Oooohhh - I could trade it for things. "I'll give you 2 lip balms for 1 Pina Colada."

I know! But the way I go through lip balm, I figure I can use the ones I don't give out - I'll just be handing them out to anyone I see; waiters, beach goers, etc.!

I had thought of this idea for a OOT bag gift, but came across this site recently and thought I'd share. It seems like a pretty decent deal, and they even have designs you can use, or I think you can create your own. They also seem to have a handful of color options as well.

Natalie - are you thinking of getting together with Leigh when she's in Chicago?

Natalie - it should be in the first post, can you see it?

Her pics look great and decent to low prices...any feedback would be great! When I was researching photographers, she was on my list, and I have noted that I got her name from The Knot. The only other note I have is "Packages for destination Weddings start at 3,000.00us plus the travel fees involved"

Quote: Originally Posted by TAMMYM Ann do you plan on giving your lugage tags out before the wedding? I haven't actually ordered any tags, or thought much about when I'd give them out. I was thinking either just putting them in the OOT bags, using them as place cards, or just including them with the invitations. Not sure yet.

Welcome Jason - glad to have a little more testosterone on this site! It sounds like you have one of the hardest parts out of the way, choosing a location! Now once you have the actual site - you're golden. So if you're eloping - do you plan on having any guests at all? I have to admit - that idea is pretty tempting!

I don't think I will do favors - but probably just the OOT bag - which will have some fun things in it, probably something w/the wedding date or at least our names (koozies, water, luggage tags, etc.)

Oh, but WE better not have to wait! Did you get any pictures of you in the dress? We want to see!!

I tend to agree with Tammy - I don't plan on following any "rules" of any sort (other than the legal ones!). I want to do what means the most to me, and Paul , of course!

I'm not really that superstitious (sp?) or traditional, but I probably will, I just don't know what yet, maybe ... Something Old = my necklace I wear daily - it was my grandma's 25th wedding anniversary present from my grandpa Something New = ditto - could be many things, like the dress Something Blue = I am thinking of having blueish jewelry or "bling" on my shoes Something borrowed = TBD

what's "work?"

Welcome, Amber. You definitely came to the right place to get your questions answered - and Tammy gave you some great advice already. I'd suggest spending some time reading through everything on this forum, and then letting us know what questions you still have. The ladies (and few men!) on here are so helpful - you'll be able to pull of your dream Cabo wedding with no problem!

Welcome! Glad to have another RM planner here ... and another Chicago-ite! When did you get engaged?

This is the song my FI picked for our first dance - he loved the "tropical" feel to it, and since we're honeymooning in Hawaii, he thought it would be perfect! LOVE, love love this song!

I really want to walk down to Israle Kamakawiwo'ole's version of "Somewhere over the rainbow". It's from the 50 first dates soundtrack. It has a beachy feel to it. I was curious as to what music you guys are playing when you walk down/or you played when you walked down the aisle. -Glenda

I got up this morning and did something - I just walked for 30 min. on the treadmill, then some situps. Not great - but it's a start. Maybe I'll work my way to running ... but for now walking is better than nothing!

For all those ladies still dress shopping ...

Wow - you've got some great pictures! Beautiful!

Welcome Nikki, and congratulations on the engagement! It sounds like you're off to a good start on choosing the location - to me, that's the hardest part. Let us know how else we can help!

Mad About You - and I can't imagine if that happened! I guess you'd have to laugh it off - but yikes!

There are actually quite a few of us, we were going to try to get together the 2nd weekend in Feb. (or was it the first weekend, I can't remember) for a little Happy Hour type thing. Maybe we could do this instead ... would a group thing work? I think it could be fun! Headline: BDW Brides Take Over Chicago!

Lingerie party in Chicago! WOOT WOOT!!! Careful Leigh - we may not let you leave Chicago!

Natalie - Leigh is coming to town to visit a friend, but while she's there I am going to try to get some engagement pics done, and possibly b-pics as well. How cool would that be if she had time to meet with you too! Leigh - Natalie lives just a few blocks away from me, if that matters at all.

Nope - I got up at 4:30am to catch a 6:20am flight. Yuck. And I won't be working out tonight either! But tomorrow am I better ... check with me again tomorrow! And yes - the thought that I just might to a d-pics session has me motivated!
