January 2009 Brides Post Here

Good job Seaprincess! I hope your shower is extra fun!

I just had two, one with my former coworkers and a surprise one my mom and maid of honor threw for me when I was recently in back east to visit them (I cried for the first half hour because I'm not good with surprises haha). It was full of games with sexual innuendo, WINE, hot tubs and people being thrown in the pool!

Our invites went out in July and we now have 19 people booked with a few stragglers left.

We are getting ready to move so we're holding back on ordering our favors (embroidered beach towels!).

For our guest book, we are going to have everyone save their boarding pass from the plane trip and we will put it together in a scrapbook.

My bridesmaid dresses should be coming in October...and hopefully my dress too!

Cheers to all the January brides for getting the bulk of the job done! Here's to 3 1/2 months till the white sand beaches!

Will you post a pic of your orchard wall seaprincess?

They decorated the place with tropical flowers, beach stuff, etc. and had everyone wear vacation/beach clothes. It was a lot of fun and I was very touched. I'll post a couple pics if i can figure out how!   I have a question about invitations: What rsvp date is everyone giving? I sent out SODs back in July, and will send a reminder email to book rooms Oct. 1 (the rate is only guaranteed until Oct. 15), so I was viewing the invites as a formality, which we'll be sending out Nov. 1, and was planning on putting December 15 for the rsvp date for my Jan 25 wedding. But I'm thinking maybe I should put December 1, just so I know by then, in case there are any stragglers. The woman at the stationery store is against it (I guess from a strict etiquette standpoint, it's not proper, but I think with a destination wedding, etiquette is more flexible). What do you think? Thanks!!!

YAY for bridal showers! Please Please Please post pics!!!! Just get a photo bucket account! I`ll find the instructions…

As for your RSVP - I agree with kate.com – October first is fine. Especially if you can`t hold the room rate past Oct. 15.

I'm sending out the invites within the next 3 weeks

OMG = So Fun!!! Yay!

SeaPrincess: bridal shower YIPPEE!!!! That is awesome! Please be sure to post pics after the weekend!!!!

As for me - I have been delving full force into writing thank you cards from my shower... I am running out of time, being that my mother has imposed a rule that they all must be out within a month of the event.... So far I have written 86 ..... 86 i figure I have about 20 to go....

This weekend FI and I leave for a week of golf in the Muskoka's (a region in Ontario) I am SO looking forward to it...

YAY...

big hugs to all...
