We had 42 guests and I found that was more than enough! It was perfect, for us

Wow, that's horrible! Good for you for keeping all of your confirmations. THis was obviously their fault and they need to make it right!

Everthing looks amazing! I love your ring, it's very beautiful

Wow, you are so talented! Everything looks amazing! Have a wonderful wedding!!

I had the same experience as Nicole. If you are legally married outside of Canada, your marriage is automatically recognized here. What you have to do is have your foreign marriage certificate translated into English and certified by a certified translator. I'm from Ontario and used a translator from The Association of Translators and Interpreters of Ontario (ATIO), in particular: Florinda Lages, ATIO Certified Translator, M.A., B.A. Portuguese-English / Spanish-English / French-English 11 Rothsay Ave. Toronto, ON M8Z 4L9 Tel.: 416-201-0390 Cell: 416-318-3792 Anyone at ATIO can do this for you and it only cost around $50. Here is the link to their site: ATIO - Association of Translators and Interpreters of Ontario - Directory Search Some brides have been able to use their original, untranslated, marriage licence to change their name, but I couldn't. I started at the Ministry of Transportation to change my driver's licence and they refused to accept it. That's when I contacted ATIO. Hope this helps - there are also other threads on this topic which go into further detail.

Well that's a new one! I agree - tacky as hell!

THey look so professional! Great job, you both deserve to be proud of your hard work!

Great job! Your guests are going to love them!

Wow, wow, wow. Let me say that one more time ... WOW. Your pictures are unbelievable. I only wish mine were even 1/10th as beautiful as yours!

Congratulations! Your pictures turned out great -- what a beautiful bride you were!

The style of the dress looks great on you, and the fact that it's "beachy" is a bonus. If you're happy with it, snap it up!

Great pics! thanks for sharing

I like the idea of the bottle vs. the travel mug for a cruise wedding. I think your guests will get much more use of it than a mug. They turned out nice too!

Congrats! Great review!

A few of our attending guests did give us monetary gifts, even though we made it clear from the start that we were grateful they came and that was all the gift we needed. Some people will do what they want anyway!

Fantastic job! Good luck with the wedding and remember to have fun too!

I had to laugh when I read your comment about the early stages of menopause! It's possible she's edgy because of that, but as a mom myself, I would probably put it down to the fact that your date is still far off, and she probably just didn't feel the urgency that you do right now. I'm glad that you were able to work it out and that you both understand there were hurt feelings on both sides. Oh, and BTW, that dress is gorgeous. Good for you for finding it on sale too!

Everything looks great and you're so well prepared! Have a wonderful wedding and enjoy your time off!

Congrats! Looking forward to seeing your pictures

We faced this dilemma too, and especially since this was a second marriage for both us we already had two of everything. But, there were still plenty of people who couldn't join us at our DW and we didn't want or plan an AHR, so we bowed to the pressure and registered. Personally, if I'm invited to a wedding shower, I prefer it when the couple has registered because then you know you are giving them something they truly need (or simply just want).

If she did a good job for you, and especially if she went above and beyond what was expected of her, then I would give a tip. From what I've read on here it averages from $50 - $200.

Two great ideas! THanks for sharing with the b2bs!

First, congrats on losing weight! Second, your seamstress is so unprofessional, but that said, I would be careful before taking them somewhere else unless you can be 100% sure the new seamstress can deliver as promised. If you can't find a new seamstress, then for sure dropping in on her unexpectedly would be the best thing as that will put pressure on her to finish them.

That is so cute!
