June 2013 brides- what are you doing?


Recommended Posts

We set our RSVP date of March 15 and did 2 weeks of follow-ups and still had people NOT RSVP.  I find that just terribly rude.  

 

I figure if they show up, they show up.  We are all adults and if they can't commit, one way or the other, then it is on them.

 

I too waited until I had a final heacount to order things for the OOT bags and start working on them.  I don't want to spend more than I have to, or have excess stuff laying around.  

 

I am doing a few extras just in case though.  If we have more peeps than the few extras I am making, they are out of luck.

 

Sounds tough I know, but.....

We have 46 guests booked.  My RSVP data was April 1 and so many people have not rsvp'd.  The worst part is that I waited until the RSVP to start my OOT bags because I didn't want to buy anything in excess.  I have now ordered the bags and started to purchase the items.  Suddenly we heard from people who are still "thinking about it" - I mean, almost 20 possible guests! I have two girlfriends who are teachers.  I understand their schedule will not be released until end of April but everyone else has no excuse.. I just think they don't realize what it takes to plan this.  If I run out of bags, is that ok to explain to them they were ordered a week after the RSVP date and we just didn't know they had plans to join us?  Or do I have to go out of my way to make them OOT bags?  

 

Anyone going through that??

Thank you guys.. of course I want them to come but I just have to get started with other projects.  I can't dwell on OOTs forever!  

 

We don't have songs picked out yet, we don't have center pieces, flowers, etc.. I am so overwhelmed and this is the last thing I need.  Ah!  even the ring bearer is thinking about it!  lol  

 

Also, guests can't book from our website anymore because our group rooms are sold out.  Each time they ask for a quote, I need to chase after rates for them.  Not cool... this is driving me crazy.. literally.. I have a cold sore, my face tingles (yes!  I had an MRI done! All good though).. really, people?  Work with the bride for a change!  lol

We don;t have our music picked out either.

 

I am knee deep in tons of DIY projects.  And I agree on not dwelling on OOTs.

 

Someway, somehow, it will all work out.  :)

 

Well, that is what I keep telling myself.

I totally understand and feel your pain. I have decided that whoever has not taken the time to RSVP is not going. Period. I have even gone to our website and filled in the info and kept my count accurate. I sent follow-up emails to those who we had not heard from and decided that their silence was the best answer. It's too much to worry about for me. I am in the process of moving to stay with family, move my furniture in with my fiancee (who lives in another state) complete my wedding DIY's and various other projects, and continue to work a crazy schedule. We do not know how long it will be before I get my official work transfer to be with him after we are officially married. My fiancee and I both work for the federal government and the whole world knows that the US government is basically broke, so it's a stressful situation all the way around. I'm going with a NO for those we haven't heard from and if they come to us closer to the wedding date and say they are coming, then good for them. Maybe they'll get an OOT bag, maybe they won't!

I agree! I guess I'm just too cut and dry for the bull crap. To me, if they didn't RSVP or book a room, I assumed its an obvious "no." I didn't follow up with or chase down one single person that I didn't hear from. I don't have time for that. I'm going based off of who is booked. It just makes the most sense to me- its Mexico! They can't come if they don't book. For everyone in our room block final payment is due April 24th so I feel pretty confident that if they are not booked by now they aren't coming. I know there are other places they could stay or even book with another TA but I highly doubt someone would be doing all that extra work themselves and not RSVP and if they do, then tough luck!... No OOT bag for them! Girls we all know how stressful it can be to plan a wedding and how everyone else seems clueless so honestly, lets just keep it fun! (And safe!!!! No more cold sore and MRI's!!!) :(

Ah! I'm so sorry!!! This is supposed to be an enjoyable time for you :(

 

We have about 14 people that are up in the air. What I'm going to do is, if I run out of stuff, I'll just by one-off substitutes. I.e. their koozie won't be like all the others...it will be something else I find or they're little bags may not be the same as the others. We are handing out our OOT bags at the Welcome Party, so if we run into "misfit OOT bags", I'll make a joke about it like, "if you received a koozie or bag that isn't identical to the others, that's your dunce cap for RSVP'ing a month from the wedding date". HAHA. If you just make light of the situation and make it fun, it won't seem tacky or rude.

