These bags aren't as beachy as I would like. Have you seen them yet? If so, what did you think?

I got them a few weeks ago. I liked the fact that they were able to be folded up and put in a purse and/or glove compartment...or into our guests luggage. We loved the colors and you can't go wrong with the price. We love them.

Very true about the compactness! And the price is great! Maybe I wasn't so thrilled with them in the store bc they were all crumpled from people opening them.

Are there any wild and crazy deals to be found North of the border for the Canadian Brides? I know online is accessible everywhere, but sometimes shipping and customs can ding us

I believe they have a whole Canada Brides Forum with the "how to's" and "don'ts". I'd just look up "Canada Brides" in the top BDW search bar. Good Luck!

Yeah it's very nice, light weight. It isn't scratchy or anything, pretty much what you'd expect from a typical summer weight suit, only this one is wicking. Todd really likes his, he also got the stays cool white dress shirt. Now, obviously it hasn't been field tested yet, so I can't speak from experience. Our wedding is May 25th, so I can tell you after he's worn it on the day of. I don't want to risk something happening to it before hand, and I figured it's got to be better than a standard suit, and at 70% off we couldn't really argue.

here's the link to the one he bought

and then he bought this vest, it's about as close as we're going to get to a match. The color is spot on, but the tooth is slightly different, but nothing noticeable from a distance.
