What a beast!!!!!!!!!!

I think they look awesome! I need a closer pic of flowers to tell about quality but they look good from here. The only thing you should try is to just put candles at the base rather than candles and shells. Just to see how it looks.

I don't know what is proper but I'd say it is evening. Where is the cutoff? Does anyone know?

Congrats and welcome!!

I was thinking of etching spray, not paper. You could just do a stencil of your new last initial with the spray.

That is what I'm hoping for. Quote: Originally Posted by host kate, can you bring stuff down on your site visit and have mariana hold them for you so it is less to bring before the wedding?

Those have totally sealed the deal for me - I must get these done! His reaction is priceless!!

Sarah - You are a DIY badass.

Amazing as usual!!!

I drink this tea from a local tea cafe called Slim/Balancer. It is a green tea with red dates and orange rind in it. It is supposed to curb your appetite. I don't really think it works any better than any other tea - it just tastes SO good I drink it every day!

I know there is something - search for etching paper. That might be what it's called.

Congrats!! I can't wait to see more pics and hear the full review.

Love them!! I think any time you have unifed look it makes a not so expensive invite look expensive. I think they look awesome.

Oh Sarah - you are so cute!!!! The shops are warm. The problem comes when you go to leave and it's raining and freezing outside. You can't slap on your socks and boots bc it will mess up the polish. These are supposed to keep you warmer when you leave.

This could actually be a constant thread with a million items in it, but I started it to show you girls these. Bootie Pies: Pedicure Boots For Posh Toes I've been complaining all winter how I need a pedi but don't want to have freezing, wet feet. If I find random extra money somewhere I'm getting these.

All the Cabo Dreams ladies - I am looking at votives, trying to decide if I want to bring them down or use what they have there. Are any of you/have you used votives as part of your decor? If so, how many are you using? The ones I'm looking at are $40 for 72 red votives. I don't know if it what route will be cheaper and I don't know how many I'll need.

Lol, Christine - I've made about 10 versions of myself with different hairstyles and outfits!! It's fun to make myself look that good!! Seriously. It's amazing how skinny and perfect I look in every outfit!!

Hey ladies - I just designed some of these for my 2 BM's and wanted to share the idea. They aren't super cheap, but I think it's a cute gift. Personalized stationery by Designhergals.com - Party Invitations, Stickers, Note Cards, and more. You design your friend and then pick what to print it on. I am getting them the notecards with their name at the top.

Welcome! I love adding Cabo brides!!! You can totally plan this in time. You just need to start making decisions and booking stuff. You need the date, the place, and the bigger vendors. Once that is done it's smooth sailing.

I actually went to the gym today - 35 minutes on the stepper and arms.

The other thing about laser is that some people I know grew hair back after they had kids - all the hormonal stuff made it come back. I think as long as your expectations of laser aren't too high it's fine. I assume that there will be a lot less hair for a while. I also assume that I'll have to start waxing again at some point. I just hope it will hurt less because there will be less hair.

Sounds like she's just flaky. Maybe she's one of those people who says they want to go, then as the time approaches just thinks hanging out at home is more fun. We've all been there - it's a cold, rainy night and you remember you said you'd go to someone's party and you have to get ready and be perky and you just don't feel like it. While most normal people just suck it up and go, flakes don't. I'm sure it' has nothing to do with you and EVERYTHING to do with her.

Quote: Originally Posted by Nrvsbride Anny and Kate I have a question. I want to do laser but I want to know what you do in between sessions. What I mean to say is if I do a session today and the next session is not for another month or two do you just leave the hair like that? Or do you wax or shave in the meantime? I want to do this but I can't imagine getting it on my face and then having to let the hair on my face grow for months before the next session. Wow I sound like a werewolf don't I? But you know what I mean. LOL. As for the face, Anny knows more there. I'm kinda wondering the same thing because I think I'm going to move on to that after I'm done with the vajayjay. As for the bikini line, you just shave. They actually tell you NOT to pluck or wax in between - only shave. My MOH had her face done before her wedding and she said it was never really a huge problem, just a little embarassing at times. But that does make you finish the whole process asap. With my bikini I keep getting busy at work and cancelling the appts - wouldn't do that if it was my hairy face!!!
