Congratulations!!!!! Your plans sound really amazing. Everyone here is so helpful and friendly, all you have to do is ask. Best of luck and happy planning!

Thanks for the advice ladies! I think they are starting to work together better after the initial grandstanding. I actually did send them an email with three dresses that I liked and thought would be figure flattering for all. The drama  began with a bridesmaid going to try on the dresses that I chose and relaying her experience to the others. Now they are all working together on my bridal shower and the "out of towners" are making plans to attend, which is great.

Here's hoping their new found togetherness sticks.

What would I do without you ladies to vent to and bounce ideas off? Thanks again!

Wow, that's amazing! I was on a cruise and never saw a single wedding and you two are getting married on the same day and ship. Best of luck with your continued planning. BTW, we share a wedding date too

I am getting married on a Carnival Cruise ship before it leaves Port Canaveral, Florida on April 28th, 2012!

 

And if you guys think having the same month in common is weird.. I got a pm the other week from a girl who was searching BDW and she saw my signature details, SHE'S getting married on the SAME ship on the SAME day I am.. I think they have like 2 weddings per sailing date, and here we both are, lol. It's a small world after all

LOL, that's awesome. I can't wait to see yours!

You're so welcome, I'm glad I can pay it forward. I had them printed at Office Depot, but I purchased linen cardstock from paperandmore.com

Congrats! All of us Palace brides have to stick together. My FI and I definitely considered the Beach Palace, it looks and sounds amazing, but ultimately chose the Cancun Palace. Keep us in the loop with your plans. Best of luck!

I will be getting married at the Beach Palace Resort in Sept 2011. I was wondering if anyone who has had their wedding here would give me some advice? Do's and Don'ts with this resort? Their packages? Photography? DJ?

 

I will greatly appreciate your comments.

Steph, thank you soooo much for posting the layout. I actually purchased the Aylee template and I just could not get it together with my printer. I finally got, but this definitely helps me a little more. Thank you again and congratulations on your marriage!!!

Hi Shan! I tried to attach the template to an older post and it did not appear. I'll try again.

POSTCARDS -BDW Template.pdf

I didn't, I just use the iPad app and it's amazing. I've been using the website too. Have you found any other good recipes outside of the cookbook?

Thanks! I looked into the Vistaprint postcards, but ultimately created these because they are similar to some that we were looking to purchase from a graphic designer. Even though I'm not typically a DIY kind of girl, this project definitely proved that I can do it...and like it, LOL.

Thanks!!!!

LOL, I understand how you feel, it just drives you crazy. So are you going to have them reprinted? If so, I got an email from Vistaprint today with a deal on postcards. Let me know if you would me to forward it to you.

I usually try to be really good Sunday- lunchtime Friday and then do what I want for the weekend. It may not be the best strategy, but it works for me. Good luck!

I am an April 2012 bride who has just joined weight watchers a week ago.  I would like to loose 10-15 pounds and so far getting use to logging my food etc.  I typically don't eat bad, however; I love my beer.  Any do and don'ts would be great as I'm very very new to WW.

 

thanks ladies, and good luck with reaching your goals.

Congratulations! That sounds amazing!
