Hey Ladies, Just wondering how many people lost their mugs while on vacation??? I'm just worried i'll spend a ton of money on mugs and my drunken guest will have lost them by the end of the week... Did this happen to anyone? Do any of you wish you did cheaper stadium cups instead?? Thanks for your input!

Hi again, did you order plum??? i dont see eggplant as an option? Â thanks!

Thats GREAT!! Eggplant is my colour too and i'm also having a hard time finding exact matches. Can you post some pics of your bm dresses and other decor ? Thanks!

Just wondering if the groom and BM can wear the same thing? or should they be at least a little different? Its just the two of them. FI picked up beige linen pants and white tommy bahama shirts for both him and his BM. Will this work? Â Thanks!

Thanks for posting the Top 200 list, it's SUPER helpful!

I'd love to see a pic, i'm wondering if they are the same ones I was considering.... Thanks

Agreed! It totally sucks!!! And I dont understand why its like that???

thanks ladies, problem solved! called my dad last night and offered to pay the difference, turns out its not a money thing - just like i thought - but more of a misunderstanding on his girlfriends part. anyways, all it good. and for the record, of course i appreciate the fact that my dad is coming to the wedding, i guess you need to understand our family dynamics.

YouTube - Feels like home , my sisters keeper Listening to this song makes me ball my eyes out....does that mean its not a good choice for a first dance or it is

So it would be financially worth it for you to make that offer. That way you are telling your Dad the benefits to you without asking him to pay more. And HOPEFULLY your Dad will tell you to just forget the $150. Either way you come out on top and you haven't had to be confrontational with your Dad. Worth a shot? Courtney This is exactly what I was thinking of doing but definietly wanted the opinions of others. Thanks Courtney!

I would recommend them for anyone trying to stick to a strict budget :-) Hi Mallory, Did you get the bags yet? How are they? I'm seriously considering these bags, just wondering what you thought of them once you received them. Thanks!

So my dad called me the other night and said he will be making his own travel arrangements instead of being part of our group because he can save himself $150.00. Our group is leaving on a saturday and if he leaves friday night he will get a cheaper rate. I'm super unimpressed by this because I know its his girlfriend who's being cheap, and because he just spent 10 grand on an antique car that he wants to fix up. For my other sisters weddings, which were not destinations, he had to rent a tux and a luxury car to transport the bride to and bride and groom from the ceremony. He does not have to do either of those things for me. What also bugs me is the fact that because of this FI and I are going to miss out on a $500 travel credit from signature vacations and will will be short two guests for us to travel free . Any advice? Am I being unreasonalbe? TIA

If you go with one of their packages ($900 or more) then you get a free video of the ceremony...and if you purchase a video package, it's 40% off. There are date restrictions....if you want more info you can go to caribephoto.com and look at it there. Jist thought I would share.... Thanks! I'm considering going with these guys. We're trying to keep costs reasonable and they seem to have pretty good packages. Has anyone used them before, or know where I can find some reviews? thanks!

Congrats! This is definitely the place to find all the info you need. The girls are awesome! Happy planning!

Thanks for sharing...I actually think I can make these!

I love these! Thanks for sharing~

This is such a detailed list....its awesome! Thanks for sharing

I love them! My BMs dresses are eggplant and wanted to incorporate that colour a bit in the centrepeices, this is a great way to do it. Might have to steal your idea. Thanks for posting!

Congrats! This forum is awesome, lots to catch up on when you first join, but well worth it!

I was wondering the same thing...we're only having about 30 people so it wont be quite so bad, but im really hoping people will help us bring it down.

They are super cute! We never have stuff like that here in Ontario

He said he was going to email me my new WC's info but I have not yet received anything. I tried to call today and was on hold for 30 min with no response. My wedding is in October and I need to make some decisions and FAST but can not do so due to the change in WC. Oh, what to do? I suggest calling first thing in the morning - this is what i usually do and have success every time. Good luck, stay positive, its all going to work out

These are my shoes: Holy Crap, I'd never be able to walk in those! Impressive!

But I got some Reefs that were white and super glittery. They're much more sparkly than this picture lets on... Ultimately it's whatever YOU want! I'm all about flip flops and comfort - these look great! I might have to get them!
