I truly believe that it is inappropriate to expect anyone who is not invited to the wedding to be expected to attend other pre-wedding functions, including showers, engagement parties, bachelorette parties, stag and does, etc. (in my opinion, the only exception is an office/work hosted celebration-shower). I also agree with Amarillis. I personally would just have a small shower with those that are invited to the wedding. I just would not want the possibility of anyone thinking it is a gift grabbing invite. You can still enjoy the shower experience regardless of the number of guests. You can celebrate with the others at your AHR.

The restaurants are a bit slow even though they are only at 30% occupancy right now, but the food is great. It doesn't come out piping hot like I think one review said, but I only just realized that because I remember it in a review. I never thought about it at the restaurant bc the food tasted so freaking good! I met with Jacy last night and she is so freaking nice! For everything that I said that I brought, she basically just said leave it together for me to pick up and I will take care of it. I haven't gone into the gift shop yet. I am walking up to the marina today and will keep a look out for little tequilla bottles. When I met with Jacy she showed me all the locations for the reception. Basically what I saw is the beach spot. She said they would open up the bar next to it for our service. She didn not mention an extra cost. The was the deck of the Portofino Restautant. For the wedding, you can only use it if its closed, but they are setting up tables for us for our Rehearsal Dinner there for free. She also shower me the Banquet Hall. It was okay. I will post some pics later. YAY! You are there! Thanks for taking the time to post. So happy to hear that all is going well for you. So they are setting up tables for rehearsal dinner for you in the restaurant w/o any charge? Is this only because the occupancy rate is so low? I am so unsure what we are going to do about rehearsal dinner b/c I was hoping not to incur more costs for that. Thanks again for your "live" post. Can't wait to hear more and see pics! HAVE A GREAT TIME BIANCA!!!! __________________

Thanks ladies! Another plus size gal here. This is such a great thread. I am on the hunt for swimsuits right now also. Thanks for all the links and suggestions.

And I am so done with Jeff. They should all get into a car accident and die. Adam can drive the car, cause he is trying to get away and because he is partially blind he will hit the car that Gloria and Jeff are in and they all die in a head on collision! Okay, that one made me laugh out loud.

My daughter went through almost the exact same situation.She asked FH's sister to be Matron of Honor to keep the peace and extend a friendly hand to his side of the family rather than asking her closest friend (who is her cousin). After many issues, she also was very unhappy. It sucked not having a close confidante during the planning process. DD ended up asking her cousin to be Maid of Honor (thus having 2 honor attendants). This was the one who picked up all the slack and was my DD's lifesaver. Sorry I got so longwinded. The point I am getting to is maybe you could ask someone close to you to also be MOH and have two. You would then not alienate anyone but also have someone you like and are closer to by your side. Best wishes with whatever you decide.

Very cute! What a great idea. Your guests will love them!
