Okay, here they are! The total for 50 of them and shipping was $59! He has a website: Blank but he also is on ebay, which is where I got mine from. I highly recommend using him if you want koozies in a small quantity!

Does anyone have any other suggestions, of places that will do a good job, be willing to do 50 rather than 100 and have a good color variety? Thanks to all the previous koozie-buyers for your expertise.. TGIF Oooh Oooh.. I do!!! I got mine through ebay. The guy was awesome! I sent him a pic of the flower that has been on all of my wedding stuff (STD, invites, newsletters, etc..) and gave him verbiage and sent me a proof within a few days. He was great at emailing me and we went back and forth (because I wanted a few more than I originally 'won' on the auction). I will have to look it up and see what his ebay store was so let me know if you're interested. If you are, PM me because I'm forgetful. I can also take pics of the final product... they are super cute and I know that everyone will LOVE them!!!

This is where I will be spending most of my time!!! Thanks mummergirl! You made my day!! Quote: Originally Posted by mummergirl Why hasn't anyone mentioned these? Swings at the bar?!! I LOVE IT! Does anyone have photos of the ocean trampoline or the bungy thing? Or how about photos from shows/entertainment at Dreams? Everyone keeps saying how there's "so much to do" at Dreams but all I ever see pictures of is the tiny infinity pool. Also, we booked the Preferred Club (tower) Jr. Jacuzzi Suite ... anyone have photos of these suites?

It's actually pretty hilarious that she did this. That is great!! Thanks for posting!! Did anyone ever tell you that your hubby looks like Tito Ortiz?!!

For those of you who have been to dreams, I need you! Instead of having a welcome party (and paying $10 pp), I'm just going to do 'welcome cocktails' and have our guests all meet at a bar and drink together. I want to put the info in my newsletter that I'm sending out but without being at the resort, I'm not sure what bar would be best. We have about 40 people coming so it would need to be a pretty spacious place. Any ideas?

I saw that but I can't grab it and pull it into a document. Anyone know how to do that and can send it to me?

We got our guys nice adidas sandals. They were only like $25 on the website. I'm hoping that they'll like them. The only thing is, you either have to tell them or just casually find out their shoe size. ps. I love your dog kev!

I love cheating the system!

Your bags kick my bags butt I'm going shopping!!

Does anyone have a resort map for Dreams Cancun? I would like to put one in people's welcome letters so they can navigate between the restaurants and stuff. I've searched all the threads but can't come up with anything specific to the resort? Thanks!

My dad died when i was young and basically my mom raised my brother and i with the help of my grandparents. My grandpa is coming to the wedding and walking me down the aisle (my gram passed away last year) and i wanted to do a grandfather/granddaughter dance instead of a daddy/daughter dance. I am having the hardest time picking out a song though... I don't want anything too daddy cheesy or lame but it has to be slow because he's getting old... any ideas? So far I have come up with 'When I needed you most' but I really don't like the version by Kimaya Seward so if anyone has another version or wants to tape themselves singing .... Or Kaysarra because it was my grandma's favorite song... but that my make him cry and i don't want him to be sad...

Same here! WTF!! I just counted everyone that didn't respond as a no. Damn stamp wasters. Anyway, I'm in the same boat as you Amanda on the whole evite situation. We are doing a casual drinks and appetizers one night at a local restaurant/bar and can only invite 75 people because of the capacity rule. I'm thinking that Evite is the way to go because our wedding guests have already gotten an STD, and invite and a shower invite from my MOH. Too much stuff to keep track of so I figure that I'll throw them off with an email. I will probably have to send out a few for the older guests but since most of our invitees are young and internet savvy, they'll appreciate not having to run to the mailbox (aka they are lazy!). Here's hoping!!

Wow... I better get in gear. I've been procrastinating big time! Thanks so much for your advice... I really appreciate it!

For anyone married at Dreams before, here's a question that I've been pondering. How busy are you the days before the ceremony? We are not doing the legal ceremony so won't need blood tests or anything but we also haven't really planned much so far and still will need to make a lot of decisions once we get there. We want to plan an excursion with our guests either Friday or Saturday (we are getting married on Sunday) but I'm kinda hesitant to plan something when I don't really know what my schedule will be like once I'm there. Any advice?

Okay, this is the second post where I didn't even know what the item was! Gocco Printer??! Anyway, I'm learning new things everyday from this website. I am an ebay freak so I put it in there and found a whole bunch of options for you. Not sure if this link will work but i'm going to give it a shot: rattan chargers, Home Garden items on eBay.com

Thanks guys! Would never have thought of going to Michaels! Sweet!

So I am making my own little personalized wedding tins like this: Personalized Wedding Tins With Mints but I can't find any of those little stupid mints to put in them. It seems that they only sell them WITH the tins. HELP! Sorry, I know this is dumb but its really ticking me off!!

HI M&L! Welcome to the forum. There are quite a few non BP/Passport invitations posted on the site. You just kinda have to search. I went with the Boarding Pass for the STD but then I did my own thing for the invites. Here is a link if you are interested: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t20790 I highly recommend using them! Gwen was really great to work with! If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me! Happy Planning!

Quote: Originally Posted by portugirl8 i love your templates. Did you do them yourself? they look professionally done. If so then how much did you pay and who did you contract? Ha!! I am SO not a creative one!! Gwen at .:Hitched Invites-Custom & Pre-Made Wedding Invitations. Invitations. Inspired:. did them. She is on this site somewhere!! She was really reasonable (I honestly don't remember how much I paid... maybe thats on one of these threads too!!) A few other girls on here have used her too so maybe they know how much.... If you contact her, she will give you a quote based on what you want (it varies because of colors and type of paper and stuff i think) I think that she is doing a deal for people who reference this site... maybe that was last month... I don't remember! Just check out her site and then email her.. she's really great!! Good luck!

Youre such a peach Tami!!! I just read through this thread (a bit too late) and you are so generous!! Since there a ton of people asking for stuff that is already gone, can you give an update of what you still have available? That may help reduce the chaos!!
