Margaret-the second one is so cute-I love it.

I heard they were doing a line of hair extensions, I was thinking about getting something to make my updo easier...hmm I'll have to take a look.

so glad they are exactly what you wanted-I can't wait to see pics.

try this thread Amy's are really great http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t3637 also the really long STD thread has all of our STD's in it so that might help

why don't you go with Son of MOM'S NAME and the late DAD'S NAME that way it doesn't look like the mom is no longer alive too. I know ettiquette says that men go first so if you are worried about that, then put them on two seperate lines like Son of the late ______ and Ms. _________

happy happy birthday-do something fun today!

Melissa, we also put on our website that our main priority was saving for a house and that we opened a special savings account for it so that people could donate to that instead of actually buying a present.

oh thanks Melissa-I don't think I can use them now because the hotel won't let me have an open flame, so I am glad I didn't buy them, but they will be great for Kay's AHR

Ann on another note, they have some more flowy dresses at the Black/White store, even a few on sale.

Ann that is the dress I wanted to order from J Crew and that is the original price of the dress (the e-bay one)

sorry to hijack this, but I didn't want to start a new thread so I talked to one of my BM's last night and she got married two years ago and she said it was completely wrong to ask people to RSVP 2 1/2 months early-I don't want to buy two cent stamps mainly because they are ugly and they will look funny with my cute photostamps. what to do?

Although my FI has said he wants me to do what "I think is best", I think he would like to include his father on the invite....I could put: 1. "Son of Linda and Edward K....." or 2. "Son of Linda and the late Edward K...." But I don't know if I like either of those options. The first one seems a little deceiving, and the second a little depressing for an invite. What do you guys think? We will of course mention his father in the program, and perhaps light a candle in his memory at the cermony. Do you think then, that it would be more appropriate to leave his name off of the invitation and just put his mother? when my cousin got married both her dad had passed away and so did her husbands father, both mothers were remarried and they did include their late fathers on the invite and I didn't think it was morbid, I thought it was a nice tribute to their fathers. It made my grandma really happy to see his name. but if you want to keep it all upbeat why not just go with "Parents" like Ann's

oh yeah-I totally had a similar problem, which for me resulted in me changing my destination to a closer one for my family and friends. It was really important for me that they all be there-which for you it doesn't seem that way, you may want to see if they would rather you have a small gathering at home to celebrate so that way no one feels like they have to go.

I feel deeply disturbed that I just saw that!

oh Andrea, I hope you will be able to do it sometime, it would have been so fun to have you there.

I say wait, I know its hard, but I think in the end you will find the whole event will be so much better done right and will all the people you want to be there.

Melissa, you would have to pair people up before hand and obviously pair up people who don't already dislike each other-I think it might be a lot to do at the reception, plus you don't want people to leave the reception. If you want to do this as a get to know the resort and the group event, do it early on. And if people don't want to do it, like a certain FSIL...then they can just not be a part of it.

WINE CORK CANDLES - ROMANTIC DINNER AMBIANCE | UncommonGoods

oh you should get the wine cork candles and put those at the top-those are adorable, I am sending my BM a pic of those right now because I am having a centerpiece dilema now! good idea!

Toby can you compromise with your MIL and ask her to wear the dress to another wedding event like the welcome dinner or something. As for your BM that is just plain rude, why would she want to wear a dress from someone elses wedding, I think you should try to find a cute dress she can wear again, but one that fits the style and colors of your wedding. Your FI and his Father should be wearing something simliar, end of story.

I think that is a great compromise...you two should have a successful marriage if you can work out these sorts of things.

welcome you have come to the right place-we have a lot of Las Caletas brides here.

I too am an aquarius that that fits me so perfectly its scary, and rather funny that both my wedding and bach party are revolving around wine...since I don't really drink at all.

you could always just say together with our parents or the families of _______ invite you... I don't think you have to include your parents. My parents are paying for the whole thing so I am including them on my invite, but honestly if I wanted to not include their names I don't think they would have cared.

yes that is the site I ordered my candles from, thanks Melissa.
