I just ordered my mugs from Discount Mugs on the weekend - I ordered 32, there was a 10% off coupon so in total I paid $111 taxes and shipping included - I'm so excited, I ordered them blank and then I'm ordering the window decals from Vistaprint in transparent for the labels (got the idea from another gal on here, if anyone wants the thread she posted let me know and i'm sure I can find it!) Just wondering what the customs charges should be, but I'm figuring no more than $15 - $20.....I'll let you all know! Anyone thinking about ordering should sign up for the email so you can get the deals, the sales usually only last 2 or 3 days!

Ugh, sorry I guess that was a confusing comment!! I KNOW about the Bachelorette party this weekend!!and I'm going!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YAY YAY and YAY! and DID NOT know about the stripper...but we have talked about it just not on this forum, so it's not like I haven't commented on it!! My beliefs are pretty much the same as everyone else...it would have been murder!!!!!!!!!! Mel, so true with the difference between a stage and a personal one at home!

Hopefully no one gets bumped this time!! Just wanted to add Candice, my Date AND Resort twin!!!

I have 2 gals interested, so they are tentatively sold, I will post when they are gone for sure! and if they are still avail I'll contact those who have posted in order...to pm me, just click on my name and then click on "send a private message" in the drop down list. Thanks Ladies! )

Ladies....just wanted to post my thread about the 48 mugs I have for sale!! lol It would be much easier to sell these puppies to someone in Calgary!! Check the thread out: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...3/#post1209593 Thanks!!

I have been struggling with my decision for way too long, and now less than 2 months before my wedding, I have yet again Changed! My! Mind!! I now want to order different mugs from Discount Mugs, but can't until I get rid of all these!! FOR SALE: 48 printable/personalize-able plastic mugs, originally purchased at Dollarama for $1.25 CAD will sell for $1 CAD each, plus shipping if applicable! These are all brand new in 2 boxes of 24! Would prefer to sell here in Calgary, just because shipping will be kinda crazy! And if someone would like to buy the whole lot, I will throw in waterproof printable labels for laser printers (9 full sheets, so you can print whatever size label on them) for an extra $7, making total $55 CAD for all(I paid $28 for the labels alone, including shipping from the US but won't sell them without all 48 mugs going too!) These really are waterproof labels, I have ran direct water, and scrubbed with a dishcloth - must be printed with laser printer! PM me if anyone interested, the pic of the mugs is with a template I had made for the paper insert, they all come with an insert as a template for size and cutting.

I teased him after about it. lol. That's awesome, if you could check for me I would really appreciate it. I might have to buy more though because I will have about 35 OOT bags, depending on how many people come, and how many drop out on the deadline for the full payment... GULP... Hehe, really good to meet you guys too!!! Your Poor FI, he'll never do that again!! lol, totally bombarded with wedding banter! I prob have some extra as well, because as you know already, I have had a lot drop out, so I can do a count too and tell you what I have! I think you guys were talking about the first aid kits right?? I prob have extra hand sanitizer too...I'll let you know! And Thanks again!

Ok here's one for the girls struggling with weight issues.... Now with clothes on, sometimes I feel like: "Damn, I'm looking pretty good!" you know with new shoes and some makeup I can be bright and shiny like a new coin! But naked, or even close to naked...well lets just say I'm soooooo not there and at this point won't be by the time I get to mexico....this makes me pretty sad. But hopefully with enough Tequila I won't really care and I'll be shakin' it as if I look just like Beyonce! (btw, I can't dance a lick, but alcohol does bring the Beyonce out in me) So and there is one other dilemma....my dress...well, I may have to get a corset put in, because right now it's not zipping up very well, or I'll have to wear spanx - that'll be nice and attractive for our wedding night, I can see it now! Not to mention extremely HOT HOT HOT, like temperature hot, not looking forward to sweating, but I may loose a few pounds, lol. SO I'm basically screwed, I have been working my ass off at the gym with NO RESULTS. at first, I had lost 11 pounds but I think it found me again!! I effing hate my thyroid and it's lack of working ability...this is what I blame it all on!!!!!!!!!!! That's my rant for the evening - now please excuse me while I go take my oatmeal cookies out of the oven, they're for the baby I swear, and they do have raisins in them....and dark choco chips )

