Crate & Barrell does this too!

sure thing - here it is! i believe i "borrowed" the original document from Sherri i think - so credit goes to her too! i changed the clipart and colors, but the layout was hers. Newsletter2.doc

oh wow - you're doing a Sunday wedding, i didn't realize that (even though you said it! lol). out of curiosity, how did that work - isnt' it like double the price? do you get to name your own times now, since they don't have other tours to worry about?

hey Lizzy! i had 2 vegetarians at my WD so i requested 2 special meals. my wedding was a buffet with plenty of options, so i didn't have to worry that night. but for my vegetarians, they both eat fish - so that's what they were served. my sis (the vegetarian) often eats some fancy portobello meals - often prepared the same as the meat being served, just with a mushroom!

i was married in PV - but i have a newsletter like thing i put in the OOT bags if you're interested.

YES! I found my dress at a swanky bridal salon, and at Macy's - it was like $400 (or more?) cheaper at Macys, but I really liked that the salon knew what they were doing, etc. Anyway, the salon matched the Macy's price - so I was able to purchase it from there! I would bet they meet the lower price.

oh, and i don't have my pics yet - there's one in my avatar, and then i do have a slideshow - let me know if you wnat to see that

i don't have any trial pictures - didn't take any - but my WC arranged to have my hair done at a place called L'Occoco (I could be off on that spelling) - they're downtown. She did a great job - and after a last minute snafu, she also ended up doing my makeup - I believe the woman's name was Anja

congratulations!

welcome to the forum - let us know how we can help! and we love to see pictures ... have you bought your dress yet? what about the ring?

wow, you guys have been busy! i go to a soccer game, then out for a beer - and look what's happened! maria, i started a spreadsheet while reading through this thread - but it's probably better ifyou keep track, sicne people have already started PMing you. i kind of went off what people said, and then Glenda's list. the PM will make it an official order! thanks for handling that, maria! as for paying me - we can do whatever is easiest. i do have a paypal account - and if you already have one, all i need to do is give you my email address - that's how you pay me. now, i've never had to pay a fee (unless your funding source is a credit card, mine is my checking account). but when i sold my fans and the person paid me via paypal, i was chared a fee - and i have no idea why. maybe this person used a credit card to pay - but not sure why i was charged. not a big deal though, just make sure you read. almost everything i bought for my wedding on eBay was paid for via PayPal - and i never paid a fee. but if you prefer to pay w/a check in the mail, that's cool too! i am totally fine with just paying for everything upfront w/my CC - and then you gals just paying me back. i trust you all! i can pay for it all, split the $10 among everyone, and then let you know how much the individual shipments are. if someone would rather do COD (cash on delivery!) i am sure i can do that too - never tried shipping something that way though!

eh - it took me about 4 years to go back to my maiden name after i was divorced! lol

well, hello!

don't put the website url in the mountain icon - right click on the pic itself and then select properties - then grab THAT url.

Cash On Delivery - sorry! i'll do whatever you gals like!

i won't be - i wasn't legally married in mexico!

for the most part you can do everything seperately. there MIGHT be some things that require a picture ID w/the new name, in that case you'd need to wait for your DL or passport to come back w/the new name. but i can't imagine that will happen. evreything is seperate! almost everywhere will likely ask for a certified copy of your marriage license - that's all

If they shipped to you, you would send it so we paid apon reciept though, right? you mean like COD? i've never done that. i was planning on just paying for it and getting reimbursed - but i could do wahtever makes sense! that is, IF i do this ... just waiting for a decision! lol

it's not too late - i don't know that any decisions have been made yet! the question now is, if i understand correctly, does everyone pay $12 for them to ship directly to you, or pay the one $10 fee to ship to one person (me?) and then i turn around and ship them to everyone individually (maria is estimating the cost around $6-8 i think, plus supplies - but don't quote me on that!).

i'd definitely say before the wedding.

oohhh - good idea, i'll skim a little off the top! lol - i actually thought about getting one or two if i do this!

we weren't originally going to register for anything. then when my MIL and SILs said they wanted to throw me a shower (wasn't going to have one), they convinced me to register. so we probably registered in April ,since the shower was in May, for our June wedding.

oh, and did i mention my $5 processing fee for each order? (kidding)
