No problem. It seems like that is all that I'm doing all week, just suffering the net and looking at favours. LoL. ~~

Okay, I'm dumb. What is Pashmina? How do you wear them? How are they given for gifts? Because they are so pretty and I think that my guests will love them, and if you can wear them around your hips over your bathing suit, then I will buy lots. I don't like my hips. LoL. I feel like an idiot for not knowing what these are. *blushing.* ~~

I think that it is something that I have to toy with. Now, anyone know about a cheap place to get little starfish from? The only place in Saskatchewan is Michael's and they want an arm and a leg for it. ~~

Hi Ladies, I would like to use these mini baskets as my place card holders. I think that they are simply darling and way to cute. I figured that I will place the placecard lazily in the opening of the basket, along with a shell or something. Plus, the ribbon doesn't come with it, so I figured that this would be easy for me to bring in the "dots and dashes" ribbon that I used on my STDs and invitations and a pretty little shell in the centre. My biggest concern is that the place cards might blow out. The size of them are 2" square. Any suggestions for that? These are pretty cheap too, only $0.66 per bag, which I like considering that I'm going overboard on my OOT bags. What do you think? Thanks a bunch!!!! ~~

Thanks everyone. I really wanted to put a magnet on but then at the last minute I decided against it. Now I wish that I did. Oh well. I love making invitations!!!! ~~

Haha, my title looks funny. Anyway, just wanted to post my STD. I made them in four different colours, teal, blue, light blue, and light green, and switched the ribbon around in the burgandy, blue, and green. I like them a lot. I also used real sand on the bottom of the palm tree. ~~

Where did you get that from? Did you make it yourself? I love it and I have been looking for something similiar to that for months. I know that I'm asking in the wrong area, but I'm so new here that I'm still wet behind the ears. Thanks!!!! ~~

I think I'll stick to the teal, though, especially after this thread... maybe it will stop me from going overboard with purchases... lol Hmmmm.... I haven't looked that much at them, but I'm looking at those ones too, or the Gusett Non Woven Tote, or the smaller, 8x8 gift bags. However, we are adding more items to our OOT, coasters, wine charms, flashlight, and that is just to start. So, those small bags might be too small. What are you putting in them? Oh, and what does OOT mean? LoL. ~~

We are going to go for the flashlights too. My fiance used ones that looked just like these, from cheaptotes.com, in Australia and he says that they work very well. Plus, as he says, "Everyone can always use flashlights." I think it's a guy thing, but it is a good idea. ~~

Good luck with customer service. Let us know what happens. Hi, Just wondering which teal cheaptotes you bought. We are looking at some of the cheaptotes. Have you gotten them already? Plus, to the original poster, I would call them back, that is not what the picture says it is. ~~

I have no idea what to put in our guests' "goodie-bags." I don't want it to be too expensive, I'm thinking that our budget for this will be around $500 to $800 and we are expecting between 50-70 people to come. We just sent out our save-the-dates. Anyway, this is what I had thought so far: -beach bag -booze from Mexico Oh, and I have no problem with taking stuff down with me, considering that I want to have an empty suitcase for all the fun things I buy down there. Haha, that's it. I suck at this. ~~

This is our first choice two, but for Febraury. However, we are planning on taking a photographer from home, and paying for her stay there. Do you think that they would have anything against that? ~~

I made our save-the-dates and am in the process of making my invitations. I'm so happy that I decided to make our own. ~~

Hello, I'm searching and searching the resorts and have norrowed my selection down to less than 10 that we are considering. I would like to know: 1) What resort are you getting married at? 2) What made you decide those? 3) When is your wedding? 4) Did you have a hard time choosing too? Thanks!!!! ~~

We are thinking about getting married here for Feb. 2009. It's number one on our list, with Dreams Tulum being number two. The biggest downfall that we have with Occisental is that the beach is so small. What do you all think? Any thoughts on it? ~~

Hello everyone, My name is Heather and we are planning a Mayan Riviera wedding for around Feb. 7th, 2009. I'm 24, and my fiance Francis, he is 30. We both live in Saskatchewan Canada. I'm torn between a few of the resorts, but I'm thinking that it will probably be at the Occidental Grand Xcaret, but I'm not to certain, the biggest downfall would be that it has a small beach. Any suggestions would help!!!! ~~
