Wow that does stink! But if it makes you feel better, I used that company and I loved them. Quick turn around, nice paper and I get tons of compliments on my invites!

I was thinking the same thing about the pom-pom's. Pics would be great.

Brittany - my parents are recovering alcoholics and users, so I know the pain that that causes. They have been clean for 17 years, but the years before that were really bad. So I know that if your mom realizes she needs help, that people can turn their lives around. The biggest step to self-improvement is the acknowledgement of a problem. My younger brother is also currently working on his rehab and has been clean for just under a year. I hope your mom finds the strength needed to move on and better her life choices. Big hugs to you, B.

Brittany, I am so sorry you are going thru this. I don't know what else to say.

Very cool!

Tami - I am so glad you are feeling some relief!

OMG, Lauren, I never would've thought of IKEA. How many boxes did you get (how big were they) and was it enough? I might have to swing by there this week, cuz that is way cheap... Quote: Originally Posted by lauren c. carly, i got my flower petals at ikea - ORANGE! they had other colors too, but i don't remember what. They were like $1.50 per box and each box was the same as the ones that michael's charges $10 for.

The resort told me they will clean them up.... Quote: Originally Posted by carly ...I am going to bring silk petals, cuz who will ever know, and the resort will clean them up after....

Wow, you splurged on the Stuart Weitzman (I think anyway), that we were all drooling over! Great choice. Quote: Originally Posted by dgsjsu All my wedding stuff is at my parents house but I found this picture not the best quality.

Yeah, Tangerine and Tabasco are my personal faves.

I like #1. Can you purchase the sample? I got my realllllly expensive dress for 40% off, cuz I bought the sample. Otherwise, speak to someone there and ask if they have any sales scheduled anytime soon. I think places usually have a yearly or twice a year sale, and the timing might work for you since you have quite a while.

Oh, nevermind. If I buy a value pack from the orig site it would equal about the same amount. So it saves money to go with one color. Do you guys think one color is cool? Or does it NEED multiple? My sister thinks one color, but so far, everyone on here listed a mix.

Hmmm, I just found another site that is a way better price, but I would have to buy only one color - orange. For 4,000 petals from 200Petals.com - Home Page, it is $70. To get the equivilant on the original site I posted it's $90. Crap.

Rachelle, I just got so confused by your new name!

So Beaches charges an arm and a leg for flower petals for the aisle. She estimated that I would need two bags at $150 each. So I am going to bring my own. Now the problem is deciding on a color, or group of colors. I am going to bring silk petals, cuz who will ever know, and the resort will clean them up after. I didn't want to bring freeze-dried for fear of them getting confiscated at the airport and if not confiscated, I don't want to compromise anything in Jamaica by bringing plants. So, here is my inspiration picture and then some colors that I like. Suggestions on one color or a tri-color effect (whether in the same shade or mixing orange and pink)? I am partial to ORANGE, since those are the accents I will be wearing (shoes, purse, hair flower), but I also don't want orange overload... Inspiration picture... Possible colors (from website Silk Rose Petals from Petal Garden) Orange Tangerine Tabasco Mango Coral Citrus Berry Hot Pink

OMG, they are the funniest things I ever saw. I am adding them to my registry as a joke! And bonus if they work!

I went for blue, so that is what I voted.

Hey, thanks by the way! I was supposed to not be checking my registry anymore, since my shower is next weekend, but now I have to! Hahhahaaa

My mom bought something for someone off their registry at Macy's the other day and they scanned the registry anyway. I think it will jsut add it, since someone bought it for you, and then you ahve the protection to return it w/o receipt since it's a gift. But I could totally be pulling that outta my ass.

I love it! congratulations!! I am so jealous, I want my own house...

I would love to try hypnosis for various reasons - to not have such a negative self-image, to LIKE to exercise, and like to eat veggies. I actually just posted that same thing in another thread yesterday, I think. I think anything is worth trying if your fear is that bad. What do you lose if it doesn't work?

Everything looks great!

For me, it's def between #1 & #2. I was so ready to vote for #1 but figured to check the rest out jsut in case, and low and behold #2 is gorgeous too! I would probably go for #2, cuz it's kinda similar to mine, but #1 is so beachy. I love them BOTH!

Wow, I am glad they made it to you in time! That one was cutting it close as well. Has everyone received their then? Does that mean I can cancel the 248 emails that I saved in a special "Pashmina" folder?

Well, that's a huge relief. And I am gla dyou called her. Having the phone call over with is much better then seething over how it might go.
