Asbarret, thanks for keeping us in the loop. I love reading MP reviews. I'm glad that I didn't miss this one!

Everything looks great - you've got one valuable sister!

I can just wash my hair and go! just let it air dry or dry with a blow dryer, and it looks so pretty!!! I am not an expert with these braids but let me know if anyone has any questions. Getting married on Tuesday-wish me luck!!! Woooo Hoooo, it's alost your day! Thanks for taking the time to give us a heads up - I know you've got to be super busy! I can't wait to see pics. Congrats!!!

Please join us on the thread for 2011 Brides! Happy Planning!

Thanks for sharing. With as much as we have to get done, why re-invent the wheel, right?

These look fabulous! The descriptive envelope - what a time and money saver!

Impressive!

I like this one too!

How did you manage to get all of that good stuff for such a great price?!?

but back to the Wedding Coordinator questions... any more responses? I am DYING to see the sapphire package info. I emailed my WC b/c my wedding is in 88 days now :-) so I am awaiting her response. How did they contact you did they send a hello email or anything? My Miami WC emailed me the Sapphire package info. PM me your email address and I will send it to you.

Everything looks great!

What a great idea! I suggest that you get a digital scrapbooking program. There are tons of ready made sheets that you can print that has room for a photo and journaling/text.

Looks great! What does the wording on the perimeter of the luggage tags say?

You'll get fabulous info on this forum. I've already filled up two binders with notes! Happy Planning!!!

Are the dresses two-tone like the photo or solid Tiffany Blue?

I've never heard of it, but now you've got me curious...I'll check it out. Have you checked the internet for reviews of the service?

Please post the link to your Etsy page on this thread once you get it up. Congratulations!!!

I'm from the South and it's tradition here too. Money is pinned on the Bride or Groom for a dance. I remember my cousin have $100 bills all over her gown and veil. (I'm sure that it enhanced their honeymoon.) The dancing has never been raunchy, although comical sometimes. I think we will pass for a DW. The guests have already spent significantly more that if we were married locally. We're not even expecting gifts.

Good stuff!

I too have read horror stories on here about shipping things. They discussed what you would expect: things getting there late or not at all. One bride even lost her wedding gown by shipping it ahead. You also don't want to run the risk of having to pay an import tax, since you have multiples of the same item, you could get hassled about being a merchant. Our resort won't even accept shipments anymore. It turns out to be a blessing for me because shipping was my first and only thought. I didn't consider the bad stuff that could happen. Most brides recommend paying the extra baggage fees on the airlines; packing the items in suitcases or large plastic bins; and splitting the packed stuff among relatives that are flying in. Good Luck!

Very nice, you covered all the basics!

Welcome stephp! We chose Cancun for the exact same reason. What resorts are you visiting?

Dianep, I'm SOOOO excited for you! If you get any pics of the pedi, please post them. Congrats, Girl!
