    I like the tiara, before I saw the pictures I was thinking the flower, but that tiara is not what I normally picture a tiara to be like. I like them both though so its a hard choice.

    I was going to get him a motorcyle (a cheap one) but he found out and freaked out about how much money we were going to spend on each other, so I am not sure if we are going to give each other presents anymore. It is an ongoing debate

    I just have to get enough posts, cant wait to open it, seems like it would be a great resource.

    I am so glad I stumbled across this thread. I didnt even think of this, I am so happy that I will now be prepared. Hopefully my WC deserves a tip

    I think I am going to stay in my mom's room the night before the wedding. I dont really know why, and nobody is pressuring me to do it, I just always thought that was part of tradition. I also think that maybe because we are so used to staying together it will make me miss it the night before and make the wedding night all the more special.

    I totally get what you are saying. I paid for my own dress, and my mom also has more than enough money that she could have bought it for me. She is not very up in traditons, so it didnt really hurt my feelings as I know she will be helping me in all other aspects. I also know that if I talked to her she would have paid for it, but that was not important to me. But it is an option for you...talk to her about how you feel, you might be surprised what you find out.

    It is a hard decision. Maybe you could go halves? It is a hard decision to make. Also if you do decide to help her pay, and are worried about what other people are going to think have a talk with her about telling people.

    Yeah I dont think there are specific guidelines. I want to give them something they will remember and wont end up in a drawer somewhere so my FI and I are going to pay for all of our wedding party to do an excursion as their gift. Like go snorkelling or something when we are in Mexico, we will invite the other people coming to our wedding, but we will be treating it as a special occassion for everyone that hepled us out so much in leading up to this day.

    Oh I also read somewhere about giving out maracas as your wedding favor, and it was the shaking of maracas that would make the couple kiss, very islandy...

    I was at a wedding once where they had a large dice that people could go up and roll. Each number had a different thing to do, a couple of the numbers were the couple would kiss, another number was the person rolling had to dance, another one was that they had to kiss their partner etc. You could maybe make this into a more tropical theme? Another wedding I went to you could either show them how it was done by kissing your date, or sing a love song or recite a love poem...

    I really wanted to let everyone close to me first before changing the facebook status, but when I got home my FI had already sent me the facebook request, I thought it would be brutal if I replied "no" to this request. So I just did it and dealt with my friends. I tried to tell them as soon as I could, and told them my reasoning for changing my status so quickly and it kind of turned into a joke, which worked out perfectly!

    Wow,talk about last minute. The least they could have done was make him feel wanted and not just like a back up.

    I am going to do welcome drinks on the day that people arrive, our wedding is only 2 days later so I dont think we really have time to do a rehersal. I am really easy going, so I figure it will all work out, and if not we will just have to make it work out, haha.

    I totally agree. I think it is just rude! I mean how hard is it, it is a pre-posted stamp and everything. I definately experienced the same thing, so irritating. I just had a bridal shower and a lot of the people didnt respond to that either. I figure even if it is a little inconvienent it is the considerate thing to do. Clearly I am venting too, I was so irritated!

    I really didnt want to have a wedding shower because I thought people would think I was being greedy. I figured I already asked them to pay to come tomy wedding, why should I ask for extra presents. My mom insisted that she was throwing me a shower, just happened this last weekend and I am so happy about it. I am glad she made me do it and nobody had any resntment. I feel like I am getting the full wedding treatment and I am loving it. So happy about it!

    I just picked up some bags at the dollar store, I looked around a lot, but then just happened to see some that I liked at the store when I was out. Keep your eyes peeled, you never know what you will find
  24. amandasalways
    They are so cute, I wish I had more time to get mine done, I started late, haha, procrastinor...
  25. amandasalways
    I know this was a huge disagreement between my FI and I, I wanted to do them because I thought it would be a nice gesture, but as I keep picking up things for the bags the cost is soaring. I am definately starting to see me FI's point as it is a huge added expense, and most people coming to the DW wont know to expect them. I am glad I am doing them though, just wish it was a little cheaper...
