Wow! That's a lot of gifts! Almost 20 years ago, my DD had a destination wedding. I made beach bags for each person/couple that attended. It was really neat to see my bags being used round and about the resort. I think you should keep things as simple as possible. You could possibly add pot holders or hot pads to your list. I make mine with a layer of the silver heat resistant batting and a layer of 80/20. And I make sure to quilt them with cotton thread.
