I agree you have to pick your battles and this is not one that I want. We'll get the shirts....he is wanting to get my dad and bro one too which is nice...and I'll drop the pedi's for now.

Sorry for venting girls!! I'm done now =)

Oh yeah! He's also said....well all I get is a shirt (cause he already has his pants and their not wearing shoes) and you get the get a new dress...HELLO I will let him wear a dress if he wants. haha! He started throwing my dress into the picture.

You're right. He probably just needs to feel like he has control over something.

I totally see your point, Tammy. Since we've been living together, for almost 2 years now. He NOT ONCE has EVER asked me how much ANYTHING is. He gives me his checks and expects that everything is taken care of - and it always is. Even the wedding planning. He has NOT ONCE asked me how much anything is costing. WHY is he arguing with me over this?? I don't understand!!??

Seriously!! He never wants to know about $$....I don't know why he's starting now. I'm soooo going to pay for them anyway - - haha!

At the wedding you just went to, did they give the shirts as their gift or that plus. You might want to ask the bride what she also got her BM's because I bet they spent about the same. They gave the guys their shirts and all got a nice grill set from Sharper Image. I'll ask her what she did for her girls.

I am doing necklaces and earrings and I will be spending way more than my FI on my bridesmaids (I have 6 he has 4) but also because my BM's mean the world to me and have done a lot for me. I thought I could get shirts cheaper, but for some reason I'm having issues finding anything that he likes. Do you know of a site that has cheap mexican style shirts?

Or I just pay for the pedi's and not tell him! That's the direction I'm leaning towards at this point because he is being ridiculous!

Our friends wedding we went to in Mexico - last July....they paid for all of the guys shirts and he seems to think that he wants to also. He thinks we are being cheap by not buying their shirts, and that they are "expecting us too" because all the same guys are in our wedding. He's definitely NOT budging on this!!! He keeps saying, you know all of your girls are going to get pedicures anyways....because that how y'all are....they're already expecting to have to pay for them...

o.k., girls - question!! Sorry if I ramble!! My FI and I have set a $50 limited per BM & GM in our party. We have 11, so it's going to be $550....wow it adds up fast. WELL, my FI also wants to pay for all of the guys shirts in our wedding party, including my brother and the dads. WELL that's going to be between $500 - $600 - I'm estimating $50-$60 per shirt for 10 guys. o.k., well I wanted to treat my girls to pedicures for the wedding as an extra gift - $240 He thinks that the $40 a piece for pedicures should be part of the $50 we are spending on each person.....but HE wants to buy all the guys shirts and I think that should be their gift (If we're paying).....we are soooooo buting heads on this issue!!!! AAaaaarrrgghhhhh!!!! I'm not paying for any of my BM wedding attire. Why the heck should I have to pay for the guys??!?! Please HELP!!

Jason - Are you really going to wear a tangerine speedo on the beach?? haha!! You'll match my wedding!!

Congrats on your engagement, and welcome!!

Home This is where I got it.

Thanks - That's what I was thinking too. They hand paint your monogram on OOT bags for $2.00 each. I think I'm going to have those made as well.

Well our colors are coral and pink so I thought we would use our colors, just not a palm tree or other beach items as a theme. Home Got it for $3.00

Seriously....I suck at posting!!

well crap! see if this works. LISAJAMESMONOGRAMDOC.doc

We wanted a simple monogram - that's not beachy - that we could use again. What do you girls think??

Happy Birthday Margaret!!! Don't work too hard!!!

That's really cute and flowy!!

WOW! You're a celebrity!!

Now that I know how to post pics.... My colors are coral, orange, and pink. Do you think this color would work for my girls? They're all wearing their own thing....they just have to ok with me. I want a really casual look. I thought this was cute, just not sure if it would pass for coral...

I don't really think I like either of them either....I'm sorry!!

Happy Friday Girls!! o.k., I've stepped up my working out and my ENTIRE body is killing me!!!!!! One of my BM and I ran the past 2 mornings and I'm also lifting in the evenings with my FI. 2 a days were over in high school!!! We are going to start running 4 times a week in the a.m.'s....WHEN DO I START SEEING RESULTS!?! Why does getting skinny have to be so freakin hard? Aaaargh!!!!
