As some of you know ... I was very unhappy with the outcome of my logo on the travel mugs that I ordered. So, the company sent me a new shipment. The new mugs are smaller and have no handle, but the aqua color is similar and the logo is the correct size. Now, my decision has become -- which ones do I use for the DW (the others I can use for the AHR, although we won't have enough for everyone who has RSVP'ed). I LOVE the first mugs. They are larger, so will hold more liquid, and have a handle. But the design is super small and many of the lids don't screw on tight. I ordered more than the number of DW guests, so I can probably weed through and find enough with tight lids (hopefully). The second mugs I LOVE the logo size ... but the mugs are smaller, have no handle, and will hold basically the same amount as the plastic cups that the resort provides. But the lids do stay on tight. Here is a pic of the larger mug w/ handle. (note how small the design is) This is the smaller mug w/o handle (sorry its not my actual mug but the logo design is big and beautiful on it). Here is the logo, but it is all coral/orange in color on the mugs.

The good news is that our first two weddings (jnowland and Coreyphil have none of those colors so as soon as I get the shipment they'll get theirs! Great news! Can't wait for them to arrive. You are welcome to hold mine back until all are delivered so we can ship them at one time to me.

Wow, not only is that tacky, it's also VERY unsafe. Why would ANYONE put their bank account information out there in black and white for anyone to steal or gain access? That is ridiculous ... and that is also why there are honeymoon registries. We have a honeymoon registry (only my sister has used it, though) and AAA Vacations also set up an account if anyone wanted to contribute -- but no one has. I think we will likely get a lot of money for gifts at our AHR ... but it would have been nice to have to help get things paid for ahead of time. lol Either way, we really are not in need of anything, so we have asked for no gifts, regardless. We only registered b/c people kept asking -- so I tried to give different options (Honeymoon Registry, AAA Vacations account, Macys, Bed Bath and Beyond, and Home Depot).

I don't have any advice on this b/c I haven't seen any of the invites for my showers. My sister is sending the invites out for 2 of them and Tom's best man and wife are doing the others. I know my sister asked my bra/panty size b/c one is a lingerie party and it sounds like from what some of my friends said that she put my friggin size on a preliminary eVite that she sent out. OMG!!! She did ask about the registry stuff and I just gave her the order of importance as far as the stores.

Everything looks really great! I like the simplicity of the design on your OOT bags. I might follow suit b/c my design is not complete yet. Love love love it all and can't wait to see pics after the fact! PS you look GORGEOUS in your dress!!!

Oh this one should be pretty easy! Too bad my laptop is in the shop -- the one w/ all my pics saved on it. Let's see what I can come up with!

Wow, they look great! What a cute design!

Wow, I love them but that is a bit pricey per frisbee. I'm going to keep looking for better prices b/c frisbees would be perfect. I wonder if there is anyway to affix a logo to plain frisbees? Perhaps adhesive paper (stickers) with our logos printed on them

Welcome and HAPPY planning! Love to see the number of Punta Cana brides growing so steadily!!!

We are still up in the air on this one. It's only $150 for a separate room the night before, but I've really just gotta wait and see how our funds look. It doesn't matter either way really. But, day of the wedding -- ZI will be getting ready starting with a salon appt at 10am ... so we won't see each other until our private pre-ceremony pics.

mmm... just checked out their website and menu. OMG it looks divine. A Saturday would be best for me so I can stay at my sister's overnight -- but again, I'm not 100% in, so go with whatever plan is easiest for everyone.

Thought I already posted, but there must have been a server error cos I don't see it. I would think telling her something like this would be safe "that would be a perfect idea, if we were having flower girls, but we thought a lot about how we wanted things, and we prefer to keep it small. but if we did have flower girls, of course your girls would be theo ones!"

Right now either weekend is fine. However, I'll find out about a possible job later this week, and if I get it, I'll be in NYC for training Feb 17-22. So, I will have to let you know. Brittney, I don't know Pappsito's, but Mexican is yummy to me!!!

I was asked to be a BM in a wedding many moons ago at the last minute -- and it didn't bother me at all. Perhaps b/c we were relatively new friends at the time, so in that sense I was honored to be asked. I just had to pay a TON to get the former BM's dress taken in for me. Anyway, that's neither here nor there. I think FH just needs to understand that girls probably think about weddings much differenly than men and to as her 'after the fact' is more insulting since you have been friends for so long.

Oh gish! How TOTALLY exciting!!!! I know it will be wonderful!!!!

lol, now I have to figure out the best way to get my sand ceremony vase home too, Alyssa, now that I have one! (thanks again Secret Cupid!!!). I think we'll need to try what Jean-Marcus suggested and see how it goes!

I think your easy/safe response would be "that would be perfect and if we were having flower girls, they would definitely be the only ones I would ask. But we aren't having flower girls, so at least you won't have to worry about any extra expense."

Can you not just ask her to be a BM anyway? Or another scenario, what if you just have MOH if your sis can't go? You don't have to have even sides. I think your sis is definitely being a BM in spirit so, even if she can't end up going, I would still consider her an honorary BM and include her in the program, etc b/c being a BM is much more than just being there that day ... and it certainly sounds like she is going the extra mile for you!

That is GREAT! They are going to look fantastic! Ours should be arriving soon (although not from Blue Nile) and I can not wait!!!

That's great about the delivery time, Morgan. I was skeptical b/c I didn't know anything about this company -- but the price was right for all my girls, plus the 10% discount and no tax or shipping (plus the PayPal option). I know I mentioned this earlier in the thread ... but for the Newbies just checking it out ... all of my BM's received their dresses ahead of the estimated delivery dates and all of them are 110% happy with them!

we are about 1/2 and 1/2 on this one.

really nice! very pretty!

to print it as a contact sheet ... print as if you are printing a pic and it will ask if you want to print multiple images on a page. when you click yes, it will give you options, and one if the contact sheet.

sounds like i need to try this one!!!

hhmm... there are several threads on here about affordable linen tan suits, etc that sound like they would be more in the price range and they can keep them to wear again.
