Centerpiece ideas:
I have yet to decide on my centerpieces or bouquet (I know, nothing like waiting until the last minute!!), but here are a few that I like:

Cake Inspiration:

We are having the bakery that is making our AHR cake make the starfish and shells for our cake in Mexico. We will transport them down with us. This was much better option than what the WC suggested, which was to put real seashells and starfish on the cake! EWWW!! The cake will be ivory color instead of the light blue.

Wedding Timeline:
I unfortunately do not have a pic of these and they are at my parent’s house so I am not able to get one before we fly out.

Bags are from Oriental Trading Company
Items inside bags:
Beach Towels (Meijer)

Guy’s Flip Flops (Kohl’s)
First Aid Kit (Dollar Tree)
Sunscreen (Dollar Tree)
Tylenol (Dollar Tree)

Tee shirts for all of our guests:
One of my friends had these created for our Co-Ed Bachelor/Bachelorette party and because many of the people there are joining us in Mexico, we decided to have more made for the guests who were not at our party so we all have matching shirts to wear the night before the wedding. The girl’s shirts are pink and the guy’s are black and they all say who is who (ie. bride, groom, bridesmaid, friend of groom, ect)

Back view:

The back says our wedding date and Riviera Maya, Mexico

Luggage Tags and Passport Covers for BM’s:
I lucked out and found these at the gift shop at the hospital I work at! The luggage tag has the girl’s first initial on it.

I know there are other things that I am forgetting to add, but this is the majority of my items!

Thank you to everyone for offering your suggestions, advice, and support, I certainly would not have been able to do it without this forum! You are all wonderful! See you all in a week or two!!
