Any 2011 Brides out there?


Recommended Posts

Hello ladies!

 

Well, everything worked out with the dress last week. The seamstress said she can make it fit me perfectly, so that's a relief!

 

Last week I went to stay with my sister who lives in Door County, WI (about 5 hours away) for the week and spend some time with her and my 5 month old godson! It was so great to spend some time with the little guy, but I must say I have a new respect for you mom's out there. It is HARD work!

 

I babysat all day Thurs & Fri while my sister was at work, and poor little Jack had just started teething . . . so I was giving him cold rags, frozen teethers, putting him in his swing, reading him books, watching Baby Einstein, standing on my head -- ANYTHING to pacify him!!

 

As a sidenote, I also watched a marathon session of My Fair Wedding, Bridezillas and Rich Bride Poor Bride while I was there. Thank god I'm cheap and don't have those channels at home!

Nicy, I didn't order them last night sad.gif I am having second thoughts about the design I picked out. I'm thinking of just going with something more simple as to not spend so much money. I'm also thinking of finding a STD template on here I like and just making them myself to save money. This being the third time we've ordered them, I don't want to spend a lot of money, you know?
Personally i would make them, i didnt do STD's but i did make my own invites and rsvp's :-) I love making them, getting a template from here is a great idea as im sure there will be loads and loads :-) Let us know what you decide xo

Hi All,

Just thought I'd introduce myself, as I'm another 2011 bride. I've been hanging around the Azul Sensatori thread only so far, as that's where we're having our wedding. But thought this might be a good group of ladies to join too and share ideas and experiences with as I go.

 

Not sure if I'll be able to fully catch up on all 200+ pages of this thread but I've skimmed through them a bit and I'm sure I'll jump in to the swing of things around here with you ladies quickly enough.

 

so... Hi! Oh, real name is Kelsey by the way

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
