  1. Both of the above are great suggestions. I guess it really depends on how many guests are going.
  2. Super cute! I love the colour... and your baby bump is just adorable! Congrats!!!
  3. everything looks fantastic! thanks for sharing all of it... I snagged a couple of pics for my inspiration binder! Great job!
  4. That is an awesome surprise! Happy Birthday!!!
  5. Here is a list that I have compiled from a bunch of different spots. I did this when FI and I thought that we were going to be involved in the planning of our Stag and Doe (these are really popular where I live) Then.. our Bridal Party decided that we weren't involved... and it is a surprise..... I can't wait for ours! Tons of ideas available at this website: Free Bridal Shower Games Ideas Stag and Doe //Jack and Jill // Buck and Doe 1.What couple raises most money... other gets a pie in the face - Towards the end of the night there was a Pie in the Face (there were buckets at the bar "save the bride" or "save the groom" - whoever had less got pied by the other. Of course i had more money, but was blindfolded and discovered they gave him one as well. Needless to say it was hilarious! 2.Black jack 3.Crown & Anchor 4.50/50 draws 5.There's another one, I don't know the name of it, but you basically glue a shot glass into the bottom of a Culligan bottle and fill it with water and people try to get money into the shot glass... whoever does wins a prize! 6.Guess the # on the $50 7.Lottery ticket board (This was one of the most popular games... all the tickets were donated! By family members) 8.Bean bag toss 9.Keys (there was a box w/ a lock on it - you bought a key and if your key opened the box you got the prize - it was 2 Jays tickets!) 10.Door Prize (for 2 Indy passes - seats and pit passes) 11.Toonie Toss (slide your toonie to the bottle - closest wins) - toonie toss at (a bottle of Crown Royal) 12.sold raffle tickets for 2 FC soccer games and gave away raffle prizes for wristbands and such. (A Keg dinner certificate, Canada's Wonderland tickets, movie tickets, Yuk-Yuk tickets, etc) 13.Our biggest money maker (I think) was a wheelbarrow full of booze - $10/ticket, or 3 for $20. There was 4 bottles of wine, 26ers of rye, gin, vodka, peach schnapps, and rum, along with 8 tall boys of beer - about $250 worth of booze. They didn't get to keep the wheelbarrow though (some people were upset about this). 14.Make sure you have jello shooters, sell them for $1 people always buy tons of those, you can't have too many. Get tropical flavours like pineapple and mango and stuff, that way it will go with your theme. 15.There is that game where you tape a deck of cards on a Bristol board face down and ask people to write their names on the card and whoever finds the Jack of Spades wins half the money. I think its usually $2 a card, people will play for a toonie and then its free money, you just pay for the deck of cards and the Bristol board. Keep it at the door or where people are buying drink tickets, because then they already have their money out and will just do it. 16.The Great Canadian Whack Off is hilarious. The Groom's father organized this, (great sport) he brought in a tree stump, and a small little hammer and a whole pack of long nails. You keep a board with peoples names and how many times they 'whacked' the nail to get it in. A lot of guys battled this one out all night. I was the only girl that tried it. I think hitting it 40 times scared a lot of girls. haha. My advice, if you think girls will participate, have two separate score boards, one for guys and one for girls. The guy that won at the end of the night hit the nail 4 times (really made my 40 look bad.. haha) I think we charged $2 or $3 a whack. =) Note on the success of S&D’s Many of the comments are just cut and pasted from other brides... I think this is a great list!
  6. That is a Fantastic Review! I am so happy you had such a wonderful time... your photos are amazing! Congratulations!!!!
  7. YARI! Have a fantastic time... we can't wait to hear all about it!!!!
  8. Well ladies, Wedding planning is moving forward this week. Travel mugs ordered!!!! http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t29982 Wedding Bands are being picked up tomorrow! http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t29973 Tomorrow FI and I are going to figure out his attire and choose the groomsman's pants. FI is going to wear dress pants in grey - with a suit jacket. Shirts (guayaberas) have already been purchased for FI and the groomsman. The groomsman will be wearing matching pants to FI's but no jackets. Moving forward ladies... moving forward!
  9. Shelly! Happy to hear that you are at home and on the mend... cheers to a speedy recovery!
  10. Congrats Kris!!! It is perfect for your e-ring... which is gorgeous i might add!!
  11. In my honest opinion... it is a pinch genius... but a BOAT LOAD TACKY! I mean.. "hey, this round of bowling is brought to you by.... bride and groom!" wowzers.
  12. I personally love #2... especially if you are talll.. only a tall girl could pull that style off!
  13. Ok... So just when you think you've heard it all.... Welcome To Our Wedding Site Someone is looking to have corporate sponsorship for their wedding? I hope no one knows these people... I just think that is strange... Has anyone else heard of this?
  14. How exciting!!! Countdown is on! Try to eat something though... you don't wanna get run down before you get there!
  15. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I am so sorry.
  16. Tara, Why don't you plant a seed with Joe's friend (or Joe to relay), that you are both really excited for them and that it could be cool if they were engaged before they went to the wedding, then they'd have some time to themselves during their trip to celebrate together..... Drop some fun ideas on how he could give her the ring... 1. buy her a bikini or a cute lingerie item and tie it to one of the strings or ribbons? 2. give her one of those waterproof ocean containers as an item to take on the trip.... where the ring is inside.... something like that... I don't like the idea at the end of the trip... or the beginning... This girl has waited a long time for this ring (probably) and deserves her own story... but I understand why he wants to celebrate his love on the trip....
  17. How cute... what a great smile in my day!
