Hi Girls,

I just wanted to inform you all about some info I received from our baggage handler a couple weeks ago. While we were checking our bags in, our handler told us to make sure to put on your tags the following information ONLY:

Your Name

Sail Date

Cabin Number

Ship Name

Apparently some of the shadier handlers will use information on your luggage tags such as your address and phone number to rob you while you are on vacation!

He said there was a poor old lady that would come to the port every Sunday to protest, because Carnival said they were not responsible, and they cleaned her out! Just wanted to pass this information on, because it's so important! Needless to say, we spent an extra 10 minutes making sure we took off all of this info from our bags. If this helps one person, then I feel a lot better!

I'm one of those that keeps buying stuff too! I've already bought them their jewelry sets, but now I don't think it really goes with their dresses & shoes. I bought them all diamond circle necklaces with circle cz earings. Maybe I'll just give them anyways, and not expect them to wear for the wedding.

I've spent about $100 each on each BM, not including the thank you drag queen brunch I took them to, which wasn't cheap. But hey, like a previous poster said, we're saving so much on our DW's as it is, it's hard not to justify spending a little more on those that are important to you. My fi keeps asking me, "How much stuff do you intend to bring?".

oopps... here is the link to see the mugs...

I would prefer to keep all the blue ones, but it doesn't really matter to me.

Hi Girls!

I wanted to get the travel mugs for our cruise wedding, but I only need about 26. Would anyone be interested in buying the 22 I will have left over? I'm asking what I paid - .65 and I'll see what I can do to get a discount for you on shipping. (Through my work.) Good deal, if this is all you want from this site (minimum order is $50).

Let me know if anyone is interested, and I will place the order!

Thanks Ladies!

Ooohh, thanks for the link- this is what I was looking for- thanks ladies for helping out a n newbie!

Hi Kimberly!

I'm emailing you now!

Hi Girls,

I was just curious how many of you have registered for formal dinnerware? I'm going back and forth deciding if I should register for it or not. My fi and I live in a tiny condo by the beach, and we really don't need any gifts, let alone something I might only bust out every once in a while.

Just wanted some other destination bride's opinions.

TIA!

Weird, when I went to the site with the link provided, it didn't tell me that. Maybe my browser did something weird when I cut and pasted it. Sorry for any miscommunication- that's the last thing I want to do on here!

Thanks for correcting me!

Hey,

I was just on this website, and it looks like they changed their policy. You have to buy $1500 worth of products now. Boo, I really wanted to get these. Does anyone have another source, I only need about 30 of them for a cruise wedding. I've been looking, but haven't found yet, so I thought I would ask the masters!

Thanks!

I just PM'd you. I'm interested if they are still available?

Thanks!

I always forget about Oriental- thanks for the reminder!!

Hi Ladies,

I have for sale 16 seashell ceramic candle holders for sale. I bought these for my cruise wedding, but I have since changed my theme and no longer need these. Would like to pass on to another bride! I'm asking $20 for all -originally paid over $40 with shipping (brand new, still in original box & wrapping), and I will include free shipping. I'm not sure how to post pics, but if you send me an email at holliegmf at yahoo.com, I'll send you a few I have.

Thanks so much!

Hollie

Hi Ladies!

I just wanted to say hi and properly introduce myself. I'm Hollie & I'm planning a cruise wedding aboard the Carnival Splendor on October 25, 2009. We have also invited all of our family and friends to join us on our honeymoon. We will be on a 7 day cruise to the Mexican Riviera leaving out of my hometown, Long Beach.

I'm very excited to get to meet all of you, and good luck to all of you on your planning! Thank you to all of you who post on here, the information you provide is invaluable!

Hollie
