That makes sense. Well keep in mind for the rest of the stuff we’re going to print.

 

BTW- Mention to FI about the photo website he love the idea  thank you. I think he only see we're not spending $$ on that. So now we save the cost on Cameras..

Sarong.. You can always use it again.

You know most people will have their phones and cameras anyway. It's always something that my family is famous for. Taking photos and i never get to see them!! This will solve that! lol

That's a great idea, we need to talk about that. So far I just paid the deposit to reserve the date and he's like "oh yeah, let me know whenever I should give u money"

Next question/ Statement: I DID NOT know that bed, bath and beyond allows you to use expired coupons!!!! I think I might get my travel stuff for the welcome bags from there. Was anybody else aware of this?

 

Lastly: There are a lot of sales on theknot.com, exclusive weddings, etc.  For my gifts to my bridesmaids, I want to do silk robes, a cosmetic bag, and a nice tote bag. What are your suggestions for gifts?

 

(As you can see, I am off today and I am spending it shopping  )

 

have fun!!! and thanks for the sale info

How many days did you reserve for your room block? Our wedding is on a Friday so I was thinking Thursday thru Sunday or Wednesday thru Sunday ...

 

And how many rooms should I request? We are only inviting 22 people and not sure all are coming but I guess we should assume everyone is to make sure we have the rooms held? Only 5 couples and everyone else is single. I wasn't sure if i should request one room per single person or ask my friends if 2 girls and 2 guys want to share a room?
