Drea could post a list of who participated in the draw. Then, when you each get your gifts, you could look at the list and compare it to your 'clue' and post a message with your guess at who your SS is.... That sounds like fun. Huh, I have no idea what I would send though, I need to try to think of something creative.

I live in Barrie, I just moved here from Toronto a few months back. Are you going to be living there?

I started back on my diet & exercise routine last monday, I think I've done better in the past week then the entire year I was trying before the wedding, so sad! So, I'm aiming for 4-5 days of some type of exercise each week and following weight watchers. last week I did my turbo jam video, turbo sculpt video, 3 mile walk/jog with the dog, & cindy crawford video. This morning I did turbo jam again. And then I weighed myself......I lost 7 pounds!!! Holy crap!! Probably losing all of the weight I gained during the wedding & honeymoon eating and drinking,lol! Keep up the good work everyone! Lets start checking in again more often! Wow, 7 lbs, that is amazing Jill. Way To Go!!!!!

I started a new diet yesterday (very strict-not fun lol) I did one hr of circuit training (1 min stepper fast/ 1 min weights) then I did a 45 min session of weight in the afternoon. Today I did the circuit training again first thing in the morning and i'm hoping to make it to make it to the gym this afternoon (if it ever stops raining..I have to walk 25 mins to get to the gym) I have just over 2 weeks to drop some body fat for my BD session when I get back to Canada so wish me luck ladies I will need it!!!!! I wish you lots of luck and hope the best for you. You just have to watch what you are eating and exercise, that is all. Have some willpower, I am lacking that today. Where in Canada are you moving to?

I am posting this reply so I can see if I lost any posts, although, I can't really remember how many I had. Huh, I can't tell. I think it should be higher than that give how active I am, but I really can't remember.

Oh yeah, one of my BM's had a self tanner cream on, and on the morning of the wedding we were in the pool and it started to come off in spots and left her blotchy. She had to stay in the pool till she rubbed it all off so you would not see it for the wedding. Luckily she only used it on her legs and the dress went just below the knee so it was not a big issue. I totally forgot about that Angela, thanks for reminding me.

This was just posted in the coupon codes thread Benefit Cosmetics Friends and Family Time - 20% OFF when you shop online at: BenefitCosmetics Offer Valid 11/5/07 to 11/11/07 Not valid on sale items Enter promo code FRIEND07 So, I thought I would post it here so that you can get 20% of the Realness of Concealness kit, if you were thinking about buying it. FYI, I never ever saw any sales on the BeneFit stuff, I went back every week for months and never was it ever on sale. So, I think now is a good time to get it

I just tried it, I did a double post in Carly's bouquet question post, but I am not given the option to delete it. Odd.

I had no idea how to do that. Great post. I am going to see if I can do it now. lol

I love it, and I think someone else has the same BM dresses, I think I have seen it before. It looks comfy and easy to wear. I also think it will flatter all body types. Great choice. Great colour as well.

Diana. You have found the right place to help you choose your resort. Happy Planning.

I decided to start another Boot Camp. I loved the one I did before my wedding, and I am not doing so well with eating and exercise since I got back, so my new boot camp starts tomorrow night. It will be the first exercising of any kind I have done since we left on the 21st, that is pretty bad.

I have not taken the time to read all prior posts, kinda busy. But, I wanted you all to know that I am eating the WW Santa Fe Rice and Beans frozen meal right now and it ROCKS!!! Its 6 points and its got rice and beans and lots of cheese and some spice and garlic to it. It is awesome. Just thought I would let you all know.

I am confused by your post. She is saying you can no longer stay at the resort you chose? I had no problems picking a resort with my TA we did most of it over email. I told her the places I wanted, she went and got me particulars and prices and then I picked a place and she started booking it. It really should not be that hard. What is the problem you are having with this TA?

I think its a great idea, I just wanted to know if that was okay I am not sure how it worked last year. Do we tell the person who we are?

to the forum. You will love it here, there is lots and lots of info on Dreams. Happy Planning.

to the forum. Be prepared to become addicted You will have no problem making lots of friends and getting lots of advice here. We have an amazing group of very helpful people on this forum. You came to the right place. Happy Planning.

I love them, you did a great job. I do not think you should put in anything that will cost a lot of money with them though because a lot of those people will not come to your wedding. Not to be harsh, but we sent out 110 STD's and had 51 people at our wedding. So I think you should just save that untill you send out the formal invites.

One piece of advice that I have just discovered, when they start to annoy you, make an appointment ASAP to get them removed. Mine started to bug me on Friday, but I can't have them removed till Wednesday due to bookings. So, because they are bugging me I keep tugging at them and of course they are coming out and a few eyelashes are coming with them. I still have lots of my eyelashes, do not worry you will not go bald or anything, but just don't pull at them, have them removed. lol

Question, when should the gifts be sent out? Like if I order something online for the person, and send it to their delivery address, is it too soon to order now or in the next week or so? Also, do we tell them who we are or is it an annoymous gift?

Congratulations Amy. Your pics are beautiful. I love the ceremony and reception location, its breathtaking. You look beautiful and very happy Amy. On a side note, Mel, is that not the other dress you were thinking about?

How do the staff know which rooms all the wedding guests are staying in? Did they specifically target the wedding guests during the ceremony? I had to tell the WC all the room numbers that were our wedding guests. The hotel had to make sure that I had enough people to get the wedding package for free. So, I am sure they flag that in their computer system. We had no problems though, but I can totally see that information being really really easy to access.

So glad to here that you got there with no problems. I am sure you will find your WC, she might just be busy, I know mine was crazy busy when I got to my hotel. I would not worry too much. Have a great time and I can't wait to hear all about it and see the pics.

That is a really great idea. If someone marketed small camera's that looked like something people would travel with, and they could set it up in their room. That would surprise the crap out of the hotel staff when you say, look, I have proof. I think you are on to something there.
