  1. You are a good fiancee for having that attitude! Fortunately FI has already completed it so he totally understands what's involved, but I can imagine that it could be quite the strain on a relationship without an understanding partner! I'm basically not thinking about the wedding! And we're doing a little mini bachelorette that night too. Test, gym, nap, party! Then I'll have one weekend to wrap things up, then I leave the following weekend for Grand Cayman! Good luck to your FI! I'm tackling level 3 too and will be so glad to have this monster (hopefully) finished!
  2. Well I have CFA coming up June 1st, so no wedding planning going on for me until then! But I'm pretty wrapped up anyway. One fun thing is that I came home yesterday and found a new pair of Christian Louboutins on my shoe rack from FI! Said "just because" and he thought I might want to wear them to the rehearsal dinner. What a great man I have! (And not just because he has good taste in shoes, lol)
  3. Ok thanks! I actually just need a couple to go along with my shoes optional sign at the ceremony and am having a hard time finding them locally. Will keep this in mind!
  4. I understand where you're coming from. The only time I really felt this way was when a few of my really close friends couldn't make it. 2 of them due to pregnancies, and one due to "financial constraints" (really it just wasn't/isn't a priority for her, which hurts). My mom has reminded me along the way that the people who are there are the people who wanted to be there badly enough to spent the time, money, and effort to be there - and that means a lot. Try to focus on that and you will feel better I think! And truly, at the end of the day, all that matters is that the 2 of you will be married.
  5. where did you get these beach mats?! cute idea. I would say that no, they aren't NECESSARY. If your budget is tight I think it's fine to skip them - I doubt that anyone is going to complain about not getting one! I just think they're fun and a nice little treat. I am probably more excited about them than my guests will be.
  6. I bought a charm from this seller for my bouquet (my grandparents - one side has their wedding day picture and the other has my favorite picture of the 2 of them as I remember them), and was VERY happy with the result.
  7. It's super annoying but so true, esp in the islands! Argh. Thank you!
  8. Originally I emailed a guy named Doug, [email protected]. He was on perma vacation or something so I called and most recently have communicated with Marlyn Ebanks, [email protected]. But I am warning you, they're not the most thorough people. If you ask 5 questions you might get the answer to 2 of them. I am also buying 5 or 6 liters of rum (for our welcome happy hour) and 10 bags of coffee (to leave in our guests' kitchens with a cute "love is brewing" tag) from them. I'm ordering on the phone a couple of weeks in advance, and then I'll pick them up in GC. But I meant they will deliver them to you in GC. Not sure if delivery is free or not. I'm just picking it up because I want to make sure everything is there.
  9. Ooooh sorry, I just looked back at my email and the $1.96 is 1.3 oz, or 2 bites. The 4oz ones are 5.95 each. I'm just going to call and place the order ahead of time and pay with a credit card. I think you can also have them delivered.
  10. They quoted me $1.96 USD for the little ones (they described them as about 2 bites to me). I'm paying in advance and then picking them up when I get there. Hope that helps!
  11. I got mine at bed bath and beyond! It was hard to find for me, too. They sell it on amazon but it isn't that cheap.

  13. I'm late to this party (as usual), but our RSVP date was March 1st and we still have people "thinking about it"...INCLUDING MY GRANDMOTHER. Now she's over 90 years old so I won't be offended if she decides not to make the trip...but I kind of need to know one way or the other. People are just rude. And I have no problem saying that because I've mever been inconsiderate enough to ignore an invitation to something - and if i happened to forget and got reminded, I would apologize profusely! Not ignore! But what can you do? Like everyone else said, not worth it! Those who are they will want to be there. I planned my OOT bags really early on (bc I sewed them myself and they were a huge pain in the *ss), so I have a lot of extra stuff. If I didn't, I'd just give the late responders a smaller or different bag with whatever I had left or felt like scrounging up. Maybe with a little note on etiquette. Hahaha.

  15. Thanks for the compliments on the activity books! Bought from this seller http://www.etsy.com/shop/SugarPieStudio for $5.50...a steal. And the crayons were from here http://www.etsy.com/shop/cioprints
  16. I got my activity books made (ordered the customized pdf on etsy, printed and put together myself), and the crayons I ordered to go with them came today - yay!
  17. Also, as I'm sure you've heard, be prepared to have to chase people down. I NEVER expected so many people I thought had manners to flat out ignore the RSVP date. We invited 147 and got RSVPs from less than half.
  18. Over on the OOT bag thread I posted the vendors and price breakdown. http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/81176/sewing-my-own-oot-beach-bags/20
