If a toned bag, with distinct name tags, packed with cookies and personal items is your idea of an Out of Town (OOT) gift bag, then you might be more than happy to read here of some more exciting OOT ideas.

OOT is a gift bag with personalized items, given to guests who visit the wedding ceremony and have travelled from out of your town. It is the warmest way of expressing your heart felt ‘Thank You' to your dear ones who have travelled all the way to be a part of your wedding; and if the wedding destination involves a long travel to the chosen beach wedding destination, then exploring some best creative ways to personalize an OOT for them should be the most coveted part of your wedding plan.

Starting first, draw a budget line for the OOT bags. Once that is done, you will be able to select the items for the bag in a pre - decided manner.

1. Firstly, an OOT can be selected keeping in mind their reusability. Handmade or reusable fabric is a good choice and gives a different look. The color of the bag could be blue or ocean green, matching with the beach wedding theme.
2. Sea shells can be included in the item list for your OOT. They could be White Sea shells that are commonly used or the more extravagant Nautilus depending on your budget. A mixed sea shell bag could include all the types. You could also have one large sea shell with the guest name painted on it.
3. Pinning a sand dollar in the front of the bag with a card attached mentioning the guest name is another creative way of tagging the OOTs. Again they vary in size and can be selected depending on your budget.
4. A t-shirt with dolphins and shells woven or embroidered is another likeable item that can be a part of your OOT bag.
5. There are also cards available which mention the legend of sand dollar. It's a worthwhile pick and can be used by your guest as a bookmark.
6. Other popular decorative items with beach themes could be sea shell wind chimes, small picture frames, a wall hanging, or even a night lamp or a chandelier. Jewelry items, like sea shell earrings, hand bands, belts and necklaces can be ordered or crafted, as personal accessories.
7. Cookies made in the shape and design of corals or sells or other sea birds and animals, like Sea Gulls and Dolphins can also be elegantly packed.
8. A wedding plan pinned inside a paper - made coral or Sea Gull could include in it the time of your ceremony, reception and other events for the day if any.
9. A map or direction route with sight - seeing around your beach wedding destination, folded and packed into a glass bottle with some sand and shells sprinkled inside could help the guest travel nearby in their spare time.
10. Lastly, a small thank you card with ocean pictures, expressing your gratitude to the guest for being able to make it to your wedding, is most appropriate.

You may either choose to place the OOTs at the reception or at their designated seating or even into their hotel rooms.

Your guests are the ones who become a part of the most unforgettable event of your life. They are the ones who smile, all from while you walk down the aisle to taking your vows. A personally selected OOT bag is just a small way of thanking them in return of their warm blessings.
