very cute.

This is great! im going to order them now. i think you can even insert the vistaprint business cards in them.

beautiful dress

i think etsy is your best bet and you should be able to find something reasonable.

yeah thats how i justify my spending too. the FI just doesn't understand

I always love getting a good deal on stuff. I found this website called Groupon that has daily deals on different things ranging from facials, massages, photography sessions, etc. I purchased my engagement photo session for $40. I purchased discounted facials for $40 and I purchased a 6 treatment of laser hair removal for $50. if you would like to sign up to receive the daily deals, click on the link below. Groupon Deal of the Day: Find Great Deals on Fun Things to Do in Chicago I suggest you sign up for mulitple cities because sometimes the daily deals are for things that you can purchase online, so you don't have to live in the area. I will try to post things I find that would be good for brides and moms to be. Today's deal for Atlanta is a $45 Canvas Photo. I think this would be great for wedding pic, engagement pic, boudair pic, and baby pic. Here is the link to the offer It expires on Oct 2010. $45 for One 16"x20" Gallery-Wrapped Canvas Including Shipping and Handling from Canvas on Demand ($126.95 Value) Canvas On Demand Deal of the Day | Groupon Atlanta I also found these rollable flats that may be good for bridesmaid gift or shoes to change into for the reception. here is the link: $8 for One Pair of Rollable Flats from 3 Sekonds Inc. ($19.99 Value) 3 sekonds Deal of the Day | Groupon Washington DC happy shoping & saving!

hi salime.. i am also getting married at PPR. As tracy said they are not accomodating with group rates, but I did end of finding a really good rate in march. the rate was $115 per person per night for the reserve 1 bedroom suite. i booked this through vacation express. they are a wholesaler that I found out about through another bride on this forum. if you are interested, please PM. They have the same rates as orbitz etc, but they allow you to make a deposit instead of paying in full. i still have alot of guest that have not booked so they are looking through the sites for good deals. the deal right now on PPR is 200 per night per person. however, PPR is apart of timeshares. If any guests are interested in sitting through a 90 minute presentation, they can book a room for a lower rate. some of my guests are doing that and they are paying $123 per night person. again PM if you are interested in the information on the timeshare. happy planning tracy: thanks for the info on luxury link. im going to look into that also

I'm excited! I've read good reviews about this place so hopefully it will all work out well. meli, what package were you planning to go with at ppc if you were having your reception there? i haven't done all of the calculation yet, but im not sure how jellyfish would be less expensive. they charge for decorating, transporation, and then food. are you doing a dinner reception or appetizers? i need to run my numbers to see if its cheaper. i do like the no time limit. what are you doing to after dinner? will the guest stay their to dance, etc?

yeah i would like to know if anyone has used it for their wedding. I am thinking about buying it this weekend to use at my birthday party and then use for the wedding. How do you charge the sound dock?

also check preownedweddingdresses.com they have alot of dresses and the search function is better.

Like I said, by the time next year rolls around I'm going to have enough dresses and shoes for 3 weddings. I hope Tyler isn't taking inventory on the number of packages that show up to the house! NJ Hunnie - That lace overlay on your dress is fabulous! Is there sparkle in the material too? Looks good! And it is actually very flattering on you. Makes your waist look great! I've got a bust and some hips on me and I have come to really love clothes that give you a shape (hourglass that is!) thanks that is definitely the look i was trying to go for... now i need some chic shoes to go with it.. ive been looking at the ones you posted. my colors are fuschia, purple, and orange so im thinking fuschia pumps with bling on the front

i like the jasmine dress but if you are going to do a ivory sash then i would go with the davids bridal. I think a sash should stand out if you are going to wear one. with the davids you wont have to add anything. good luck. either choice will be beautiful

thanks. i figured there are were cenotes in DR, but im loving the ttd pics in the cenote. makes we want to change my wedding location just for these pics... ha ha. or maybe we will honeymoon there... we brides have so many options, especially from this site.

I finally decided on my dress. This is the dress I really wanted but i was undecisive b/c it was kinda out of my budget. However, i guess it was meant for me to get this dress because i was able to negotiate with the salon for a good price on the sample dress. I cant believe dress shopping is over. I actually enjoyed shopping for dresses. I had fun shopping now im off to shopping for my ttd dress and my bridesmaid dresses. wish me luck! http://i783.photobucket.com/albums/y...amonakback.jpg

ayita, How did you play the music? Did you download the software to your ipod or an mp3 player and hook it up to a speaker?

thanks but i wasnt planning to go with the resort photographer. i have been looking around for a couple of photographers
