on these totes is great, and you can customize them in different colors with each attendee’s initial. I went with green and white as our monogram colors for the totes as well as some of the other items from Sprinkled with Pink.

Pool Pouches: Sprinkled with Pink Shop

  

I’m a bag inside-of-a-bag person when it comes to organizing smaller items, and these Shadow Monogram Pool Bags were perfect for the little essentials I wanted to include inside the bags. I’ve since started to use mine to store sunscreen in my beach bag, and it is perfect for that! I also love how packable they are since, when empty, they are completely flat. We stuck to green and white for the monogram colors on these too. 

Inside the Pouches: 

Advil // Liquid IV // Under Eye Masks // Mini Makeup Wipes // Mini Sunscreen // Aloe // Sun Bum Chapstick

Water Bottles: Sprinkled with Pink Shop

  

It’s easy to get dehydrated in the sun, so these Custom Name Tumblers were great to have on hand and made it easy for us to know which drinks were whose. I went with the blue tumbler and stuck to green and white for everyone’s names on these. 

Lounge Chair Towels: Weezie Towels

 

 

I knew with our weekend taking place at the lake and Hunter’s family’s lake house having great lounge chairs that some sort of towel or lounge chair cover would be so practical. I love my Weezie towels and bathrobes and was thrilled to be able to include one of their Pool Lounge Covers in each person’s bag! The blue and white stripes looked adorable with the Waverly text style I picked out to be embroidered in green thread on each one. Weezie thought through every detail of this design since it’s extra long to cover the entirety of a lounge chair and has a functional back pocket to keep the towel in place without sliding. Plus, like with all of Weezie’s towels, they are plush and absorbent helping us to make sure we were nice and dry before heading inside after being in the water. 

Cocktail Kits: Camp Craft Cocktails 

 

  

I discovered Camp Craft Cocktails through Hunter’s mom, who gifted him a container one year around Christmas. Each of the containers makes about 8 cocktails, and all of the ones I’ve tried so far are delicious. When thinking about what to include, the name alone made these a no-brainer! What’s especially cool about them is that you just add the alcohol of your choice, refrigerate it, and then shake it up to enjoy. Each girl got a different flavor so that we would have the ability to try a few kinds! I need to order more of these to have as easy hostess gifts when heading over to a friend’s house for a meal or party! 

Bandanas: Nell stitched our names on these (similar available to customize here)

 

 

Bandanas seemed like an essential part of the camp theme, and Nell took it upon herself to hand embroider our names on each of the bandanas! This was so thoughtful, and now I need to commission her to embroider all of Winnie’s bandanas. We folded these and tied these to each of the bags, so it was easy to know who to hand them out to when passing them out after dinner on Friday night! 

Luggage Tag & Notepad: Joy Creative Shop

 

 

I love a notepad for my to-do lists and even included another style from this brand in my bridesmaids' proposal boxes. The wavy border of these personalized notepads was a subtle nod to waves in the lake but more than anything a practical item to be able to use even once the weekend was over. When I saw the luggage tags I couldn’t help but order those for everyone too and put their addresses on the back in case they want to attach them to their luggage the next time they fly. 

Pool Floats: Amazon

I shared these pool floats in yesterday’s post, and included how I ended up using them as decoration, but for the price including two pool floats in the cutest colors/patterns that perfectly matched our theme I was impressed by the quality and size! 

Hats with Camp Walton Logo: Custom Ink

 

 

I let Nell and Sophia be in charge of any of the branded “merch” for the weekend with the request that the hats be hats that people would actually want to wear. I love a white athletic material hat and reach for them more often than a cotton hat or the popular trucker style hat that I’ve seen on many bachelorettes and Nell really delivered on finding the best material. So much so that Hunter even wanted to make sure enough were ordered that he could buy one too! I quickly Venmoed for any leftover hats since I think they will make a great gift for my family members around the holidays! 

Camp Mugs: Discount Mugs

I think the item from the bag that has gotten the most use so far has been the camp-style mugs with our weekend logo on the front. I can’t remember who thought of these for the bags, but I’m so glad they did! I love using mine for my morning cup of coffee now that I’m back home. The ones we got ended up being really good quality and have held up well during accidental trips in the dishwasher. 

Parker Knoll Shirts: Etsy

I could sing Nell and Sophia’s praises for so many things beyond just helping to throw my ideal bachelorette weekend, but everyone was singing their praises when they opened their bag to find a Parker Knoll t-shirt that they gifted us. At least 3 times a week, I open my phone to a picture from one of my friends wearing theirs. which makes me so happy. They said they found these on Etsy. and they are so soft since they are Comfort Colors brand. Before doing s’mores Friday night everyone changed into pajamas and without any instruction we all walked out to the fire pit in our new shirts! 

And in true Parent Trap fashion, each bag had an Evian bottle with a lizard glued to it and a couple of packs of Oreos with peanut butter. I had the best time gathering these items and putting them together for my friends and was so proud to show Hunter how perfectly I was able to pack them in the trunk I grew up taking to camp! I’ve included all of the items in our bag below to shop in case you think one or two may work for a bachelorette you’re helping to host!
