Thanks for all your help girls, so nice to get some answers ) Not heard anything from Victoria in months. I'm OK with that for the moment but would be nice to have some sort of acknowledgement from her. I know they are busy as you've all said though.

Thanx Nicy the pic doesn't really do them justice they are prettier in the flesh. We've had a few ppl text to say they like them which is nice. Makes it all the more worth while. ) Did Stephen try his suit on? Dan is trying his on as we speak but dont think he'll let me take a pic!! Spoil sport lol

Here are our AHR invites )

Welcome Leanne and congrats on your wedding ) Yes Nicy i'll have to post pix of the invites. Got most posted today and getting positive feed back which is nice. ) Maybe i need to do that diet, anything to help the lard fall off hee hee ;o)

We're having our wedding on a Wednesday )

Nicy i am LOVING your nails, so cool!! Can't wait to see your FI in his outfit ) It's all coming together now x Well the shops didn't have my shoes in stock so i've ordered them online. Will let you know what they are like when they arrive..... all think PINK!!! lol...... We finished our AHR invites last night. Team effort with FI and I. So off today playing postman pat (well as much as we can) to avoid all the extra expense of postage )

welcome back Murmel, congratulations )

oh no, so sorry to hear you had so many problems on your special day ( i'll look forward to reading your review and hopefully it might help some of us avoid the problems you had

Ha ha ha dont we all just LOVE a pair of shoes, i'm even more excited now you've said they look more HOT PINK... OMG i hope they are!! I have a red satin pair of shoes already so really wanting them to be PINK!! lol I'll let ya know how i get on! Welcome back Josie!! Have fun at your AHR, look forward to hear all the goss when your back on here..... Jo - you nut bag, wish you hadn't taken the kids lol that is so funny, i wonder if i'll be thinking the same after our holiday hee hee ;o) I will defo pack a mini medical kit, but i'm normally the other way around. I cant go for the first 3 days and get a bloated belly!! Not good. I think i'm gonna take everything to cover everything lol. Nicy - enjoy having your hair done! I see on FB you had a day from Hell yesterday, hope you have a better day today hun Oh no what you mean i have to buy MORE bikini's? You all know how i hate shopping ;o) might pick myself up one or four today ha ha Have a good day girls Oh Lisa, thanks for the update on the cards!

Aww Jo what a lovely photo ) Ha ha you girls, i'm going bluewater in morning with mum to try them on ) cant wait just hope they look more pink than red in the flesh ) Nicy i am LOVING your cake topper it is lovely. I think we are going to go with the diamonte ones but i havent ordered them yet. Need to get on that. I've just been so into these AHR invites everything else is out the window lol. They are looking good though but didn't realise how much work they would be

OMG thanks so much for the info. I'm so excited i cant wait to see your pix....... I have another question too.... do you get premium wristbands if your having your wedding at the Palace? so you get benefits like free room service etc? I read you do at the Tropical just wondered if the same rules at the Palace. Thanks so much for your help )

Girls how much do the hotel charge for use of the chair covers and sashes? I'm wonder if i should bring my own? Thanks

I haven't had anything like that. Poor you must be so frustrating. Dont let them stress you out

Aww Nicy that is SO cute what a lovely idea putting your grandad's pic in it ) You gotta love a pound shop. I might pop to one see what i can pick up. Really wanted to get some playing cards like Josie did for the OOT bags but haven't seen any. Maybe now the summery stuff is coming out they will get some in! As for photographers. Ours said we didn't have to pay a deposit we can settle up when out there. They said cos of the tax's etc its easier. So what i might do is pay half before we go via Paypal and then the rest in cash while we're there. Don't want to have to take it all out there in cash but also dont want to pay it all up front if you know what i mean! We did have to pay a deposit for our video ppl though. Its $550 and we had to pay $300 depoist. We did that via Paypal too.

It must be that all hotels are different then? I have no idea. I just know we wont get our cert sent to us until about 4/5months after the wedding

We've been told we have to pay $55 for an apostile seal to be attached to our marriage certificate out there otherwise its only legal in Mexico. They then send it on to us a few months after we get back. Then we have to have it translated into English. All good fun ah!

Nicy - so glad you had a good time. 3 bikinis!! lovely! I love getting the holiday bits. Well i've got a bad coldsore at the mo and have had them constant since Nov. Doc's put it down to stress and illness/being run down so hoping these help. I thought i'd go now while i had one (plus had to take the little one to doc's). She's given me a high dose now that i take 5 a day for 5 days to help this one i've got now then she's given me 2months worth of a lower dose. She said start taking them a month before we go and then whilst out there. She also recommended going back Nov time and getting some more to see me through the winter. I'll let you know how i go with them ) Hope your shoulder is better soon. Sounds painful (

Oh believe me planning a wedding brings out the MONSTER in some ppl. So many of us have had problems. Well girls i've been and got some coldsore tablets off the doc's for those of you that also suffer and not wanting them on your big days. She's given me Aciclovir. Lets just hope they help :o/

OMG congratulations so glad it all went well (apart from the ring mishap) can't wait to hear all about it when your back )

Oh nicy dont be disheartened. Although i know how you feel. I've also been working out hard and being good 6days a week and not hardly lost anything. It p's me off too. So i've decided to STOP weighing myself. I am sticking to it and my clothes feel looser so it must be coming of from somewhere. So i'm just now going by how i feel in my clothes. Sod the scales, lol.... Have a lovely time hun, happy shopping )

I really can't remember sorry i got them Months ago. If you just search for pink paper fan's i'm sure you'll find some though ) They are so cheap and hopefully at 3pm when it's still really hot everyone will appreciate them lol Welcome to the group newbies! Your find it SO helpful

I got the fans off ebay. A pack of 12 from Hong Kong and they were about £5. There are 10 women in the group. No not doing anymore. The men can share and use these if they want, lol. I'm guessing they wont bother.

I love oriental pearl. My daughters flowergirl dress is from there ) cant wait for it to come in! Sounds like you had a busy weekend I didnt do invites for the wedding but we are DIYing our AHR invites. (to get them done was going to cost £350 so just thought to do them at home). Still an expense but helps getting the printing done at FI's work and putting them all together ourselves ) that should be this week. I like the idea of boarding passes though. I think you will be safe with Etsy )

Ok thought i'd share some of my DIY projects... what i've got so far for my OOT/gift bags (also have starfish bottle stops but forgot to photo those). Now i've done the tags... The little girls tops have their name on back and i'm going to pin a flower on the front )