 

To help "scurry" some of the undecided to a decision, I've told them that I have to submit a final head count to the resort by May 1st, which is true and makes the hotel the bad guy, not you.

 

But honestly, don't worry about it. When you start getting upset, just say to yourself..."F$%# it. I'm getting married in Mexico." The cussing releases my frustration and the second sentence always makes me smile :)

Thank you, Ladies.. you are all right!

 

I will continue to use my "sweating for the wedding" to release all the stress.  I won't worry about the guests who are up in the air.  Yesterday I had a great evening with my mom and she told me:  "When you worry about all the things that might go wrong just remember that no one will know or care because they will be in Mexico having a blast!" - Mom knows best!

 

I actually took the time to go back to page 1 of this thread.. we all came a long way!  wow... so excited for all of us!

I feel like all the actual wedding things (as far as decor, etc) are really coming together and there only a few things left to buy (thank GOD!!) but I just started to think more about the Welcome Dinner we are having as well as the Rehearsal Dinner and I'm a little overwhelmed... I feel like I want there to be a few simple decor items..... Ideas?!? I'm thinking maybe just flower petals, candles of some kind, and maybe pictures of my FI and I through the years or something..? Hmmmm... Anyone else bringing small decorations for these events or similar events?

Oy vey...I haven't even thought about anything besides the actual day! Gulp! Lol! I'm switching between moments of panic and moments of "all right, I've got this under control"...but usually end with panic! Lol!