There were a few of us CDN's there that night and they made fun of us the entire night of course but it was all in great fun. The piano bar we have here in town isn't the greatest unfortunately otherwise I'd be there all the time! I hope you've got a great one there and have TONS of fun! If you change your mind on the mini sanitizers let me know because honestly our dollar store has them ALWAYS so it wouldn't be a problem to pick up a few extras to make sure you had enough. I can't imagine shipping to be too much since the packages are fairly small. Let me know! There's a dueling piano bar in Calgary We need to go, no matter how crappy it is!! lol And we always seem to be following each other on here, hehe, I just sent you some messages, lol

Natasha, love your bags, I think they've earned the term "Swag Bags" your guests are going to love love love them!!!! Awesome job! Love the sand in a bottle jars too!! I had wanted to do that with my invites, with The Police blaring for theme music but I just had way too many to mail! Your Thank you cards are great too, I may have to borrow on your borrow, lol. Kimmy, I'm so with you on the "fillers" but I have them...only 2 really, but they still suck! lol Oh well, lessons learned for the next time! hehe I don't think it's tacky to ask people to wear white - the "stars" do it, and it makes for awesome pics! So you're just going to have Super Star pics!! Loving the sound of the dueling piano bar, sounds awesome and hope you have a blast!!! It'll be really cool if the April Brides close would all get to go, unfortunately I have plans, and a little bit of distance, lol! As for your FI in Windsor, us Canucks can get pretty wild...and can be pretty mild, who knows what happened in Windsor, You know what we say here: "What happens in Windsor, stays in Windsor!" lol (I'm sure it was good clean fun!) Tracy, I get the promotions for Vistaprint emailed from the CAD site and the US site, and they seem to be different...are you on their mailing list yet?? if not you can send me your email and I can bump you what I get from the Canadian site.

I've also heard that you can get propane at a gas station along the way which might help you out as well Ok you have me laughing out loud at myself like an idiot!! good thing I'm home alone!! I didn't even think of the Farmers Market, and we used to go all the time, not recently, but it looks like time for a trip! Oh and I was laughing at the propane comment, hehe, such a smart one you are! Oh and I see your afternoon meeting must be over!

Uh I'm with the complaints on The Bridal Centre....but I can tell you the service I would have gotten if I'd purchased a "Couture" priced gown (the Bride next to me was drowning in customer service, and not looking at any gowns under $6000....don't think they liked my self-inflicted budget, and based on the customer service I received they won't get a dime out of me!! lol I'm big on service, and even if I had loved a dress, Meghan; same thing as you they didn't even bring what I asked for, I would have never purchased out of pure spite, I'm bad that way!! On a totally unrelated Bridal topic, but a total Calgarian Topic: Does anyone know where to buy some beef...like not a half a cow, but maybe a 1/4 or 1/8 for a good price?? already boxed/wrapped different cuts and frozen even........ BTW, Kris, love the Olympic mitts!! not sure if I mentioned it to you before! A gf of ours just had her maternity pics done with the mitts, such a good idea!!!

Quote: Originally Posted by taylorwd Lol, sorry that was my fault! I took it from a post a couple pages back and didn't even think about it. My bad. And thanks for fixing it! OMG, no worries, lol!!! I just vaguely remember this happening last time the list was posted, people kept getting dropped or missed!! And with all of our weddings coming oh so soon no one wants to get missed!! Lol

Ok so I think a couple people had gotten dropped again, so this "should" be the updated list...seems to me this was the problem happening last time except it was usually me getting dropped, lol!!

Oh Mel that's a rough start to a day, really rough!!! It'll get better from here! Meghan, I think we really need to talk more often! lol I'm not quite sure daily is enough ;o) - good call on the guys and gals walking down together, I didn't even think of that! I want it over as quick as possible too! lol, so that should make it a little faster at least! Well not as boring anyway!

