May 2009 Brides

I just love all the new ideas I am getting from this board. I cannot believe I didn't find it until a few weeks ago. The day I found out about Boudoir photo shoots last week I found a photographer and booked her for 4/11. I will have all the pics including 10 touched up ones by 4/20 so I can get the Blurb book completed and delivered by 4/30. The who's who letter is something I hadn't even thought about. It is a great idea especially since there will be about 27 of us in 1 house and most don't know each other. Thanks guys!!

Casey ~ will you save on shipping too since the whole package should now me lighter?

Well I made two calls today

~one to continental letting them know i am bringing my wedding dress--well they could really care less...i just find it hard to believe that there can't be a note made on my reservation that i a bringing this..I have to wait until I check in the day of..but as the man told me ' the flight attendents are usually nice and will try to help you out in anyway" Well what happens if i get a bitchy one!!!! ugh!

 

~well at least now my credit card company knows i'll be traveling in a month or so and not to suspend my credit card when they see charges from the Domnican!!!!

 

** I know it is a bit early to do this stuff but I am on school break this week and need to get stuff done NOW cause once I go back it will be insane..I have exams until May 8th and then my bach party Sat. May 9th and then we leave Monday, may 11th!!!!

no shipping cost saving... Since my order is over $100, I get free shipping anyway. They're sending me a sample of the 4.4oz bar and I should hopefully get it by Friday. So we'll see.

All of my guests are now booked! That's for both the flights and the villas! Woo hoo!

 

I keep going back and forth between paper and nylon parasols. I'm not sure which is better. It's the little things like this that drive me crazy. I guess I should just head into Chinatown and pick up whatever looks good so I can be done with it.

 

Can someone tell me why I scheduled my AHR 8 days after we get home from our honeymoon?! The day after I get home is my BF's shower and bachelorette party, so I don't even have a weekend to work on anything. Too much stuff going on! I love it all, but wish it was spread out a little bit!

Casey I think thats a bit cheeky about the chocolate. If they are smaller they should cost less

That's what I'm thinkin'!

i don't check the thread for a few days and i'm a few pages behind. lol

 

yael i love your favors, so cute!

 

my wedding schedule is:

ceremony - noon

pictures - til 3 pm probably

break to do whatever....my guests will have a longer break since i'll be doing pictures

dinner - 6 pm

poolside dancing and drinking reception - 8-10:30 pm

after that is where ever the party keeps on going...probably the hacienda

 

i've been told by my flight attendant friend that calling the airline about your dress is pointless. it's up to the cabin and crew of your flight what they do with your dress. but they always find space for it somewhere where it won't get too crushed

Thanks Nyssa! Im excited for them to arrive

Lucky you !!

I still have 4 guests not booked - no flights, no room... one of them is a groomsman, the other the brother of DH... Tomorrow I'll send a "one moth to go" e-mail with updates to our website for pretext, I hope it will shake them
