So, if these are the dresses you really want then that's always an option. Yup this is what I'm thinking....I told them if they want to try on dresses to try on the dress that fits them now and either get a size bigger than that or loose weight in a year LOL

If you want to buy them now, I would suggest that you buy them yourself and hold onto them until closer to the wedding. That way, in case you change your mind/date/location they're not out the money. I am just speaking from experience. I bought 8 bm dresses for my girls at Banana right at the beginning of planning before we had planned on doing a DW. I ended up having to return the $ and the dresses a few months later when we cancelled the hometown wedding and decided on a DW. A lot can happen in the next year. I've also told them that I would do this (buy their dresses for them) but they said no, that they will do it. I've also been planning for this wedding since engagement (12/25/05), and changed my mind on location once and Erik and I changed the date from 2007 to 2008....So I KNOW I'M NOT CHANGING MY MIND ANYMORE lol, Erik and I promised eachother.

I've asked them to guess their size but all three have said they want to try on dresses...that's their choice not mine.... Vanessa guessed her size and ordered it online...when it gets to her house she is going to try it on and if it doesn't fit will send it back for a different size. Like I said...she's my smart one LOL

I have told them that but they keep complaining about it.... My friend Shelly is extremely busy today and this weekend (she's in a concert this weekend for her school, she's an opera singer) so I totally understand but I'm sorry don't need the attitude. My sisters are just lazy. I just don't know....it's only a size that I need...come on!

Ok...so I know I've mentioned on here that my wedding is not until June/July2008, but I'm having my bridesmaid (2 sisters, and 2 friends) get their dresses now. I'm having them try on and get the JCrew dress that I've posted on other threads and at the time I was looking at them they were only $98 and this was a couple of weeks ago....So I told them to go try them on when they can. Well Yesterday I went on JCrew website to see if dress is still there and it is but the color I want (Rosebud) is on the sales section now. $69 now....One of my girls (vanessa) has already ordered her dress...I love her, she totally understands....but my sisters, and other friend are complaining that it is too early, or they're too busy to go try on dress..... Geesh...I just need their sizes, then I can order the dress for them.....I'm sorry but I don't know how long that dress will still be there. I really want them to get this dress......They think I'm crazy. Eitherway, I'm taking my younger sister (Renee) to JCrew tomorrow to try on a size then order, my older sister is going today to the mall (after I begged her to do so) and Shelly (friend) is angry at me but is going at her lunch time today to try on dress....She is really busy this weekend....but I told her all she needs to do is run in try on sizes and then I will not bother her again. Sorry for writing so much, I just needed to vent. Drea

I have my website but I have a password on it....I've only given the password to certain people just to check it out and BDW. No one as placed a comment. I would ask the people that you gave the password to if they did it....or change your password.

i was wondering where these threads were....Or I was just to lazy right now to look for it...Thanks girls. I want to you Ipod for dinner and then The twins for dancing.

melissa , I loved the speech....

very pretty

Hi....Yeah I just got back from PV.... Yes, Erik is coming with me to Cabo in July...it's mostly for him (to see Casa Del Mar, meet Maye, put $ down to save the date), his vacation time, though it is only for 4 days and he wants to go scuba diving.... I'm making sure he comes with me to Casa Del Mar with Maye and myself so we can pick food, date, see location, and $ but then he wants to disappear and go diving....and I'm going to have to interview photographers myself.... Hmph...kind of annoyed about that, but hey what can I do. At least I'm making sure he comes to hotel with me.

sorry can't help but let me know too

you guys are so lucky. I don't have a choice. Erik wants a small wedding but I have a large family and my mom wants me to give everyone an invitation, though I know most won't go (they told me they won't but of course that could change). So I'm listening to my mother.

I think Tammy - you have gotten some great advice and insight in this thread.. as always, you girls are great!!! M :0) Thanks Marci...got your email...will contact you once we have the date

I was contacted by Jeremy Herman, He is Bruce Herman's son...they also do video...His prices are good...pm me and I'll give you info..they are located in Cabo. Also I talked to Peter Hatton today over phone and he seems nice....also have his info.

hmmmm...well he seemed nice on the phone...has a british accent I think.

Hi girls/guys I was wondering if anyone knows who Peter Hatton is? He just called me on my cell to introduce himself and to see if I have a photographer yet, I guess I emailed him awhile back and just forgot....Well, I'm going to meet him (scheduled a appointment over phone just now) when I'm in Cabo July. Do you know who Jeremy Herman is? Also a photographer....son of Bruce Herman. I'm also meeting Juan Carlos...but I know who he is

I want to do video but just the raw footage...is that possible? BVP? Erik can edit it when we get back home.

I think it will be 7 days but I'll be on summer vacation but Erik has to work....so we are going to plan something for the following year when he has timeoff again. I think we are going to spend our honeymoon in La Paz...I'm not sure though, Erik's planning it.

christa I still can't believe it's been 3 weeks already. Wow... Thank you so much for your insights...They were truly needed. I have been occassionally stressing out about things but after sitting down and reading your review when you wrote it I just relaxed and took everything to heart. Your right, there is no need to stress, the guests are adults they can take care of themselves, if a DIY project is not going well or your stressing out about there are other options... Thank you again.

Thanks girls...Vanessa already bought her's online and is waiting for it....My sister Cynthia who is in Seattle is going to Jcrew this week....other sister Renee is going with me to JCrew this weekend...and the weekend after Shelly and I are getting hers...cross your fingers they all look good in them...I'll take pics. I still have to take a pic of me in my dress...but I'll do that later

cute pictures Christine...you looked like you had a lot of fun.

thanks Jamy...hopefully it fits all of them....I have really big boobed girls LOL...all but me LOL
