Bonnie! what type of skin products do you use? I am using estee lauder and Shieldo

I think I will need another PDA phone that has currency exchange rate on there so its easier.

I think I am gonna go buck wild with shopping in Hong Kong haha

TARA- Yeah def. try to set a deadline for people. We have people already sending the RSVP back already and knowing that they are coming for sure. Also they already contact our travel agent for prices and airfare which is great. Yeah that's what I put on my website deadline for RSVP and also first deposit to block rooms. Dreams is a very popular place and I want to make sure I give enough time frame where it won't sell out. You know how some people are with last minute decisions as well. mexbride83- Thanks for your advice I feel better now. No, believe me the step-sister actually gets money from the parents still. Or else how she is renting a place on her own. Bonnie- Thanks!!!! I'll make sure I'll do that on my list of things to do and see. Omg!! I am so excited to go there now. All I want to do is eat and SHOP!!!!!!! do you have any favorite places? Do shop at any of their boutiques shops? Are you going on your honeymoon right after your wedding?

See I would think she would ask the parents first because are they all well off. What concerns me is that we got tons of big things to save up like a house and a new car soon.

mexbride83: I love Jcrew!! that's so nice of you to get giftcards. See about the step-sister I don't mine paying for her but the way she approach it was kind of strange. She paid for her trip to her friends but then she can't save for us? She is a college student and is working full time. I mean I understand I was once a college student before and money doesn't come easy when it comes to big trips. See I have 2 other siblings too. I told her where ever I am having my bridal shower and bach. party I can fly her to where ever.

Tara: Yeah don't worry just breathe and take it a easy or else it'll drive you nuts it did for me for a while. So I learned to take mini breaks as possible and have fun with it you know and then go back to you. Nice!! which travel agent are you using?? You should use Melissa if you have select a person yet. We are having people book individually through our travel agent we posted on our website with her contact info. and everything. But we did let our guest know that there's a deadline for booking and returning the RSVP. We need the RSVP by June 21 and also the first deposit if they plan on staying at our resort. It's easier to set a deadline for people.

Yeah we can't wait for Hong Kong! eat and shop. Hopefully I got come back being fat lol hahaa. Yeah we figured 2 weeks would be good to take off. Since we are going to waste 2 days. One day flying there and another coming back.

Tara! It's good to take mini breaks as much as you can. I think that's the best thing you can do.

Bonnie: Yeah I was gonna ask how are the prices in Hong Kong. I have a friend he lives in the states here but he gets all his clothes there. I wonder if like designer brand are cheaper there?

Bonnie- Honeymoon probably another weekend in Mexico later in the year we probably have a real honeymoon either in Tahiti or Asia trip. My brother and I are planning to go to Hong Kong end of July. I got so many trips coming up this year. And weddings to attending. We got invited to so many weddings one wedding I want to attend that is out in france. We also got invited to a wedding in Shanghai and Taiwan. At least you got a head start on your wedding process. blah...but I don't think I can go to half of the wedding that is oversea I need to same my vacation days. You'll get things put all together. That will be great going to asia for your honeymoon.

Hahahaha Thanks ladies!! josietoms- don't feel bad at all. I just know exactly what I want and how I want it. I am just good envisioning things. hahah I think it helps sometimes when you know what you want and stick with it. It's easier to work with. Sometimes it's really hard because there's so many ideas out there and the decision makes it harder. Since my theme is Eco friendly its a lot easier because I can make things and know what I can use that can be reused and recycle. A lot of time go green wedding are easy. Now I can just move on with other things. Like traveling and working out. I already bought clothes for my honeymoon hahaha. I am excited for my upcoming trips that I can focus on.

I am so excited and all Set!!!!!! my wedding planning is almost done. I can't believe it!!! 334 days to go

I know what you mean Chris. There's so many things I want to purchase. All the flowers that my WC sent me I am not too impress with it.. blah like for the center pieces. Are you having a big wedding? We invited 40 but only expect 20-30 people. You should do tequila tasting.. I know they have it at the dreams. Its a tequila tasting with a Mexican Festa. We are planning to do that after the wedding so Sunday evening. This way sunday is a lazy day and at night we do the fun tequila tasting.

peterpanpixiedust- That's great!! Really? When I was looking into the Dreams Resort and the Dreams Rivera they told me a while back that it was similar pricing. Maybe prices change? I am going to write a great review about her later. Same to you! your pictures will try out lovely as well. You should add music on your website!

peterpanpixiedust- NIce website look like we are using the same place and having our wedding at the same resorts but in different location. Yours in in Cancun by is rivera cancun haha. How's your planning coming along?

Is any of you brides having a gift registry on your website? Since its not a typical wedding since its destination. I really want too but my fiance doesn't because he feels bad for the people that is already paying for their tickets to fly down to FL. I don't know... what's everyone's thoughts ?

Nicyx- thanks!!!! for the help!!!!

Bonnie! I am doing not a beach style wedding! Most of all my are very elegant looking. I am not even having my reception on the beach just because I want to be able to wear heels. So we are having it on the poolside.

See I would love to pay for everyone but then it's not fair to all the other siblings you know? And besides she is the step-sister of my fiance. If I were to pay I would at least pay for my brother.. I don't know I am about fairness

My wedding WC finally sent me the contract and answer all of my questions! Finally!!! So while going through all the wedding planning my sister-in-law (finance step-sister) ask me so who is going to buy for her ticket and Jason my little brother. I told her well the parents are paying for jason. Then she replied back saying.. well then I I have to figure me out. She is 20 years old and asking? hmmmm.... what does everyone think? I mean I am doing long distance right now with my finance I moved up north because of work and trying to save up for a house and wedding.. and all of sudden she ask me who is going to pay for her? Not only that I asked her when is she going to mexico for her friend's wedding in April and I asked who is paying for her? She said herself. Ugh..... shoot me!

Yeah! I get her wedding magazine every month!

Here is my welcome letter card finishing touched. Still working on the back but that is going to be later since we won't know the schedule of everything yet. But I tell you.. Martha Stewart really inspires me hahaha. It'll look even better once everything is glued and stay put.

TARA- Yeah I know its touch! But all you can do at this point is wait and try to keep on contacting them. Even my TA has sent several emails out to the WC/Resort for that contract. Since we did it backwards with booking our airfare and rooms.
