I never sent any originals. I sent copies and apparently it was alright because we never got called out on it.

Yep copies is the way to go. You only need the originals at the interview.

I only sent copies of documents for the I-129F, and my fiancee only sent copies to the Consulate for the K1. I don't even think you need to worry about originals, but it wouldn't hurt to take them to the interview just in case.
