  1. Ohhhh...thank God!!! I honestly thought I was the only one!! Everyone else seems to love it!
  2. I've seen quite a few american brides offer to have stuff shipped to them. check out some of the other OOT forums.
  3. I'm with you on the AHR. I don't want to spend an excessive amount of money on it, and if I had to be honest, I'm not really enjoying this wedding-planning business as it is! i guess, I'm just not that kind of person!! So, the thought of adding another task to my list, makes me want to put a pen in my eye.
  4. Hmmm...I have Darienne now, and at first it was really great, she responded quickly, sent me the form where I was actually able to include some of the ideas I had in mind. But, since busy season has seemed to have kicked in, not so much. I'm not actually worried about it anymore. It was really frustrating when I wanted to put my deposit down and neither the Westin or Divi were getting back to me, come to think of it, after all of the work I did with Divi also, they haven't contacted me about confirming to this date! Trying to get everything else in order now, I have sadly just ordered my invitations ( I really thought I could get everything done in 6 months!) How about you Kathie? Is everything esle going to plan?
  5. No, I've never been to Aruba But, I can tell you, I wasn't all that impressed with Inge and her response time and was ready to start looking elsewhere. I felt like I was always burdoning her with questions. I don't have to deal with her anymore, so that makes me happy Who knows, maybe she's super nice in person, and it just doesn't translate in email?
  6. Oooo..I haven't updated! Yes, we are finally booked to get married at the Westin. Surprisingly, our TA found us a deal to stay at the RIU, which was too good to pass up! We were looking into getting married at the RIU as well, but you have to have a certain % of your guests staying there, and we have some guests staying at timeshares, so it was too up in the air to plan. What about you? How is your planning going? I was just reading a thread about someone who got married at Manchebo and used Lissy Lampe, sounds fantastic. Fill me in, please...
  7. hahaaaa...you are hilarious!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
  8. wow, it's like you read my mind!! we only have a moh and bm, so we're lucky. I was looking for ideas for the BM here, but the MOH gift was pretty much what i had in mind!
  9. To canadiangirl and torilynnsmith, thank you so much for your votes of confidence. I am sooo exhausted, this wedding is killing me! I thought that having a short time frame to plan would be good, but I have to say, I envy you girls for having so much time ahead of you. And btw, the postal strike is a rotating strike, so things will just take longer to get there. I was worried that they could be trapped in a truck or something equally stupid! I am jealous of all of you DIY'ers, but I'm pressed for time as it is, I have 2 boys that are killing me lately, and with work.... Anyways, ladies, before I start venting again. I will make sure to post my invites when I get them, and please keep posting in this forum...I LOVE IT! tracey
  10. Thanks I was actually in NYC last weekend and found some nine west flip flops (possibly patent leather, but at least patent looking) they have some silver beading on them. I am very relieved because everything I saw was either too beachy or too blingy, I think I found a happy medium, without spending a fortune!
  11. Seana, Thank you so much for sharing! You are awesome! Now I wish I went with Lissy, but I had already invested so much time corresponding with the Westin, that I just couldn't let that time be wasted...and I love the Westin! I will be in touch with you, I'm sure, and I'm checking out your fb page in 2 secs! Happy to hear you had fun!
  12. Risa, have fun, take pics, and please remember all of us who are still trying to plan!! Congrats!!
  13. OMG!! I am soo jealous! First of all, your invites look amaaaazing! Second of all, they're done, and your wedding is next year! I'm getting married in less than 3 months, and I only gave the final ok to print mine today! Plus, with the strike...BOOOO!!! We're just waiting to hear what the verdict will be. Keep in mind, that we just got engaged in Feb, and decided we wanted to do it this year. But, are we ever behind!! hahaaa!! We already have our guests confirmed, so it's almost senseless to send out the invites at all! Ahhh..well, I love them, can't wait to see them. Ok, sorry, that was my vent for the day!
  14. Really? That's a big BOO! I have 22 adults and about 16 kids booked! I'll have to keep that on the DL.
  15. WOW! Your invites look fantastic!! I knew I wouldn't have the patience to DIY them. I'm waiting for the final digital proof, then I can sign off on those. Holy Crap!! I have less than 3 months to go..eeek...101 days, and my invites aren't even out yet?! Still seems like so much to do It's ok, whatever isn't done, isn't done. I have 2 friends on mat leave also, they should be able to help me out a bit. Oooooo...times-a-flyin'!! Good luck Janet with your planning, and Canadiangirl, I fear for you, all of that time to plan.....opens up way too many options for you! But have fun, and enjoy your baby!
  16. welcome canadiangirl! there is so much information here, and amazing ideas! you will love it! you can easily become obsessed! but, because of this forum, I've discovered many wonderful sites, like etsy and vistaprint and shutterfly, and have ordered all kinds of crazy stuff for either free or almost free...unbelievable! have fun!
  17. fantastic tip! and to KCB with the mailing labels, what would I do without you ladies??
  18. your cake topper is waaaayyyy tooo cute..I LOVE IT! I'm gonna check it out right now!
  19. OMG! My FI will love this, the flyers jersey!! might be a great surprise!
  20. OMG! You ladies have some fantastic ideas! Love the Burberry sunglasses, Flowerbomb, Vera Bradley organizers and the bouquet charms! Thanks for sharing your fantastic ideas ladies!
  21. Me too!! And now I am committed to my flip flop idea, since my dress has already been shortened...boooo...I'm very jealous of all of the brides with the gorgeous heels <sigh> any tips ladies?
  22. Check out www.etsy.com I found the person that is going to be doing mine there. I was specifically looking for someone in Canada to save on shipping and duty. There's a lot on that site.
