Here's another question for you guys I was wondering how far in advance did you book for rooms? My travel agent said that prices will go down as the year goes on, so not to book so soon, maybe in 5 months. Is that how you did it?

Someone said Office Depot has a lot of travel size items

We had one of our cars broken into last summer and they took a check book. The bank said they put a stop on the checks in that check book. Nothing happened right away but after about 3 months we started seeing these checks for $100-$400 coming out of his account. The bank was very nice dealing with the situation and we found out it was someone in the Military because they used a Military bank and they were buying things off craigslist with the checks.

I am so sorry! That's horrible

When our cat went through it, the hardest part for him was the 12 hours of not eating. He tried to eat anything he could get at! It's funny now but not then.

I think when you reach 150 posts there should be confetti Happy Monday!

This site is wonderful because you get to connect with destination brides that have gotten married, destination brides that are planning their wedding, and even vendors! I love it and it has been so helpful!

Thank you so much for the forum! This is so helpful!

Trying to stay at or under budget is hard enough without having people inviting guests on their own. I would totally be upset!

that is pretty funny! Will have to text that to my fiance today

@@csho Good advice!

I was worried about flowers from the resort also. I had asked some brides that were already married at my resort and they said they have so many more options once you get to the resort and can sit down with the wedding coordinator. So maybe talk to other brides or even your resort wedding coordinator?

I am for sure going to check out Beso Brides! I love airbrush makeup for weddings

My colors are fuchsia and navy blue. I was thinking about having my mom and his mom wear navy blue and having my sisters wear fuchsia. I am not sure how to even ask his mom if she wants to go dress shopping with me or if she will wear navy blue. She lives 6 hours from us, so it would be a whole trip if we did go dress shopping for her together.

@@nicofio22 You are so smart! Wish I would have done that. I knew he had the ring since Oct 21 but didn't get it until Dec 22. I could have totally had 150 by then.

That is so funny!

My fiance asks me everytime I start to stress out "want to elope?" That seems to get my head back on track and helps to settle down all the nervous butterflies. No matter who comes, where your wedding is, at the end of that day you will be married to the man that has your heart and that's what is important or least that's what my friends keep telling Happy planning, Kristen.

My bestfriend was the first problem I came across. She won't come to my wedding because we are having it in Mexico. She is too scared that she is going to be robed, taken hostage, or whatever else. My heart was broken for months over it. And since she told me she wasn't coming she has had no part of any of the planning and has barely talked to me. Next problem was his aunts. They travel all over the world and go on lots of vacations every year but told us they weren't sure if they are coming or not because they don't want to leave his grandmother alone. Grandma is fine but I do understand she is older and may need one aunt to stay with her but there are three aunts and they all are married. We picked a destination wedding so both of our families could vacation together and really get to know each other. We really do want one big happy wedding and that's what you have to stay focused on.

This is why we aren't having bridesmaids or groom's men. Just keeping it simple!

@@beccafries The date and the resort has been the most stressful but after that it's all the fun stuff

How much for all of them?

I never thought about putting towels in the welcome bags...this is a great idea!

That app is so cool! I want it!
