Oh No!  That would be terrible!!!..

 

For y'all that are bringing your own photogs.. Are y'all paying for the accommodations and a wedding package price?  I was curious as to how that is normally handled. I got a quote from one guy from Atlanta, GA and we wanted us to pay his flight and accommodations plus a wedding package that was about 3k by itself.  I about fell out..

Just get the permit, you don't want the gear to be confiscated (YIKES!)

 

I was looking for playing cards last night for my OOT Bags and I came across this great deal!..

For anyone who may want to use Texas hold'em cards vs. regular playing cards, I found this lot of 81 Decks of Texas Hold'em cards for 19.99 + free shipping to US.

 

Here's the link:

Thanks for sharing!! I have read many reviews about Swiss Pastry.. I also have read they have great prices.

MrsWeiss  do you have your pictures posted anywhere on this site of your wedding at the Cloisters?   I would LOVE to see them!!  My FI and I are planning our weeding for May 2013 there. )

Thanks Again for another great review!!! I'd be rather lost without your information..

 

I also just noticed you are from Atlanta!  That's where my FI lives.. In a little over a year, I will be living there as well! I'm soo excited!

Oops... I just noticed your wedding was last year.. If you still check up on this site, I would love to hear about whom you chose to officiate and you review on the Atlantis resort! ) Congrats on your recent marriage!!

I get soo excited when I see threads about Atlantis(even if their older)... lol... But I do love hearing how amazing Atlantis and the Cloisters are!! It makes me soo excited about our choices.. )  And I love, LOVE, how Atlantis offers group rates for 1/2 the price of their normal rates.  

 

I wish some future Atlantis/Cloister brides would come forward so that we can share our excitements and planning details together..

I know this is an old post and you may not be a member any longer.. but if so, when is your wedding or has it passed? I was curious if you was still planning or had your wedding at Atlantis. Would love to hear your feedback. I am planning our DW stay at the Atlantis resort.

Thanks for sharing this advice. It was one of the many questions I had as well!

WOW... I love your pictures! You looked gorgeous and very happy!!! ) I also loved your cake, I am wanting one like that in our wedding colors!! Tim Aylen is def now on my list of photogs. )

 

After reading this.. I am going to encourage my family and friends to take pictures since they all love to and share them to a shutterfly account I plan on setting up. Thanks for the advice!..

 

Thanks for sharing your pictures!!.. I can't wait til I am officially an Atlantis bride! I hate that it's rare to find others getting married at Atlantis or on Paradise Island. (

Thanks Ladies for sharing your recent trips to Riu on Paradise Island.. This was one of the resorts we was looking at before we fell in love with Atlantis.. I hope this is a much better choice although we are loosing the all-inclusive factor.. As always, thanks for sharing!

Awww... These are Great!! Yall look like one very very happy couple. )

Sorry to butt in.. but do you ladies know anything about the Chinese sky laterns?  My fiance loves them, but I wasn't sure if those are banned from the Bahamas or anything.

 

Also, we are staying at the Atlantis, and since food seems to be rather expensive we plan on adding crackers and snack foods to our OOT bags and once we get to the island we're gonna go over to the grocery store and get cases of water so we can put bottles in the bags and not have to worry about traveling with them.

I did a lot of searching today and I found some lanyards that I can get for about 50-60 cents each if I buy in increments of 20. (which is no problem since I will need about 40.) This includes the sealable pouch and the part that does around your neck.

 

For you ladies that have bought lanyards or plan on purchasing them.. Are these a good deal or have you found better deals elsewhere?

 

I hope my picture didn't turn out too small.. But I wanted to share these great items I found today at my local Dollar Tree.. Well I went to Target first and bought the Johnson & Johnson first aid kits for .97 cents.. I was excited about these.......until I went to Dollar Tree.

 

But first.. items in picture.

