Welcome to the forum Regan! Sorry to hear that your original plans were ruined because of swine flu, I'm sure you'll have an amazing time at Iberostar Rose Hall Beach. Hope your wedding is perfect, can't wait to see pictures when you return!
Welcome to the forum Danielle! Don't worry, May 2011 will be here before you know it (I know, I've waited almost 2 years to get married!) Best of luck with your planning!!
How annoying!! My FMIL didn't want to return her RSVP card because she "wanted to save it"...yeah, and I want to keep the returned RSVP cards! Good luck with the phone calling, hopefully the remaining RSVPs are just delayed in the mail.
OMG you must have died when your FMIL emailed you the picture!! I'm glad to hear that your FH said he would talk to his mom without your asking, it probably takes a lot of stress out of the situation. Hopefully her dress isn't as bridal as the picture sounds and everything works out for you.
Oh no, that is horrible!! As Nikki07 said - good thing it isn't your wedding!! I have a fear that I'll break something just prior to my wedding, scary thought! Hope your doctor removes your cast before you go!!
I love the swine quote, it would be fun if you were able to get the personalized koozies done in time!
What about getting your FH a money clip engraved with his initials? You could stick a card in it with something about "for richer or poorer"...
I agree with previous posters, asking for money directly in your invitation is not exactly the greatest, can you tell your parents and in-laws your wishes and have them spread your request by word of mouth?
