Did the cost go up that much? -Glenda I am using Baja Weddings and they are doing everything from start to finish. I figured it was better to pay 1,500. vs 800. for the day of services that the resort was charging. The cheapest package for the firedancers was 660. with tax, but my FI wanted all the bells and whistles so we ended up with more expensive package. The price includes 2 dancers with 3 musicians for a 20 minute show.

Here is a very rough draft of our budget Lab fee 150. Wedding Cake 230. Judge 250. Harp & Guitar 350. Fire dancers 1,045. WC fee 1,500. Flowers 1,009. Photographer 1,800. Chairs ceremony 120. Food/Drinks 2,600. Dress 1,200. (hopefully) Taxes & Grat 1,034.42 Total 11,288.42 My FI and I are paying for..... Travel/Honeymoon 4,000. approx. OOT bags 400. Invites 250. Total 4,650. I still need to price the BM's gifts, GM gifts, my jewlery, FI attire, parents gifts, sparklers, cake topper, serving set, etc........ Total 15,938.42

Hope you girls are feeling better. I did cardio kickboxing and arms monday. Today I could only muster up 50 minutes of cardio.

WOW- Sexy Cabo brides!!! The pics turned out awesome, now I need to find someone in my area.

So, we compromised and put our names on them really small, so people could still use them again if they wanted to- but people definitely know they are for the wedding. Sarah, those turned out really cute! Nice job!

I just bought this dress recently. I hate to say it but I think this looks much better on me. I have a bit more to fill the dress with. BCBG Max Azria Watercolor Silk Kimono - Day - Bloomingdales.com

This forum has been a life saver! Enjoy!

Last week I worked out five times and this week 4 times. On my bday I tried to work out extra hard now that I am getting older .

Also, and this may be a dumb question, but we only have a Nano, do you think we should get the larger ipod for the wedding? Hi Beth- I am sure the Nano will be good, it does hold 2,000 songs. We have two of the Ipods and honestly I dont think I will ever fill it up! It looks like the Im7 and Im9 are made for Ipod brand.

Thats funny that you dreamed about a red dress too. Which is really weird I read this right now, cause I had another nightmare last night! Last night was bad, I was getting my hair done the day of the wedding and someone had cut my hair to have bangs! But really short ones, it looked like a boy hair cut in front and long everywhere else! It was terrible! Then i tried to take it down and fix it but my boy bangs just kept sticking up and I was like what stop the music, I am not ready!

I like the mini calla lillies, maybe in white?

We also have a small group 30-35 people.

I did just weights last night only. Arms, chest and some legs. I have to finish legs tonight and some cardio. Girls today will be my fifth day in a row working out!!! woo hoo, this is big for me!

I almost forgot. I called Bose company to see if they I could attach a microphone to their system ($300.)and they said no. Not unless you want to buy a very expensive system. (like over $1100.)

One of my BM's works at Plantronics and they make Ipod portable speakers. I think we are going to get the IM7 that plays the ipod. We figure its better to pay for the system and keep it rather than get a DJ. The good news is that you can also buy a microphone to attach to the speaker for speeches at the reception. Here is some advice from a guy who specializes in the audio section. Here is the company link Plantronics Home Page Glad to answer your questions. It is possible to plug a microphone into the Aux-in jack on either the iM9 or iM7. But it needs to be the right kind of microphone -- must have a 3.5mm jack (or use of an adapter to get to 3.5mm) and the microphone must NOT require an electric current (must be a dynamic mic.) We have not tested this, but on paper this should work. Which is better? Depends on the use. The iM7 puts out more sound and it has a built-in sub woofer, so you get natural, rich low frequencies. And the configuration of the speakers provides a wider sound Field (more room-filling sound). But it is not quite as transportable as the iM9. The iM9 sounds really great -- that is REALLY great! -- for a portable speaker system. It is designed to be more rugged for lots of travel. It does a pretty good job of filling a room with sound, but the sound field (the area of the sound source) is tighter than the iM7. The iM9 will charge and sync the iPod -- it likely that the user could locate the iM9 next to the computer. The iM7 will charge the iPod, but does not have sync'ing capability. The iM7 is truly an iPod sound system where the iM9 offers more flexibility of use with the iPod. Hope this is helpful. Patrick

Danielle- You guys look so good, I love it! Where did you order your place cards from? They turned out great!

Shoot! I can't play it at work, let will not allow us to look at myspace. I will check when I get home. We are having a harp and guitar for the ceremony, I just decided yesterday.

Last night was another night of killer kick boxing with that little b*tch! She is really nice but she kills me! Thats what I tell kev when i leave, ok now time to get yelled at by that little b*tch. HA! Tonight it is arms and some cardio. I read in my health mag yesterday that you burn more fat by doing weights first and then cardio. Unless you are training for a major long distnace race. grrrrrrrr i have been doing the opppsite cause the weight section is always packed after work. oh well i will just have to squeeze my way into the weight section.

Thanks for the tip. I never thought about running out of music, but now i will make a playlist for cocktail hour and after dinner.

Welcome and happy planning!!

So I didnt worked out at all this weekend I had guests over for the UFC fights. (We love to watch) Sunday we went to a huge superbowl party, so no gym. Did cardio kickboxing yesterday and was awesome. Today its cardio and weights!

I don't think you have to give favors, I think people used to give almonds or chocolate, but I have been to wedding where people just had the bubbles on the table and had a little note thanking them for coming. I think I will do favors just beacuse I like this one and my fiance does too. Those are cute. I am getting those for our favors, but I am putting them in the OOT bag so people dont forget them!

Question: Is her fee one rate?.... and the rest is what she charges to get the flowers, dj etc..? What a small world, I grew up in Morgan Hill. Even funnier, I was a gilroy garlic princess for the garlic festival! My family still leaves there, it really is a great place to raise kids.
