I'm just doing some candy. I'm using a quart sized chinese take-out box. Putting clear individual treat bags filled with 4 of our favorites (swedish fish, whoopers, starburst and chocolate covered pretezels) w/ some loose dark chocolate dove candies. Sticking a big labels to close it with something like "some of our favorites" or something more catchy.

Do an ebay search for specific items....I got berry Tums 3roll packages for .99 each.....36 rolls for under $20 including shipping! Also got my handsanitizer at the dollar tree, had bonus packs with 3 2oz bottles....cheap and smells good, aloe and moisturizing. Got other meds on minimuz....which was mentioned by several other girls.....shipping free on orders over $20!

But there is so much to do............ BUT WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!! STAY ENCOURAGED LADIES!!!!!!!!!! We can do it!!!! Strangely I'm starting to feel less anxious......I seem to be making progress and getting more organized! I'm getting wicked excited too! Now if I could just quit my job......LOL......I could get it all done this week.

From the beginning we decided not to do an AHR. A couple of times I thought of reconsidering especially since the majority of our guests in Mexico are friends but after all this planning (with a lot more to do) I'm sure I don't want to do it.

Thank you, thank you so much for the reminder! Working tonight......got to call home and have FI set the DVR! Summer addiction!

LOL, OMG! I'm so buried in my LISTS too!

what about calling by your last name? I went to a wedding where they did a signature drink.....there last name was Cassini so it went really nicely! Everyone was saying all night "get me a Cassini maritini! That was 4 yrs ago and people still use that slogan.....LOL!

I'm now starting to buy the OOT bag items and still need to buy chair bows, table runners and I also got a crystal curtain for the ceremony but now I'm starting to wonder how I am going to pack it all and then am I going to have to lug it with me on my honeymoon?? I was originally thinking of not packing the "extras" in a suitcase because then I'll have to lug around a half empty suitcase and instead putting it in some kind of box and I can toss in MX. What are you ladies doing? Months ago I put out the word to friends and family that I need old suitcases for the trip. I've got 2 so far. I plan on paying the extra bag charge and leaving the suitcases down there. May send one home with my sister if I want to bring back any of my decorations or things. Hoping for one more donated suitcase or I'll buy a real cheap one at the Goodwill or something!

Here's the link: Large Maracas Assorted Colors Cinco de Mayo Favors & Prizes | Amols' Fiesta Party Supplies Thanks for the tip.....ordered 24 pairs in pink and orange only.....1.95 a pair! Not positive what I'm doing with them yet.....either putting them on the plates w/ the dinner menu or using them for the seating plan.

Made my FI watch the interview on Monday, he said the same thing......as bad as her moves where, we believe she was being honest....Jake wasn't!!!!

border. Just puts it all together nicely.

I'm at 42 including us. Hope that's it!

Tissey your OOT bags look great! I love this forum.....I'm using 2 templates that you used (hangover kits and key card holders!) Sponge Bob cameras are a nice touch!

everything looks great! I love your dress, mine is everything I never thought I wanted too! Thanks so much for posting, you are so right about helping one person out and giving back. Have a blast!!!

LOL

Quote: Originally Posted by Tissey Thanks for the tip info ladies! Gowiththeflow, can you let me know if you find any cute/cheap maracas around there when you go down? I found a site that has really good prices on them (like $2 a pair) here and they have my colors (pink and orange), but I'm accumulating a lot a stuff to bring down as it is. I'm hoping that's one thing I'll be able to get there. do you mind sharing the site for the $2 maracas Quote: Originally Posted by Jen2011 We r meeting jacy tomorrow morn to give us a tour of the place and to talk about the wedding.

Last winter was unusual for the carribean side of mexico I believe. I was there this past as well as the 2 previous years in January. This past was as previously stated.....cool at night, even day high were unseasonable. 2 previous January trips were warm and balmy at night....perfect. Pashminas will work either weather. On the pacific side it down right chilly at night in the winter months!!!