• LCD Silicone Sport watches..  Got some for the kids in my wedding colors.. Orange for boys, pink for girls, and of course a pink one for myslef. $1 Each
• Chap Ice - these were in Cherry, original and "crazy flavors" which consists of rasberry and watermelon. 3 pack for $1
• Hand Sanitizer - I haven't smelt these yet, but they were a 2 pack for $1. I'm gonna have to go to another dollar tree to find more of these because my store was all sold out except for this one.
• Kleenex Packs - 8 packs for $1

 

And last but not least... My first aid kits. The ones I got from Target are going back this week. Yes they were .3cents cheaper.. but here is the break down of why I'm choosing to spend the extra 3 cents on each one..

hehe.. )   Would LOVE to see your picture!.. My Old Navy is about 45 minutes from my house.. I live in the boonies.. LOL..

But I'm hoping I can go one day during lunch, we have one about 15 minutes away from here.

Aww.. those are sooo pretty!!!! I love the long table idea.. I'm hoping mine will turn out 1/2 as nice.

Is anyone else using these for their OOT Bags? I'm having to make about 20 OOT bags or more and wanted to use the most cost effiecient bags I could possibly find.. At first I was considering paper bags in my colors.. But after browsing soo many different stores, I absolutely LOVE those shiny looking reusable shopping bags!.. And best part, you can find them for less than $5 each and they are a pretty good quality, seeing how they are "reusable" shopping bags. But I've seen some that look just as good if not better than $20 beach bags I've seen. Where are you lades buying yours? I would love to see pics! Anyone using yellow/gray colors, Best Buy has some super cute and big ones right now. ( I was soo jealious!) I'm not sure of the price, ( sorry. But they are def worth looking at if you want to use those colors! Also, Michaels has some great ones for girls if you are doing kid bags (pink and green strips I posted a pic on a thread I created last night for OOT Bags for girls) and they also have red striped ones for younger girl and larger bags in red and yellow, I believe. Colors may vary from store to store. My colors are pink and orange.. If anyone happens to come across any that may match, that info would be greatly appreciated. If if they have white, black, brown, tan or silver mixed with orange or pink those would even be great!

Oh how wonderful it would be....but no worries....I just made this website a FAVORITE and open every morning when I get to work and browse around on & off all day!  (I'm bad!!!)  LOL!:woot2:

hehehe... I do the same thing.. I'm on this site all day long... while at work, home, my fiance's... :shameonyou: I'm soo addicted to this site. I use it wayy more than I ever use my facebook anymore. Hopefully we will get to have an app before too long.

On the left of the page go down to Wholesale Scarves... And then go towards the bottom of the page and on your left it says "Solid Pashmina" click that pcture. Black is the 1st one and cream is the 3rd one on the 1st page.  Hope this helps. )
 

or this should be the direct link.

Well I'm glad to hear they were such a great hit! I hope my guests will enjoy them just as much!  I was in need for some of these for wedding I went to and even at my local TJ Max I paid about $20 each for them and they seen to be the same quality as in your picture. I'll def go with cream and black, you are my life saver!!! )   Thanks Again!!

 

Any other great deals you know of for the OOT bags, please pass them along. )

 

And CONGRATS on your recent marriage!!

I gave my mom both of course lol and myself. They were really great quality and not at all like the few I picked up on canal street that were more like scarves.

 

Speckles u can email me anytime I would love to save my girls any time possible. you know I am a serious shopper so I did my research on these and i did find a place with better prices but the pashminas weren't comparable. 

 

 

Ahh, now that is a terrific idea!!.. I don't know why I didn't think of that!.. With doing that you shouldn't have any problems at all.

Very True!!!  Silly me.. When I went to the shipping page I saw 76.75!... lol     but 20.64... that def sounds moe reasonable!! ) Thanks for sharing!.. Once a get a more accurate head count on the ladies I plan to put an order through. )  These look a lot nicer than the ones I've seen elsewhere. I think I'm going to do the same as you and go with black and cream. Or should I go with white? What was your reasoning for your choice colors?