    • [b]Сайт Кракен – лучшая торговая площадка Даркнета [/b] Сервис Kraken – лучший магазин Даркнета, где продаются разные позволяющие расслабиться препараты, фальшивые документы и деньги, можно заплатить за доступ к чужим личным данным и аккаунтам. Клиентам обеспечивается полная анонимность, а количество магазинов всё время растёт. [b]Покупки на Кракене[/b] На Кракене можно найти такие предложения: • Несколько видов наркотиков – от марихуаны и стимуляторов до ЛСД и кокаина. • Обналичка Bitcoin. • Взломанные аккаунты ВПН. • Услуги хакеров. • Паспорта, удостоверения, водительские права. • Банковские карты и симки. • Фальшивые купюры – в основном, 1000, 2000 и 5000 руб.. • Оборудование и приборы – от скрытых камер и жучков до флешек для взлома. На сайте можно и найти работу. Например, стать закладчиком, химиком или гровером. Можно стать продавцом. [b]Преимущества сервиса[/b] Причины для выбора площадки Kraken: • Полная анонимность клиентов и владельцев магазинов благодаря расположению в сети Onion. • Применение криптовалют в качестве денежной единицы. Это гарантирует анонимность всех транзакций. • Доступ к покупке сразу после оплаты. Закладки уже доставлены – нужно только забрать. • Минимальный риск мошенничества. Проблемы можно решить обращением в поддержку сайта, доступную 24 часа в сутки. • Система рейтинга, которая позволяет сразу отсортировать лучшие магазины. • Доставка в разные города РФ и соседних странах. Список доступных мест содержит сотни наименований. Клиентам сервиса можно бесплатно использовать дополнительные услуги. Круглосуточно они могут получить консультацию у юриста или нарколога. А если появились проблемы – обратиться в техподдержку, которая тоже отвечает круглосуточно. Ещё одна особенность сервиса – собственный форум. Вход из расположенной вверху панели сайта. На форуме есть основные правила, новости и информация от других посетителей. А ещё результаты площадки и раздел для общения доставщиков товара. [b]Способы перейти на Кракен[/b] Сервис, который продаёт психоактивные вещества и поддельные документы, запрещён контролирующими службами. И зайти на него, обычным способом не выйдет. Для доступа следует использовать зеркало, браузер Тор или VPN-сервис. Сервис ВПН – вариант, вариант, позволяющий обходить блокировки сайтов. В том числе – на площадки в Darknet. Преимущество метода – защита связи, возможность изменения данных входа только в браузере или всего компьютера. Недостатки – замедление скорости и небольшой размер бесплатного трафика. Второй способ – специальный браузер Тор. Чтобы зайти на Кракен понадобится специальная ссылка, заканчивающейся на .ONOION. Плюсы – отсутствие оплаты и принцип «луковичной маршрутизации», недоступный посторонним IP и отсутствующая история посещений. Минус – сравнительно медленный доступ. Зеркала сайта – тот же сайт, который расположен по другому адресу. Отсутствуют отличия от основной страницы. Есть возможность запуска в обычном браузере. Зеркальные версии будут работать, даже если временно недоступен официальный сайт. Недостаток зеркал – трафик не скрывается, а посетитель может попасть на фейковые страницы. Потому список зеркальных версий следует брать на надёжных сайтах. Есть такой перечень на наркошопе Kraken https://kraken-v2tor.info/magazin-kraken-v-telegram.html и тематических форумах. [b]Регистрация [/b] Чтобы пользоваться сайтом нужно пройти регистрацию. Это позволит совершать покупки, использовать форум и дополнительные услуги. Для регистрации нужно выполнить несколько несложных действий: 1. Зайти на сайт и указать проверочный код. 2. В форме регистрации ввести логин, пароль и имя. Логин – английскими литерами. Имя вводится и на русском. 3. Завершить регистрацию и подтвердить согласие с требованиями площадки. После регистрации идентификаторами можно пользоваться для входа в кабинет. Здесь показываются данные о заявках и оплате, предложениях скидки, настройки аутентификации. [b]Совершение сделки на сайте[/b] Совершить покупку на сервисе Kraken можно за несколько простых шагов: 1. Указать населённый пункт в выпадающем списке. По умолчанию там стоит место, выбранное при первом входе. Можно указать метро и район города. 2. Найти нужную категорию в меню слева. Указать вариант доставки – например, закладку или прикоп. 3. Познакомиться со списком доступных магазинов. Выбрать подходящий вариант и перейти на его страницу. 4. Познакомиться с отзывами. Если покупателя всё устраивает – перейти к покупке. 5. После перехода к форме заказа указать подходящий вариант. Это может быть Биткоин, карту или телефон и даже игру в рулетку. 6. Получить адрес клада и взять товар в указанном городе и районе. 7. Написать отзыв, чтобы другие посетители знали, что товар качественный – или были проблемы. 8. Запомнить магазин в «Избранное» чтобы было проще заходить из профиля. Покупая товар, стоит познакомиться с особенностями сделок. При появлении проблем покупатели могут открыть спор где будут участвовать админы. Правда, в первый раз купить можно только на криптовалюту BTC. Если выбран вариант «рулетка», открывается доступ к игре. Это даёт шанс заплатить меньше, делая ставки на поле из 100 клеток. Ещё один вид экономии – купон. Он подходит для оплаты не больше 50процентов стоимости покупки. [b]Гарантии отсутствия обмана[/b] Обращение на Кракен позволяет рассчитывать на качество продукта. Показать клиентам, что вещества соответствуют требованиям сайта, продавец может, заказав сертификацию. При прохождении проверки сведения о сертификате будут показаны вверху карточки. Гарантия отсутствия обмана – возможность подтвердить заказ в течение 24 часов. Когда покупатель убедился, что клад на месте, он закрывает сделку. Если возникли проблемы – можно открыть спор. Когда виноват продавец, средства будут возвращены клиенту. У магазина ухудшается репутация, а частый обман приводит к бану. Поэтому некачественного товара на торговой площадке практически нет Отзывы kraken shop Kraken маркетплейснарковалютная наркомаркет Kraken Рынок Кракен наркорынок Кракен в анонимной сети kraken market резервный адрес Kraken даркнет маркет Долгопрудный Площадка Кракен в тор Kraken даркнет маркет Сыктывкар Kraken даркнет маркет Арзамас Kraken даркнет маркет Владимир Кракен Казан Читаева магазин Kraken даркнет маркет Севастополь наркорынок на Kraken Веб-сайт Кракен Kraken трейдинг Магазин Кракена Kraken наркорынок Кракен сайт Москва как войти на сайт Кра?кен официальный

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
