I would love to overpack but the costs of checking a 3rd and subsequent bag is crazy anymore so I am only taking the bare minimum because my FI will be the problem. For Christmas, my Mom got us Mr. and Mrs. luggage tags and they come in 3's. (2) Mrs. and (1) Mr. so my mom took a piece of white double sided tape and covered up the s in the Mrs. so it was (2) Mr. luggage tags because he is so bad.! LOL.

They are great mugs! Turned out awesome!

I just wanted to yet again say thank you for this AWESOME idea for the mugs! I got them, got cardstock paper and printed on them like you did and they came out so great! And cheap too! Thanks again! I'm hoping to post pics soon for others to see, but just wanted to let you know this was a big stress for me until I read your post and then "stole" your ideas, so THANK YOU. Nicky

So my OOT bags are OFFICIALLY done! And, they are packed and ready to go! I put everything into 1 suitcase and it weighs 49 pounds on the button! I put a lot of my stuff in those bags where you suck the air out of them which seemed to free up a lot of space, but it really stinks that 1 whole suitcase is just "stuff." I am determined to pack light- In reality I only need 6 outfits and bathing suits, right? I picked my dress up this past weekend, but I am going to do some last minute clothing shopping and I totally forgot until I read an previous post but I too need sand holders. I have the frame but now I need to find some cute vases. I did, several weeks back, look at Michaels and AC Moore but didn't see anything fun. Anyone else have any ideas on where to find something like this? I'm so excited...9 days until I leave and how exciting for the other girls who have already left. I can't wait to hear back from them.

MntoMx February 3rd (tomorrow)!!!!!! Torilynn February 4th!!!! emives February 9th Bride2012 February 14th Missmely February 18th Mowrer1943 February 18th

Congrats! Yay! So exciting...

1st off Bride2012....your dress is amazing and it does fit you perfectly!!! It looks gorgeous! As for your pictures, you are being over critical because they are AWESOME! I loved all your different outfits and looks! You looked amazing and totally natural! I LOVE pic #13- that is absolutely gorgeous! Congrats and your FI will love it, that I'm pretty sure of :-) Nicky

MISSMELY, your ring is gorgeous! I got 2 more little projects done tonight, and have one big one to go- labels for the cups I just got today. Got my flowers today as well! I LOVE them. They are just perfect! It felt like Christmas morning when I walked down from work and saw all the boxes at my back door! LOL. My band arrived yesterday and I love it. It's so bright and shiny :-) It seems like everything is coming together and after this weekend I'm going to feel even better b/c I'm a woman on a mission!!! Here's my band! Here's to another day closer to leaving :-) YAY!

I've heard a lot about this insanity program but have no idea what's it about!!! I too don't seem to have a lot of time lately :-) to exercise but I committed myself to doing yoga at least 3 times a week for the next 3 weeks till I leave! I started today and felt pretty good but it was obvious I hadn't done it for a while- LOL. MISSMELY, all the little things are just simply just a pain in the arse arent' they? You think you are getting things accomplished then BAM you realize you have a ton of other little things to get done! I realized today, though, I can pretty much pack a while because I'm not wearing any summer things right now, so I plan on starting that this weekend. I'm hoping to get so much done this coming weekend I won't have anything to do my last 2 1/2 weeks. HAHAHAAHA. Yea right, but hey, one can dream!!! MISSMELY, good luck with your photo shoot! I'm sure it will be great- just drink a glass of wine or 4 :-) Let us know how it went! Nicky

I'm not sure how I missed this post for SO long, but I too am getting married in a few weeks! Feb. 18th at SGOR and I'm getting super excited, and nervous too! I read this forum several times a week and realize how behind I am. My OOT bags are ALMOST done- LOL, waiting for cups yet and have a couple small decorating things to finish up. My wedding band is arriving tomorrow...Am I the only bride who waited 3 weeks before the wedding to get her band? I still don't have a rehearsal dinner dress- waiting for the stores to get some Spring dresses out- that's the crappy part about getting married in Feb, huh? Everytime I think about it I start to feel overwhelmed with all the small things that need done that are adding up...Sigh. Anyway, I'm glad I found this post because I'm going to stalk it everyday and see if everyone is feeling the way I am and what you all are doing to handle the stress of "it" finally being here! Here's to the Feb. 2012 brides!!!!

Thanks! I'll put something together then adjust it when I get the cups. Thanks again for all your information and the awesome idea! So relieved as I was going to try and decorate cups myself and I know that would have been a debacle! LOL.

Thank you so much for taking the time to clarify that! Yes, that was very helpful and I'm sold now! Thanks again! I just ordered them through Oriental Trading and this will be my last project and then my OOT bags are done. Thank the Lord! I'm so ready to just be done, as I'm not very crafty, and since my Mom usually does all this kind of stuff for me it's been rough, because I'm keeping it a secret from her. So thanks a bunch! I can't wait to work on them. Any chance you have the dimensions of the paper that goes inside of them? I want to get a heads start on doing my template because I'm down to the 3 week countdown :-) Thanks again! Nicky

I have been having a heck of a time trying to customize my mugs without paying an arm and a leg and THIS IS GREAT! My only question/concern about the mugs is this....How do the paper inserts not get wet when drinks are poured into the cups? I'm visualizing there is an edge around the cup where the paper gets inserted so I'm "seeing" when the bartender pours the drink in the liquid itself getting down that crack and ruining the paper insert. Is this a concern or am I way off with how these cups and paper inserts work? I look forward to hearing back on this because I'm so hoping these mugs are the answer for me!!! Nicky

And kudos to you for walking in those heels down the rocks. I love that pic. You look so cute and he looks so helpful- super cute :-) I've got flops already but after seeing your pics I may get a pair of heels....hmmmm. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Thanks so much! This is exactly what I was looking for. And it can travel! How much sand did yours hold? About 2 pounds? I too am having a reception when we get home so I think this will be beautiful to display at the reception! Thanks again! Nicky
