Aww Nicole, Louisa, and Sarah you girls are so nice. It's just pashs but thank you. I just don't want the bags falling apart on me on the train. That was a mess last time. And I have over 200 to get people so far so I am def going to need to take my car. ~Cancunbride2b I wish I could tell you where they are but I swear to you everytime I go there I get lost. LOL. Every store looks the same. They are defenitly on broadway. I think they are between canal and something else. It's by the Q train station. But if you just go to chinatown and walk up and down the shops you will see them. They have them in almost every store. They usually sell them for 3 for $10 but I bargain with them and I have been able to get them for $2.75 especially since I have such a large order. The trick is asking them, they will say no, then walk away and act like you don't care. They usually call you back as your walking away and agree to your price.

Thank you for all the great info! I'm glad you had a good time and enjoyed your anniversary.

No prob Christine!

Hi guys, Okay I have everyone's orders and I will leave this open for the next couple of weeks so that if anyone else wants to add on they can. I figure I will go the weekend after July 4th so that I can get Christine's order to her since her wedding is at the end of July. ~Courtney DHL is just a delivery company like UPS or FedEx. I can also UPS or FedEx but I sent some to Louisa in Canada via DHL (the mail guy told me it was the best route to go) and it go to her really quickly. Let me know if you want to approximate the number of guests. ~Jolene I know you want Tiffany blue or robin's egg blue but since that is a trademark color I doubt they will have it. I will try my best to get the closest thing to it. Actually I think I have seen a color that strongly resembles it, it is actually really pretty. ~Julie you said you want pink but what shade of pink? There is literally a million different shades of pink. Do you want light pink, fuschia, coral pink what? I will try to get half in the pink and half in the dark brown but I've never seen dark brown so I don't know if they have that. If I can only get a few pieces in the dark brown and not 12 do you still want me to get some in dark brown? ~Christine what color do you want and how many? ~Lizzy and Kate didn't you want some?

Finally, the day has come, for our little Tammy to say her I Do's. I cannot wait to see pics and hear how it all went. I know it is going to be so romantic and you are going to have an amazing time. I am sooooooooooooo happy for you Tammy! Please hurry home so we can see pics and hear all about it.

I don't understand how I miss these entire vent threads!!! Where the heck am I? Am I really lost in a pool of paperwork. Uggh darn job is ruining my BDW social life. LOL. ~Okay Lisa, I just read this entire thread and I cannot believe this whole thing just happened. I have to admit that from reading your posts I kind of got the impression that she really didn't want to go. I think its somewhat of a hassle for her b/c of her kids. This really sucks and is so unfair considering that you guys are best friends and you were there for her when the birth of her children occured. You must be very upest. I recently let a friend go and it was the hardest thing I ever had to do. (My FI never liked her either) I hope that with time you will start to feel better and realize that you don't want someone at your wedding that doesn't really want to be there wholeheartedly.

Okay ladies, A lot of brides have been asking me if I can make another trip to chinatown to pic up more pashs. I am going to make another trip and get whatever anybody needs but I am going to wait until July b/c I am crazed right now with trials. I'm also going to go down there first to make sure they have the pashs b/c I can't remember if they sell them during the summer. If they do I think the colors are limited. I may have to make a couple of trips b/c I know the woman I have been getting them from doesn't have a lot but she is usually able to get me whatever I need. I have been able to get them for $2.75 each (although I can't guarantee this price). However, I think she will honor that price since I have bought from her twice before and she seems to remember me which is good. You can send me your addresses via PM but please post here if you want me to pick you up pashs. Let me know how many and what colors. I will do my best to get everyone whatever they want. As soon as I get them I will ship them via US Priority Mail. I don't think they take long to ship. If anyone is in Canada then I will ship them via DHL. Once I ship them out I will PM you and let you know how much the total cost for the pashs and shipping is. Also I'm really sorry to have to do this but b/c so many people want them I will not be able to carry them on the train so I will have to drive my car in. This means that I will have to pay for parking which is pretty expensive. I belive its like $16 per hour or something ridiculous like that. It won't take me longer than an hour though. Depending on how many people are getting pashs I will just divide the parking cost among everyone. Sorry to spring this on everyone but there is no way I could carry all these on the train, and I am broke with all the weddings I have to attend.

Yes I got your PM. I was just going through all the PM's and trying to get organized and figure out when the best time to go is. I'm going to start a thread now.

Thank you for posting, this was very helpful.

I remember if you had 2000 posts then you got the Elite banner but if you had I believe 1,000 or 1500 or something then you got the Elite title written by your name but it wasn't a banner. But if your a moderator then you don't get the elite title. J/K. And I am pretty sure the MOTM title stays forever b/c I still see Jackie's and Karla's.

I have not been to any of these but just based on reviews and pics I would go with Mayan Palace in PV. I think the WC at Dreams is way too slow based on what everyone else says. That would drive me crazy!! Also I would rather be closer to the downtown area so I would pick PV over Nuevo Vallarta. That alone would make me want to pick Mayan Palan in PV. Also I have seen the pics of the weddings at the Mayan Palace and it looks amazing!!!! That would def be my choice if I was going to pick a place. And Amy has been working with the WC and she says he responds quickly which is always a plus.

Please do not take any offense to any of the comments that have been posted. Everyone knows you were only trying to help. I think the photographers and a lot of the brides are upset b/c they are unfairly charging a fee without offering an alternative. It seems to be monopolized and that is what is upsetting. If some of the photographers came off as upset, they are only upset with the policies that are in place, not your helpful comments. We appreciate everyones comments and we want you to continue offering your advice. Thanks.

Congratulations! I hope it was everything you dreamed of and more. And I hope Ann got that starfish to you ontime.

These are so funny!

Courtney this is soooo funny and it will be hysterical to read what people write. I think this will all depend on what type of guests you have. I know my friends would be annoyed by this and would never send it back b/c they can't be bothered. (They are so annoying!!!) I think if I got this, I would put it aside so that I could think of good stuff to write but then this would delay you getting the RSVP from me. Okay now I am just rambling.

Amy everything looks amazing! You are such a pretty bride. I really loved the white halter dress that you were wearing in some of your pics, it is so pretty. And I really love the pic of your hubby and his friends with the cigars, such a cute guys pic. I'm glad everything went well, it looked and sounds like you had so much fun. Congratulations again to the new Mrs!

Those look great Paula! I really like the picture and I think the postcard idea is great.

Great pics Jessica! For some reason I completely forgot that you are pregnant. I think I am officially losing my mind. LOL. You look so pretty. St. Thomas looks great. I know nothing about it so seeing your pics really help paint a pic for me. I can't wait to see your wedding pics.

Welcome back Jessica! Glad to hear everything went so well. Sorry about the cameras, I hate when people don't follow instructions and do whatever they want anyway! Hopefully the two families will stay in bliss for a long time. Ahhh I don't think I can wait until June 7th for your pics!!!!

Oooh Anny those are really pretty! Don't be upset those are great. I'm sure your BM's will love them. Hopefully you can find two more like that.

CONGRATS to Courtney and Sarah! Two very well deserving brides. You guys are amazing and we are so lucky to have you give your input and advice to all of us. I know I for one always appreciate it.

Of course once I was able to finally see them I fell in love! LOL. I love pics. I think everyone on this site does. What's not to love. LOL.

Congratulations! Welcome and let us know how we can help in the wedding planning.
