Lauren - you look great! So glad it finally came in and you could post pics for us!

Yeah, I am a damn fool. I was so excited to be mailing the package that I forgot to include the card! So I had to send that out the next day, but it had references to the gifts! So glad you saw my note and I can't wait until you get the package. I hope you love it.

Jaime, that's so cute! Tell Martin the BDW wishes him a very happy birthday!

I think the forum is having issues, cuz when I posted all that, the pics were in there, but let's see if it works now. I am pasting the IMG code from photobucket. I will also send them to you via email, but I will post for any other people that might need them... BEACHES CAKE BEACHES BOUQUETS INCLUDED

Super late on this, but awesome pics!! You look incredible!

I mailed my gift on Tuesday (or was it Monday?), and stupid me forgot to put my card in the envelope. So not sure if one will get there before the other, but it's on it's way!!! I can't wait to see if you like it!

I hear ya, Kate, and I agree. If I could control my thoughts, I would let it go. But I want to be different to my BM's then the way it was for weddings that I was in, spending a million dollars. I am trying to be conscience of them and I don't want to want something ridiculously expensive and them to tell me it's ok and then struggle to make it happen. I know I am stressing myself out of nothing, but you know how it is when a thought gets into your head! Danielle - I have been to Adelphia before, but it's a little far for me to travel since we will be having gifts to transport home. I live in the suburbs near Quakertown, almost Allentown way. I have a few places figured out. Like one place I like is $21 or $28/person. I wanted to try to keep it around $15/person, but I just don't know if that is possible, so basically, I just want to know if I am unreasonable in my expectations.

I ordered mine this morning. The price wasn't THE best, but I ordered a bunch of other stuff from the site, so it all works out. Amazon.com: Passport Cover-Leather-Maui Pink/Pumpkin - (Maui Pink/Pumpkin): Kitchen & Dining

So, since my and Matt's family is so large, we need to have our shower at a place rather then someone's home. (We have about 100 guests. AHHH!) I am very anti-banquet hall-y, so I wanted to find a cool building. Something that was either ethnic or architecurally interesting. My sis (MOH) and I have narrowed it down to a few places. Now the thing I am concerned with is the money. I don't want my girls to have to pay a million dollars. I have 7 girls (3 of them are IN the wedding in Jamaica, the other 4 cannot make it to Jamaica, but want to assist and function as BM's). My MOH is in the beginning stages of a divorce with two small children and no job. Oh, and a husband that abandoned them and moved back to Canada. My SIL (other BM) jsut had her second baby in September and just went back to work PT, but they aren't wealthy. My other BM is in the midst of buying a house. The other girls all can't go to Jamaica due to money and kid reasons as well. So my dilema is, for a Sunday afternoon, what is normal pricing? I don't want a fancy thing. No open bar, perhaps a cash bar. I know I just gave alot of information, but I want feedback from outside people. My sis keeps telling me not to worry about it and they will figure the money out, but I do worry, cuz I don't want people annoyed at the money they have to spend for me. I totally think I am over-thinking this (as I do with just about everything!), but I can't stop myself. So, final question, what should the per person price be for a Sunday afternoon shower at a nice bar or restaurant? (Don't factor favors in, cuz Jill and I will probably make those...)

I thought youtube had a private option, where only people you invited to see it could view it. But, I haven't been to youtube in months, so I can't be sure...

Such a picture tease, Rachel! Giving us that tiny little thing... Pretty dress though, Lauren!

Ohhh, I hadn't thought of Etsy, I am going there right now! I need to find a purple one for one of hte girls and the store I found on ebay doesn't have purple. Boooooo Quote: Originally Posted by Lizz I just looked on Etsy :: Your place to buy and sell all things handmade. They have some really cute ones!

Thanks, Drea!! I think the best priced one is at this ebay store - eBay Store - amazing wallets: Passport Wallets: Tommy Hilfiger Passport Wallet 100 Authentic NEW - the buy it now option is $13.50 and the shipping is $4.50 (or something), with each additional item being $2.75 shipping. I think I will order from them. I was being frugal and hoped to find it even cheaper!

I did a quick search but wasn't finding what I needed, so I am starting a new thread... I know that alot of us are/have gotten the passport covers for ourselves or for gifts for others. I wanted to get them for all the girls in my wedding party that are traveling to Jamaica (I have 4 girls that won't be coming to the wedding, but are still going to be considered part of the bridal party.) Anywho, I am searching online for the best price. Anyone know a great site off hand?

I knew exactly what I wanted (beaded, lace and fitted) and I foudn my dress in the first store. I waited about 7 months to buy it cuz it was over my price-range, but I tried on many, many dresses and came back to the one that I found that first store. So my only advice would be to try on many styles, but nothing out of your price-range in case you fall in love with it. Then you can figure out if what you always thought is what you really want!

I went dress shopping about 3 months after getting engaged. I found my dress in the first store and I ended up buying it like 7 months later.

Michelle, I am so glad everythng worked out for you! I tried to respond a few times yesterday, but it kept timing out on me...

Oh, I love the fire dancing ones! YOu both looked gorgeous and I love the way you decorated the tables, I am saving one of your pics for a reminder of it! Thanks for posting!

Great job, Shelley! You gift is like a treasure box, all kinds of things!
