  1. Hey Thomasjsgirl, Congratulations....just curious are you flying out of Toronto? I'm also leaving for my wedding on Friday to get married on Monday and we're going to Gran Bahia Principe Punta Cana...we're probably on the same flight. How cool is that. Best of luck!!
  2. Hi Elizabeth, I'm getting married there in 46 days!! i'll be sure to bring back lits of pics so that you can have for your reference when trying to plan. Let me know if there is anything specific that you would like me to ask while i'm there and i'llbe sure to look into it for you. Anything i can do to help. I know how hard it is to plan without much help.
  3. I can totally relate in terms of not being able to sleep the night before, however it's because i'm a terrible flyer. I love to travel, but if i could get there by land or sea i would totally do it. I had a terrible experience once and since then have been terrified of flying, every little noise or turbulence make me squirm with fear in my seat. I also don't eat on flights, but that's due to fear and not embarassment. All i thinkg about is that there is nowhere else to go but down if something were to happen. Almost makes me wonder why i agreed to get married away. I'm so going to need something to knock me out for our flight.
  4. We actually went to purchase our wedding bands yesterday and the saleslady asked us about engravings. On the car ride home we were thinking of what we should put on our rings and we decided on something we call eachother all the time. SSOML --SunShine Of My Life. It's something we say to eachother all the time. We thought that this would totally make it personal to us and our relationship.
  5. There are some great ideas on here....i like the wii idea, but i want one so bad i might just keep it for myself...haha. We were thinking of doing a BBQ with a Gift certificate to a meat shop and a case of beer and some accessories, but since our party is being held in the fall, people won't be able to use their prize until the following year. We has also thought of raffling off a Flat screen TV, but everyone seems to have one of those nowadays...oh well. Thanks for all suggestions, keep them coming.
  6. Hello ladies, I'm not sure wheer else to put this and since we're getting married in Punta Cana....I thought to post it here. We are having our Jack & Jill/Stag & Doe in October and wanted to get some ideas for prizes. We want to do a large ($300-$400) gift for the main raffle and we then wanted to have smaller ($100) gifts for the various games we're going to be playing. Does anyone have any idea what we should get? We are buying these ourselves and want to make sure that they are something worthwhile that people will want to spend their money to win. We will be having an auction table as well which will have a selection of gifts in the $20-40 range. TIA Sonia

  8. Welcome. When is your date? I'm also getting married in Dominican on November 24/08.
  9. I'm interested in the fans. Could you find out how much it would be to ship to postal code M6N 1N5. thanks, Sonia
  10. As promised, here are the pics of the shower invites. I've inlcuded the link at the bottom. I've also included pics of the STD i sent out and the actual wedding invitations that Sarah designed for me. The only reason i saw them was because my mom was supposed to be mailing them out but she's been at the hospital with my Grandfather the last few days and i happened to stumble upon them. Thank god i did. Picasa Web Albums - Sonia - Jack'sFilipe'... Please give me your honest opinion....are the shower invites not terrible, am i crazy?
  11. I do have a dog and seriously considered making him pee in a cup so that i could spill it on the invites, but unfortunately he's housebroken and refuses to chew anything, so that wouldn't work either. ErinB - That's a good idea, i might actually consider this. LC_Rachel - i know that this probably shouldn't matter and people should figure out that their not my taste, the only problem is that "mom's friend" is not hosting the shower and really has not other part in the preperations, my mom and BP are. I feel like people will think they did the invites for me....and if i do thank her I'll have to sound sincere and that might make people think that i was okay with invites, when in reality i just want to point out that i had nothing to do with them. I know i should be grateful, but when you see these things, you'll totally understand.
  12. My mom has a friend who i get along with really well and i guess at some point she asked my mom if it would be okay if she helped with my bridal shower. She wanted to make the invitations for me since she likes that type of stuff. I've seen others that she's done for friends and she's really creative. Well she dropped off the invites at my place yesterday so that i could mail them out (i was not there). When i finally had a chance to look at them i thought i might have a Bridezilla moment....these things were horrendous. I mean, she basically used paper thiner than regular copy paper and did a gatefold....with a whole bunch a stupid stickers and useless beads. She used half of an 8.5x11 and didn't even use scissors to cut them. She tore them with a ruler! The wording is too small for the page and they all look different It's like she let here 8 and 5 year old kids do them. My bridal party had nothing to do with this and want to do up new ones, but the problem is I don't know how to tell her that they're Crap and need a really good lie as to why we had to make new ones. I don't want to tell her i hate them cause i don't want to insult her, or seem ungrateful. I've sent out the save the dates and the wedding invites and they're totally cool compared to these things she made, did she not see that i was going for the "casual/chic' feeling. How can i have new ones made and still keep the peace. I'd post pics but i'm at work and don't have my camera, will post later tonight with STD and invites so you can see what i'm talking about.
  13. After months on trying to decide what our first dance song should be we have finally found the one..."spend my life with you" by Eric Benet and Tamia. I didn't want to dance to a song that I always hear at weddings, so finding something less common was a top priority.
  14. Welcome, i totally know where you're coming from....i've been feeling that way for the past month and it's driving me crazy.
  15. ErinB, Great pics. You look stunning. Your flowers are amazing, can i ask you where you got them, they're just what i'm looking for.
