~Tap tap ... tap tap~ Still awaiting a reply from Claudia at Dreams to my email from 4/25. Am I being too impatient? Maybe she is getting quotes on the bouquet and reception table ideas I sent her. I had other questions too that should have been easy though.

Just wanted to add another OOT bag link, they are not expensive and are kinda beachy: Invitations By Dawn: All Accessories - Canvas Tote Bags

Thanks for sharing the pics! Looks like you all had a great time!

I saw it advertised in their magazine and wondered if anyone here had tried it yet. Look forward to your review Kate.

I already posted Mason's pic, but this is my best friend's Boston Terrier. This was 4 years ago. I just saw it as it is one of the pictures on my screensaver slideshow. This is for you TammyM!

I got a link to this in my email today about wedding stamps through Zazzle and theKnot. They have many graphics to choose from and there is a reduced price if you buy more than 1 sheet of 20 stamps. 41 cent stamps at 39 cent price until May 14th: Zazzle.comâ„¢ Stamps

Then I think I'd do bright pink callas for the BMs. I've been so back and forth on this. I was originally thinking of doing the bright pink callas for myself..... AH! Too many decisions Good morning Susan! Happy Friday! ~yawn~ I really like your bouquet idea. I am really liking orchids lately in my flower search. Maybe I will use one in my hair.

Also, does anyone know what this "upgraded bridal bouquet" is?? At first I thought you got to choose from the VIP list, but I guess thats not it either. Why can't they make this easy?? I sent her pictures earlier this week and have not heard anything yet for bouquets and table arrangements. I'll let you all know when I do

Too bad they don't allow outside florists because the BM bouquets quoted to me were about $50 USD.

How fun Amy! Can't wait to see pictures and read your reviews!

Congratulations and welcome!

My wedding is not until Feb though... She didn't say if the cakes are customizable... Glad to see there is chocolate because that is what my FI wants. Maybe we can do one layer of one flavour and one of another. I'll be interested to see what she says about the flowers. I sent her a similar question and pictures. Thanks for posting these responses!

Yes! I think it would be something special for your group. Go for it!

Love it! Made me tear up... I like how personal it is, especailly about the moment you knew you were in love with him. I am not as far as writing my vows yet, but my sister passed on a book for me to use. I think I like the idea of making it personal and writing them from scratch, but I won't be able to get through them with out bawling!

Welcome Claudia!

I guess I should let Claudia know that we will not need the services of the minister and maybe get a credit for that part of the package! What do you girlies think Yes!! That would make it just that much more special! I would think she would give you the credit.

Does anyone know anything about the minister? Are we able to meet with him/her beforehand? I'm wondering how much we will be able to customize the ceremony. We are going to do the same thing... darn it, I sent Claudia an email today and did not ask her that... I have to start another list. I did ask her if email was easier or if I should call her to discuss.

Dreams Cancun

I bought new running shoes on Sunday and finally went for a walk with my dog today. Does that count for a start? I have a pilates DVD that kicks my butt everytime I use it... I am just not consistent. I need to check this post to get motivated if I want the arms I really want for my wedding day!

Quote: Originally Posted by laura b We're also not geting each other presents. When I told Michael about that tradition, he was like, "I have to get you ANOTHER present? Wasn't the ring enough" Sounds like what my FI said ... followed by he didn't know it was a tradition

So now that I have seen the different setup for the reception tables at Dreams, I like the long table setup on the Club Terrace. Would you still use a table numbering or naming for a long table? I may have around 50 people so I think we need something...

Drea! Did you decide what to do to your hair?

My FI didn't even know this was a tradition. I am just learning many of them myself I don't know if we will do a gift exchange since we are paying for everything ourselves. I really liked Nicole's little note with the socks.

Hurry! We are waiting!

Ooh ooh! I am having green! Now I have another excuse to go there. I have been hanging on to two gift certificates we got for our house warming for 4 months now! Thanks Kate!
