I'm trying to eat healthy though and I've been mostly substituting a protein shake for my dinner instead of a big meal. I've lost a few lbs that way and am able to maintain it. Once i'm an old married woman and actually eat a substantive dinner again I'm sure I'll be back up 5-8 lbs!! I think I'm going to try a cleanse one more time the week before I go to lose a few more lbs and give myself a little wiggle room for guacamole and margaritas the few days before my wedding!!

OMG Sunbride, I'm crying! Soooo touching and so gorgeous!

Thanks everybody! Like I said- I never would have been able to do any of it without you all. And a friend of mine who created my logo and helped with the brochure! I'll happily send anything, just PM your emails!

hey ladies, I'm out of town the next 2 weekends and then I leave for Mexico so I put up my planning thread a bit early. In case you didnt see it- http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t31997

The tequila - we're thinking of stopping on our way at a liquor store (or maybe duty free on the way in) and getting a bunch of different types of GOOD tequila to 'taste'- i'm a tad worried about the debauchery to follow... no stopping it though. I actually have a friend who has this great design software and she helped me make my logo and my pre-mailing brochure. Its in pdf format so its not a template and cant be changed. She had to convert it to pdf in order for me to open it on my computer. If you still want it, PM me!

Now that I have a handle on my projects (put on hold with the DT closure) I'm just anxious to get there! I got the first aid kits at Target a few months back in the dollar bins!!! Then I made the immodium/advil packets. I got it from this forum- a bunch of girls were using the template going around!

Okay ladies- I've tried editing my posts to make them smaller and its NOT working. I dont know why photobucket i saving some normal size and some not. Even when I fix it and go back and edit my post it wont work... So sorry- some are huge and some are normal. Tequila tasting/cigars Towards the end of the night after everyone has EATEN we’re doing a tequila tasting and cigars. We’ll have the staff bring out a table and set it up with this sign, the cigars, and the custom shot glasses we had made. I think that’s it!!! What a whirlwind! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU to all of you! Enjoy and let me know if you have questions!

Ring bearer “pillow” – we’re attaching our fake rings to one of these mini-sombreros Guest Book sign – we’re doing the Polaroid guest book Place Cards- mini maracas from OTC Table cards – my mom has the frames they’re going in. but you get the idea. Each table is named after a place my FI and I have traveled together. At each table we’ll have a mini-photo album with pictures of us from the trip the table is named after still more to come...

I swear I'm resizing these!!! clearly I'm an idiot!! Brochurse/Pre-mailing: we sent these in the mail on today (about 3 weeks before we leave). Its 4 pages and each page is a different size so it lines up and you can quickly flip through.

photoshare card (vistaprint) Gifts for my flower girls – picture frame ,coloring books, some toys for the water, starfish necklace, nailpolish, jewelry roll thing for traveling (target $1 bin!), anklet Gifts for my junior groomsmen (nephew) )- water toys, word games, engraved pocket tool/knife thingy (with the permission of his parents)

Okay- I think I got it... OOT Bags- Contents: stadium cups, from Oriental Trading; palm tree pens, change purse, squirt guns. Gum, candy, sudoko, first aid kit, photoshare card, and welcome letter. We are thinking of adding a guest facebook page (pics of guests with their names). We’ll see Welcome letter

Hope this works...trying to make it smaller OOT Bags – cheaptotes.com + iron on transfer paper

oh crap- how do I make them smaller

I have never posted pictures so I hope this works! I am one of the least creative people around; I cannot thank you ladies enough for all of your support and fantastic ideas. Your sharing of information, templates, ideas and of course the comraderie in stressing together – especially through all of this DT closure business!! Thanks to so many of you for your great ideas, many of which you’ll se reflected in my planning pics! Boarding pass STD Passport invitation RSVP postcard (from vistaprint) More to come...

I bought tulle for my chairs as well. That's what Sunbride used and it looked GREAT! I'm pretty sure she got 54 x40 from Tulle Bolt 54"x40 Yard <br>wedding tulle wedding decorations<font color=red><br> From $16.95 Per Bolt</font>. Related topic sort of random question- Sunbride, did you cut the tulle beforehand or did you pack the whole spool?

PICS PICS PICS! 200 bucks is VERY reasonaable! tha tis so fun and a custom bow tie?!?! post pics of that too when you get it!! Fun day, Simistar!!

Trish- I love all of your pics! Absolutely gorgeous and looks so fun!

Trisha- thanks for the info about the videographer. Would LOVE to see it. Do you know what the company's name was or the guy by chance? Any other girls have feedback on the DT videographer? Did you get actual words for the ceremony? Quote: Originally Posted by amesharpe On that note, I've got a dress that's a size too small and have to loose about 10 pounds before the wedding.

I'll be there 10 days before the wedding and am hoping to get some last minute workouts in. It's soo nice to be in real planning mode again. The gym was probably the thing about DT I was LEAST impressed with. PRetty basic and not very nice looking. It did have weights, treadmill etc but all very basic. And it was pretty hot in there the day I went (i only went one day b/c I didnt like it!) Unless they fixed it up since last January...

Simistar those look great!! I love the flipflop/star fish stand. LOVE IT! Today my plan is to print and make my: - programs - table numbers - trip pack/brochure to mail out this week - photo scavenger hunt sign (if we decide tto do it) - programs (although i still dont know what my 2 readers are going to read. I might just put Reading 1, Reading 2. DO YOU THINK THAT'S WEIRD??

I havent gotten responses from anyone yet... I'm sure they're still swamped. Hopefully soon. In the meantime- question about the videographer from the resort-- is there an option to film and actually hear the words of the ceremony, guests etc or is it always dubbed over by musicI really want a videographer and dont want to pay for an outside one but I want to actually hear what is being said (vs just hearing the music and seeing the shots). Does anybody know? i dont expect an answer from Landy right away and if not i may want to book a videographer afterall... thanks!!!
