My ring looks so dull, I didn't even get a chance to get it cleaned! Oh well. Ladies, I am so emotionally drained (i.e. all our paperwork that allows us to get married by the church was lost between the Archdioses in Tepic, Nayarit to the church in PV). I cannot wait to get to PV, hand over all my crap to my WC and relax! Here is my update.. My last day at work was tuesday Made luggage tags (don't know why since I don't know how I'm getting them out) Just finished my starfish escort cards spent 8 hours at the mall today and purchased WAY too much stuff to do: -wake up early and go to the $1 flip flop sale at old navy! -Find FFIL's tie -Find FI belt and leather flipflops for the reception -Buy purfume/ accessories/ shoes/ bathing suit for trip/honeymoon -figure out how to label meal selection for guests (either personalized menus add some sort of marker on the back of the escort cards, will probrably do the latter and skip menues all together) -make cd labels for personalized CDs (my FSIL is currently buring all 100 of them, hehe) -finish kid's activity bags -finish table numbers (printed need to be cut/glued, need to figure out how to stand them up!) -find flowers for MOH's and FG's hair (may skip) -Finalize day of itinerary for WC (including readings for church and assign "padrinos" -Create must have pics and wedding party guide for Photogs -decorate unity candle -Get pedi/mani, eyebrow wax -PACK!!!! (I have no clue how I am taking all this crap! And I leave on Tuesday!!! What I skipped: NO PROGRAMS!

I also used a logo with our initials.

I am a little late but Congrats Amy and Andy!!

I love, love the wall color

Yes, I was surprised! My cousin made the appt for me, I have never been there. The place is very cute and very clean.

I just got home from getting the full monty wax! I am sore, but it was VERY quick! If anyone is looking for a place to get waxed, I highy recommend Queen Bee Waxing Hans better LOVE his present!

VERY nice Abbie!

I can't imagine how much it would cost to have our reception on the beach in L.A. Yes, having 175 guests will be fun, but it triples the amount of work I have. I made about 150 luggage tags last night (kids are not getting one).

Quote: Originally Posted by Just Martha Sooooo adorable, Amy! I have a question I have been meaning to ask you, Amy. The 175 RSVPs...is that for your wedding in PV or are you having a AHR? That's a lot of people for a DW. You have relatives in Mexico also, right? Thanks Martha! The 175 is for my wedding in Mexico, no AHR here (the whole point for a DW was to avoid a 300+ wedding). I do have fam in MX, but only about 10 of my guests are already in MX everyone else is coming from L.A.!

Ladies, very quick. I HAVE to show of my FG dresses! I LOVE them!

Yay!!!! Baby Ainsleigh is here!!!!!

Hi ladies, I've been super busy and plan on posting a final planning post soon, however, I just completed designing these books. We have a ton of kids going and need to keep them entertained! I used a plain brochure (two-sided tri fold) template on Publisher and googled images/activities, however I did not keep track of any of the sites, sorry- well except for one Wedding Planning I love how they turned out and I think I spent way too much energy making them, lol. I tried uploading the template but it was too big, but I've attached the fonts. PM me for the template.

Happy birthday Sarah!!!

They are beautiful Amy!

Thank you so much ladies!!! I loved, loved option B, as many of you, but I felt that $200 was too much to spend on one bouquet, so I decided on C and asked for green orchids (as in D) instead of Hortensias (since these die fairly quickly in the heat). Maura- Its funny b/c I asked for Calla lilies and my WC suggested Alcatrazes as an alternative b/c they were more affordable. However, I am not a huge fan of this type of lily. Its rounded instead of coming to a green point like the others. In the pic, the flower is cut to a point I believe?? Anyhow, thanks again. And if it were not for the price, I would have chosen option B.

very quick thank you (i am at work). The prices are in pesos so 2000 is about 200.

Ann, thats amazing news!!! I am so happy for you! She is so tiny! I have one of those travel beds in my room (got if for a gift, never returned it and lost the receipt) so I can just picture how she would look in it!

Old Navy always seems to have cheap ones!

My WC sent me pricing info and descriptions of the bouquets I sent her. I really, really wanted a bouquet of calla lillies, but she says they are very expensive. So these are my options. Below is a pic of a single green anthirium which my MOH's will be carrying. TIA!

I agree with everyone. I'm sure your disappointed especially since you are required to book X amount of rooms at Playa Fiesta. PF looks great and personally I would love to attend a wedding and stay there, however, I am used to AI resorts. Others are not and would prefer to stay at a boutique hotel. We actually considered PF, however I knew my family would not stay there b/c it is not a big AI resort. I think you can offer them a few options. PF is in a good spot with other resorts near by.

She just sent me prices on other bouquets I sent her. I'll post as soon as I get a chance. I really should've taken the month off, lol.

This one has the green tip/point. The other is round.

What is the difference between these lilies? 1. 2.
