Melissa, your FI is going to love the picture frame, thats such a thoughtful gift! Tammy, I don't think gifts are really necessary either, especially with the expense of the wedding, thats kind of why I think I'll just give him the BD pics (if I do them) and he can wait for the watch, unless.... glenda can get a good deal on tags, then he'll get his watch now. I was thinking the same thing about you trekking through the snow!!! I would totally love it if you are able to get a good deal on these, general price idea would be fine. I really appreciate it!!

Thanks Sherri! Is anyone else doing parasols?? I really like them, even FI liked the idea when I mentioned it, (which is odd) I think they'll look really pretty in pictures, and if you don't have a ton of people the price isn't too bad. I'm also thinking of having our daughter carry one instead of flowers, because I only have a certain amount of bouquets/corsages/bouts included in my package and I haven't figured it all out yet about who will need them, so this way even if she doesn't have flowers she'll have a pretty parasol!

Glenda, I love it, its beautiful, yet has a clean, classic look to it, you'll look beauiful, and that will be fun to have two dresses!!

I know exactly how evil fat sherry feels, lol!!! I am running out in a few minutes to bring the little one to play practice and when I get back, I'm going on the damn treadmill, (can you tell I'm really looking forward to this) And I need to do some arms, I need to start a whole arm program!

Natalie, you're just a week before me! I'm going through the dress thing right now too and its so hard to decide. I love so many different dresses!!

Anny, that tiara is beautiful!!! It looks like exactly what I want!

I got this today with some cake options & prices Attachment 442 And these are the ones included in the packages Attachment 443

I thought you might be wondering, lol! I saw this thread pop up this morning & it reminded me!

I forgot to post last night, I did the treadmill for 40 minutes last night natalie thanks for the site, I'll have to check it out later

I know it sound spretty bad but I kinda wish I had help from my parents on the wedding. I'm actually shocked they havent offerred to pay for anything, as they are fairly well off. I didn't expect it just thought maybe they would offer and now that I'm realizing how much $$$ its going to cost I'm wishing they would heheh Melissa, I feel the same way. My parents aren't super well off, but they're not broke either. And I know how much money they gave my sister for her wedding, so even if they subtracted what they are paying for there travel to mexico, I should still be getting a couple thousand dollars from them, every bit helps! They haven't even mentioned it and it kind of makes me mad!! My dad owns his own business and his busy season is coming up soon, so right now he doesn't have anything to give me, but I'm hoping once the busy season is done he'll give me something, but my mom I know has money in the bank and it just hurts me that they haven't even offered and I know they paid for about half of my sisters LARGE wedding.

Welcome Andrea, let us know if you need help with anything!

Kate, I feel the same way, its driving me crazy!!! Until I know for sure how many people are coming I feel like there are so many variables and I can't do anything until I have a better count! I just want to send my invitations out so I can know for sure!

I would just pick up labels from staples or office depot and you can print them right on your own printer. I think the company that makes them is Avery, and they integrate with word on your computer

Welcome! I am getting married in Cancun too, at dreams. We have a bride here that just left for her wedding at MP, so I'm sure you'll hear all about it when she returns!

Okay, Love Cains shirt, fans came out great, pretty necklace, I love the earrings, but don't know if they go with everything else, I love dangly earrings. I think maybe because they have brown in them and everything else is like silver with clear stones, I would say either wear the diamond studs, or if you're like me and like dangly earrings, find some that look similar to the necklace, with silver & clear stones.

OMG Jessalyn, what a project!! They came out beautiful you should be so happy with them!

I have noticed you've been on here a lot today, lol!! You've got to make up for when you'll be gone forever for your wedding!! Watch out you might get Tammy's BAPW syndrome (being a post whore, for those of you that didn't read the other thread, lol!!)

we talked about a bbq too, before we left, so that we could see everyone that couldn't make it. I say "before" we left because when we get back from the wedding it will be winter, not really a good time for a bbq. But I nixed the idea because A. we don't have the extra money for it, even though it wouldn't be that expensive, B. I don't want to plan anything else before the wedding. C. We had originally wanted to do this because we didn't think a lot of our friends would make it, but I think most of FI's friends are coming, and my of my friends, the girls are the only ones I really care about seeing, so my sister is doing a regular bridal shower for me and I will see all of the ladies there instead. So unless my mom decides to plan & pay for something, we're not doing it.

OMG Christa,everytime I see your sig with your countdown I get so excited that your wedding is almost here!!!! If I get this excited I can't imagine how excited you must be, I am going to be just dying to leave when my time comes!!!

Melissa, I'm not even sure if you can order online? I think you have to go to the store, but maybe someone else knows

Nicole your house is beautiful, you're so lucky to be in warm weather!

I was just talking to FI about this today, he doesn't really like when I go to tanning because he thinks its bad for me, but he understands why it will be good for me to go before mexico, because I am also pretty white. I'm hoping I'll have some carryover tan from the summer, my bd pics will be at the end of august, so I'll want to be tan for those for that "thin" look, so I'll probably start tanning at the beginning of august. Tanning really does make your fat look better

They do seem to have sales a lot, unless different stores in different areas of the country have them at different times. I know the one near me just ended the sale a couple of weeks ago and when I went last week I asked the girl if the sale had ended and she said yes, but didn't mention it was starting again, maybe she was being sneaky!

Nice job on the luggage tags Sarah, I may have to steal that idea!