Hello all, I have been stalking this thread all day but haven't really had a lot of time to post!! Just wanted to say that next time, I don't want any BM's!! lol Unfortunately my True True gf's that I would do love to have stand by my side can't make due to various good reasons - So I have FI's sister, and we are very close, as my MoH, but she's in NS, so the distance is hard, and then: I have what I like to call "Filler BM's" when there's just no one else and you have to fill the gap!! lol So when we renew our vows in 10 years....haven't broke this to FI yet but that's the plan, but when we do renew our vows - ABSOLUTELY no one will be invited, except our kids of course! Next time around I'm doing things MY Way! lol

Jade Silvertower............

Tracy, great job on the shot glasses and the fans, your guests will love them!! Taratoons, thankfully everyone is getting their money back!!! that is sooooo good to hear, even if it does take a little bit at least they can rest assured that it's on the way. I am sorry to hear that your FI lost his job in all of this, hopefully he will find something fairly fast!!

There is a thread already about this that people have posted lots of pics on, someone had already mentioned it and posted the link but here it is again in case you guys want to check it out: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...s-dress-11617/ Check it out, it's very helpful with lots of pics! Here's my Mom's dress...(not Mom in the pic, lol) she has the darker one And here's my FMIL's dress...(again not her in the pic!)

Ok so I literally just wrote a 5 page novel in response and I lost it all...ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG I am way too tired to write it all again, but let me just tell you all that it was good, and some parts were witty and other parts were fun - and now it's all gone, damned to unrecoverable computer hell........ Anyway, quick recap, welcome all new people to our April thread, we like it here. Time is coming quick, huh? Hope you enjoy it... Shortnsweet, as far as the talking goes, we've been together 8 years so I really can't remember saying to myself, "Hmmm he sleep talks, weird." but I can tell you that since we had our son, I've developed "Mom Syndrome: (the inability to sleep soundly ever again) and the chatter annoys me most times...but you're also probably right, I won't be able to sleep when I'm all alone because I won't be used to the silence! Plus, Don't worry about living with your FI one bit; you're probably better off than most, because you don't have years of irritations built up!! lol Mel and Shortnsweet, I do think Martez is going to be a sleep walker too! There have been many a nights that we've found him standing in his crib, chatting away - totally sleeping. Really Freaky, especially at 4 am... For anyone thinking about Spray Tans/mystic tan just be aware and do some research because I've read a lot about it wearing off fast down south when you're in and out of the water a lot, and salt water is exfoliating, not to mention sand...some say it can look blotchy after a bit...just check it before you do it. That's all I can think of for now, hope you ladies have a great night!!

Michele, love the dress, love the color too, it's very very cute!! I have not done any shopping yet...and my wardrobe is pretty disgusting!! lol I need Stacy and Clinton really really bad, and the $5000 visa, but I don't think they come to Canada! haha, too bad though! My FI doesn't snore, nor do I (probably because I don't really sleep, lol) but what my FI does do is talks, and I'm not talking like mumbles and jibberish - Full Conversations!!! "constant variables, and don't contaminate the scene, and I got an A, not a B+ I got a (insert swear word of choice here)...A, oh yeah" I have had a full coherent conversation thinking he was totally awake, but nope - knocked out cold!!!!!!! My FI's father talks intelligently in his sleep, FI talks intelligently in his sleep and this weirdo gene has now been passed on to our son!! Although not intelligent conversations yet (he can't talk, lol) he goes on and on, and smiles and laughs and speaks his crazy baby jargon just like he's wide awake...it's all enough to put me in the loony bin! Did I mention how much I'm looking forward to the night before the wedding when I'm totally alone!?!? lol in a king size bed..................ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I prob won't sleep a wink because it will all be too alien! lol

FLY, for sure, you can almost become invisible if you're able to fly...and this is a second answer to annoying habits - I couldn't pass it up: feet draggers/scuffers!!!!! Agh!! If you could change one thing in the past, but it would change the course of present day and future, would you?
