  14. happy wednesday evening ladies, susie it is soo good of you for the invite.sounds good to me,even better if we can come when it is warm we will be able to top up the tan hehe.we will entertain missy fit for.can you think of anything that we may forget to pack?(seeing as you have done yours)lol.good news about the house selling.do you have many properties?do you just work on them then sell?we should have done that with ours but i did,nt want to move out after all the hard work.we need out loft insulating,boarding and loft ladders putting in.you could all come to mine and you could sort that for me lol. in the stupid pot i will put in staff who call in work when it snows. vdaybride,big hug coming your way too.hopefully we will find a way to meet in mexico so i can give you a real one.im going to google it now. brooke,hope you have a nice trip dont stay away too long. krista,you just reminded me i want to print the packing list thread thing so i have something to go by.
  15. nic, i know you have found us now and im guessing the other questions are answered but just in case. legal - if you have a leagal wedding yes it is legal in uk but you wont get your original wedding certificate for 6-8mths but you will be given i copy. blood test-this will be included in the wedding package price and you got to the sister hotel up the road (a very short walk) for them.the wc will arrange an appointment for you.nothing for you to worry about. i think we have answered the others on the thread.i bet you cant believe you came across this forum now lol.
  16. he will calm down dont worry with it being regarding the wedding he wont care in a few days.he can still do something formal to tell them all together?
  17. sorry may be me being silly but your wedding is 3mths away (march) and your rsvp cut off is march 21st is this right? im sure now the holidays are over and done with people will start coming forward and book.please keep breathing believe me it will work out
  18. exciting for you.all stores are different but i do know with myself and past brides that if they are doing the alterations then they will keep it how ever long.just speak to them and ask them im sure they will store it for you.

I have a few things on my list, like shoes, jewlery, my FI's suit or a casual shirt with nice khakis, makeup, OOT Bags, and Favors...we are doing M&Ms with our names on them and Green Apple Candles with a little leaf tag that has our names and a date... (I love apple martinis) ... Hmm if you can think of anything else I am missing let me know...oh and Susie...you are NOT old I am fabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbulously 42 :-) I still have these bleep bleeping people asking me to look up flights...I am ignoring them... let them do it on there own..or they wont be coming..my best friend... cant even do this herself.. and when I do find her flights and hotels.. that are cheaper...she finds something wrong with them! so UGH!! I told my FI last night I dont give a rats if nobody shows up!!! Its always about me and him... so, what difference does it make now! They are driving me to drink!! Anyways, hope all is well with all of you and if you think of anything I missed please let me know! Thanks!!! Kim well done you.you have the right attitude.i love the sound of your invites good idea. good job on the list but time will go quickly so you need to put dates next to each one so you know when you need to get them done by. my last list done don,t have much at all.my mission this weekend is get the music on cd,s.

Do y'all know what info the resort is going to need to know about my guests so I can be sure to ask it on the response cards (I know they want to know where everyone is staying but is there anything else?) Does anyone have an example of what their response cards said (should I ask airline?) Thanks! give me your email address and i will send you the paperwork that i had to fill out.
  24. Quote: Originally Posted by Raykel Hi Tinkatude! Welcome and I hope some of our thigs on here can help you out! I agree with Vday Bride and Susie....it is your day. You can only do so much to accomodate other people and you know what? IT IS NOT THEIR DAY! If they don't want to go to Mexico and get a great week long vacation plus attend your wedding - their problem, not yours. Just think...the people who care the most about you and that you will likely have the most fun with - they will be there. For those who genuinely cannot make it due to expenses...then you have some sort of reception when you get home. They will not be the naysayers - they will be the ones telling you they wished they could come. We did not do Save the Dates, but from engagement to wedding is....5 months. So we got our TA to put it all together and we made a powerpoint/PDF that was our initial invite. Those were emailed out to everyone along with a personal note from us letting people know the more formal invites would follow but we really wanted the info out so people had a heads up. Honestly my TA was surprised...she has never had 32 people book within 4 days before! There happened to be a seat sale when we sent our stuff out so everyone wanted to jump on it. That might be something to consider with the time you have.....if you have a good TA, have him/her watch for sales - and you too - and then when there is a good one, send that info out to people. Really you are giving them a years notice, that is lots of time to save if they want to come. Good luck! Susie you are so right about the bouquets......I have the sample one er here now, so hoping by the end of the week I have it in my hot little hands (ok at just short of 6 feet tall not so little hands). Luckily the lady who is making them if all goes according to plan is only 3 hours from here and has said it does not usually take her long to make them but some people place orders 3 days before a wedding and think because they are not real flowers they can just be whipped up. I am hoping that I can relax on this one...I know what I want, I just need to see the samples to make sure I am happy with the real touch. So of course we go to work on ordering the travel mugs yesterday....and in Canada these are ridiculous! On line from discount we can order the same mugs we found here - with printing etc on them - shipping and the exchange makes them less than $5 CAD. Those same (and I mean exact) mugs are $14 here plus set up fees! What on earth am I missing. Does it not seem ridiculous to order something out of Florida and pay 1/3 of the price? One more grump.....so you know how I did not know if maybe I should order a few extras for late bookers....now FI thinks we may have up to 20 of them!!! I am happy they want to come, but no emails or phone calls to let us know...just word of mouth that has gotten back to FI. So do I order another whole set of table take aways and make extra oot bags...all for potentially nothing? I would rather have more than not enough, but I also don't want 10-15 of these things for us to keep afterwards! Argh...... On that note...off we go for another day of running around. Hope you guys all have a good day:) can you not start a thread asking for someone to accept the order for you from wherever they are cheaper then pay them to ship them for you? i get where your coming from on the word of mouth thing but i would speak to them people and make sure they are booked before you go buying lots more things.its alot more expense and stress for you if they have no intention on actually booking?
