Posted Monday, August 11, 2008 4:19 PM

Surprise your bridal party with something functional and fun -- a tote bag. Check out this trendy carry-all bag from Jane Marvel.

This new line of vegan-friendly bags offers 17 different styles -- from weekenders to shoppers -- of lightweight, laminated canvas totes perfect for a day at the beach (they're waterproof) or a day of shopping.

My favorite, the Jitney, is the perfect travel bag with durable covered corners, versatile patterns and plenty of space for everything you'll need. Available for $96 at Jane Marvel.

Stuff the tote with jewelry, customized notepads, flip flips and other goodies for the girls. Or, just let them enjoy the surprise that comes in each bag (such as matching sleep masks or mouspads).
