I think they are so fun - and people will have them for years & remember our wedding

Ahh! I know! Two months exactly from today. What is so funny is that I am so totally done planning everything...just as all of my family & friends are deciding to make their plans. All of the sudden it's supposed to be news that they are "going to Cabo!" Ummm...yeah, cool. I'm sure this is normal, but I'm just way too busy with work to deal with my mom & her flight plans.

Natalie - I totally didn't think I would do anything like this. But, it was a very affordable special little touch that I think people will use for years to come & remember our event at totally random time in the future. I mean, seriously, who couldn't use something to keep their beer or soda cool??

Ann, I believe you can do a multi-color selection, but with the same print & color...here's a quote from the website: Hey Bob: Can I get different color Kustom Koozies and is there a charge for that? Another good question, Yes you can, limit 10 per color, and make sure the ink will be ok. For example don't order yellow and black coozies with black ink. Black with black ink will not look that great. You can order a minimum of 50 pieces of blanks per color. There is a single $10.00 extra charge for mixing it up. Put your color choices in the box for extra info at the bottom. In the event a color is not available another similar color will be substituted. This multiple color option is to give you some choices here. A substitution happens only 1 in 10 times and you may want to indicate your first choice in substitutions. We will not contact you in this event of a substitution. It will be a surprise. If this is not agreeable, I would suggest 1 color, where there are no substitutions. We are just trying to keep people happy.

Oh, Rebecca, that was very nice to see. I really felt the emotion & closeness of your group in those pictures. You are SO beautiful! You both look so absolutely happy Congrats girlie!

Cute Nicole! I kinda wish I had done the collapsable ones, but they didn't have the color I wanted in that style. Oh well, someone can carry the box for me )

Quote: Originally Posted by Natalie M I know I asked this before but are you buying a koozie for every person coming? Yup, that's the idea. Since I don't really know how many people are coming for sure, I went ahead & ordered 40 to be safe. It was $90 for that many.

I totally copied Rebecca's design! It wasn't even one of the originals I was looking at, but when I saw hers I decided I liked the saying & the sea shells.

Thanks Jules...yeah, exactly 2 months from today we're getting married. Holy crap!!! I'm excited/nervous/everything!

I thought about it at one point, but decided against it.

OOH, thanks for sharing Ana, that looks really beautiful! I like the delicate-ness of the thinner band. Which is funny, because I was initially looking at much wider bands.

OK, well I vote for #1 for you Ann because your E-ring is pretty elaborate & I think the plain platinum band will be perfect, especially since you said you don't want anything "too flashy." I am having similar conundrum...I am partial to sparkly things like some of the other girls. I'm considering getting 2 very thin eternity bands like this: OR, just a plain band....ARGH!!!

Yay, I'm glad you got in on this Janet! I am going to send her my current price list since it's for 2007. But I agree, I think this is the kind of place Amber is describing

Here's our koozie Ann. Pardon the bathroom sink background!

Oh yay! I've been wondering about you & when we were going to hear all the details. Thanks for the thorough review. Everything looks amazing - you & your hubby make a gorgeous couple. Congrats!!!!

I contacted the hotel directly early on to make the arrangements. So, just to be clear, the SITE FEE ONLY is $10pp. In addition you are looking at the following costs at Cabo Surf: $7 per guest chair rental (used for both ceremony & reception) $6 per guest for the cake $16 (approx) per guest for hors d'euvres $46-66 per guest for dinner (depending on your menu selection) $40-50 per guest open bar (depending on your time/liquor selection) All in all I am spending approx $130 per person for our event. If you are interested in the catering price list & contract I have, let me know & I will email it to you.

This will be a last minute project for me, so give me a few weeks & I promise to post pics. No take a chill pill woman!!

Amber, In terms of uncrowded beach - you are best to look at location in the corridor & San Jose del Cabo, like Marbella & Cabo Surf. I'm getting married at Cabo Surf & I believe the site fee is only $10 per person if you do not have a minimum # of rooms booked. Really not bad.

The color is a little "greener" than I thought it would be, but it's totally cool. I guess I never told my FI about that little project...he thought they were the coolest!

Jilly - not that this follows any generally accepted accounting principles or anything, but you can exclude your dress from the wedding budget & it makes it a lot easier to swallow!!

http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t933 Above is a link to our "Budget" thread where a lot of us have shared our budget items/costs. That should help you.

OMG, you girls are so cute! I know, Stephanie! I'm jealous I wish we were all close enough for a full on get together. Anyway, HOW EXCITING girls!!! I'm so proud of you for doing this boudouir thingy. If I didn't have 16 year old step-son in the house I would totally do it - just paranoid about what he might find...can you imagine?

Hey girlies, I just got my shipment of koozies!! Yay! They basically look just like Rebecca's, but they are aqua in color. WOO HOO!

Well said Sarah & Ann, I totally agree with both of your responses. Forget what anyone else says & send invitations to the people you were inclined to in the first place.
