I like it! I agree with Abbie - give it to them before you leave

So we have our Catholic Marriage retreat this coming weekend and I'm nervous - I guess because I don't really know what to expect...it is Friday to Sunday (2 days, 2 nights) at this local Mission and I have to share a room with some random girl. My friend told me that 4 of the couples left her retreat because they decided they were not ready to get married...crazy! I mean - how intense is this thing TIA!!

Welcome new ladies

Good luck Des!!!

Just wanted to update you girls because I found a great sarong seller on ebay. I just bought 10 for $35 with shipping included for my bridesmaids - he has a lot of 100 for $260 - that is inly $2.60 each! Thought some of you girls may want to get in on it like the pashmina discount because it is a great discount: Wholesale Lot of 100 Batik Sarongs Pareos Wraps - eBay (item 140318766035 end time May-11-09 20:31:59 PDT)

I think we're getting our mom's embroidered waffle robes from Smarty Pants Boutique and a pashmina. For the dad's - I have no idea??

Happy Mother's Day Abbie and all the other mommies!

Have a great one Jac!!!

thanks Ash

Everything looks great Mel!

yeah I like girls picking their own dresses also - I think you have to have something in common with each. Anarecently had her girls pick their own dresses - she had a review recently if you can find it - they all looked great - I want to say she had everyone choose a silk dress of their choice?

Actually Cabo can be humid in the summer

I would go with Maui, Kauai, or North Shore of Oahu Maui and Kauai are beautiful - I feel like there is more to do in Maui And FI and I were considering Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore of Oahu because we stayed there a couple years ago and fell in love with it

Can I ask why you picked PV over Cabo? yeah, Dreams Cabo was too expensive for my guests in November which was my main reason - I couldn't make them spend $400 a night to attend my wedding, I just felt too bad...Dreams PV was only $220 per night for the least expensive room (this is all double occupancy)...Dreams Cabo is gorgeous though - hopefully we will like PV just as much as we have never been. Also, I wanted to use an outside wedding coordinator to handle everything for me - I got a much better price for an amazing coordinator in PV - the whole wedding in Cabo with a coordinator would have been about $5K more for what I wanted. P.S. I think Ana's right, I think it is closer to $29 this year not $39 - not positive though

very nice! so far I've ordered these clutches but haven't received them yet: Handmade Weddings on Etsy - Georgia silver/lime satin clutch by EmmaGordonLondon I got them in gray with a pale yellow flower though to match their bm dresses - she gives a great quantity discount and is awesome to work with

I'm trying to remember where I stayed a few years ago - it was right on Bourbon Street
