  1. My fiance is wearing Tommy Bahama's too but we had such a hard time finding it cheap here. At the retail stores the shirts were 138.00 and the pants were 160. Yikes.

     

    I am planning on having my reception on the beach. I think. I am not sure how it works for receptions with the restaurants. I think you can only have them there free if the hotel is under a certain capacity otherwise there is a fee. So weather permitting we will be having ours on the beach. yes it is close, I have been emailing the resort this morning with questions and doing dry runs on the packing lol. Finishing off my welcome letter and going to put together the OH SHIT hangover kits lol and whatnot. I love these forums and another BDW bride is getting married two days later and flys out the same time so cant wait to meet her. Shout out to Janna hehe.

     

    Its super close. I cant wait.

  2. First off Congratulations. Thats awesome and hehe nope you have lots of time. Good for you for already having your dress and your bridesmaids dress. The resort from the sounds of things takes care of everything pretty much closer to the date. If you really want to do something you can plan an OOT bag and start putting those together. I still have to finish mine, 7 days to go. There are some great threads on them. Whats your honey wearing. I had such a hard time finding something beach casual for mine to wear. Again congrats and welcome to the DPA family.

I would love to go again but I'm too paranoid that I'd find a dress that I love more than the one I bought!

    Totally off topic...I do not consider myself to be any kind of crafty DIYer but I went the semi-DIY route for my invites and I'm looking for an inexpensive cardstock paper to mount my invites on. So far I've ruled out Michael's. Where else can I look? (See, SO not crafty. Don't even know where to buy paper!)
    Try a local scrapbook store and ask to see the Bazzil paper swatch books. They have all shades, pearlescent, metallic shimmer and it was cheap. I bought 100 sheets for less than 50 dollars. Then i got the local newspaper to do all the cutting for me. I did a triple mat. Black shimmer cardstock then tourquoise then the actual invite. They will most likely give you a great deal since your buying bulk. Mine did anyways.

    Hey how did your flowers turn out. I remember reading a post that your corsages or something were goofy and I think we used the same vendor. Got mine today and guess what. The corsages are goofy. Not ugly just large and goofy. Not what I had in mind at all. This is why people need proofs of everything not just the bouquets. How did yours finally turn out?

    Hi Katie, I would love to pass him on to you. Please contact me closer to your date if nobody requests him before you need him. Otherwise you will also need to contact the person before you. Glad that we are able to keep the little guy going.

    I hope he brought all good things to Jacqueline on her day and that Nicole enjoys the same luck. Congratulations Ladies. Wishing you both all the best on your married life. May you always be as happy as you were the day you got married.
    Just bumping our list so I know who I am passing him on too after I get home. Their is another BDW bride getting married at our resort two days after me so maybe she needs a borrowed blue too and then I can send it on to Dee. Very neat that two Dee's in a row.
  6. Hey Chickie, Sorry I couldnt get on all fricking night server back haul. The honeymoon package included is this

     

    Welcome letter

    Plate of tropical fruit

    One bottle of champagne

    Champagne breakfast in bed (Reservations must be made in advance with guest service)

    Special turn down Service

     

    Thats from jacy's email earlier today. HTH's.

     

    I booked my MAC trial for Friday yay but be honest ladies how much am I going to spend? Lol. So I tried three bridal boutiques on Tuesday and not one carried Alfred Angelo BM dresses so I am going to try to get to Bridal Centre on Friday morning. I dont want to have to go to Ethos and no idea where the Parisienne is. Those are the only three listed in Calgary as dealers.

     

    Got my flowers today. Bouquets are good the corsages are weird and the grooms bout was fugly. I will take a picture and post. It made no sense to me. So I am going to fix it up. But the rest was good.

     

    Got my Starfish in the mail from the starfish passing thread. Janna you could use it too for your borrowed and blue if you wanted while I am there. It came with a little journal and 4 different brides stories in it. Very cool. Its all coming together ladies. Hopefully the site wont be slow tomorrow and I can get on. TTFN

I just don't want any problems.

    And for past brides when they went through your stuff... did they mess everything up? I am soooo anal, and pack like I am playing Tetrus. LOL I remember back a month after 9/11 I flew to Vegas and on the way home while going through customs the officer asked if at any time did we leave our luggage unattended. I STUPIDLY said yes, with the hotel concierge... he went through everything right there in front of everyone incl. a plastic bag full of dirty underwear. huh.gif?


    I think that is the cutest thing I have ever heard a bride say on here. Good luck on your wedding in 9 days.
