I'm in the middle of making some barefoot sandals right now and then some labels for our OOT tumblers. I only have 4 months left and I'm feeling the pressure. Other than tumblers though, our OOTs are still kind of empty because the resort provides most of the things that people would need. So I keep surfing the forums for some ideas. The only thing I know for sure I want is the tumblers..but I have having a horrible time finding them without minimum orders! I only need 35 max and most places start at 60+ and also getting shipping to Canada is never fun!

I agree..maybe there is a way I can just do it in a frame! by just printing out my wording and framing it??

This is such a great idea!! Totally going to check out your blog now!! thanks

I was debating on a garter....until I mentioned it to my fiance and he said that he really wanted me to have one! So I guess I have to start looking now!

Quote: Originally Posted by mallenbride Ya, it wasn't the best experience, but they agreed to just wait and get my deposit closer to the date...not sure how that will help. It was just a deposit on the package I think. They didn't really say. I was confused when I got the forms and asked what the deposit was for and she just it was just to hold the date and that it was $400. So now I have not paid any deposit and they are still holding the date...go figure. This is weird! I was told I didn't need to give a deposit until 3-4 months before my wedding date!

I cant believe how much time I just spent on it! While at WORK!! hopefully nobody noticed!

Quote: Originally Posted by mallenbride Hi Jannelle, I just want to caution you on the credit card info. I sent my info in a while ago to put a deposit down like they told me I had to do. I faxed it to them because they said I could (was only $400 I think). Then my card was comprimized! I had two flights booked on my card and one was going to Jamaica and the other was booked from Jamaica. I contacted the resort to tell them what happened and they assured me it wasn't anyone at the resort...ya right! Anyway, I had to change my CC number and I am not faxing them any more details. I will be mailing my info when I send it and hope for the best. That is horrible!! I was told that I had to mail them my info approx 3 months before my wedding date! And every time I ask them how much they need pre-approved for my down deposit they just tell me a percentage not an amount! I was told that I could NOT fax them anything and that only having it couriered was accepted now. Maybe this is the reason why??

Quote: Originally Posted by tricia-m Such awesome ideas! I am still so far away from finalizing such details. But the eager beaver inside of me wants to do everything NOW! I agree I feel like I should be doing everything now! but I dont even have final numbers yet, so starting on thinks like favors and welcome packages etc is getting way ahead of myself! But I am starting to organize things that I want to go!! So its a start at least

How's the planning going? So far, I only have a few things checked off my list: - supplies for barefoot sandals for OOT bags - tumblers for our guests - Bridesmaids dresses - Groomsmens clothes - My dress (thinking about getting a second dress for dancing, did anyone else do that?) - Groom's clothes - flower girl dress - real touch flowers for bridal party and decor I'm slowly starting to feel myself worry. Ahhhhhh This forum has been keeping me sane though, so a big thanks to the girls here! Where did you get your tumblers? every site I have checked out have a min order..which is much higher than what I need

Quote: Originally Posted by RachelHolmes21 I am pretty sure i am NEVER going to hit 150 posts. I have spent hours & hours reading threads, posting, etc. and i am not even 2/3 way done. ugh. I feel the same way! I spend sooo much more time reading than posting

Quote: Originally Posted by jypsejenny We chose pomegrant, medium silver and black for our colors. This is what my bridesmaid dresses look like. I like this dress! Where did you get it? does it come in purple???

You look stunning! Great dress! Quote: Originally Posted by lianne Morie Lee 1813. I wore it without the sleeves.

If you go to any sports store, I went to The Running Room, they have anti-chaffing roll on gels that seem to work fairly well when doing marathons. In Trinidad we used to use baby powder and put it between your thighs under your arms and anywhere else you're prone to sweat. The baby powder absorbs your sweat throughout the day and has a nice fresh scent A good idea would be to test both options out by applying them before doing some intense workout where you sweat a lot. You can then see which option works best for you since we're all different. Hope this helps! Hey MelB2012 I was also going to say try baby powder! That is was I am planing on using if needed!!

I like the dress plain but do it with some really blinged out jewelry!! Your dress looks awesome on you either way!
