I'm not having any showers. I've never enjoyed going to showers. it's been nice living out of state & skipping all the showers I would normally have gone to. A few people have offered to throw me one, but I've said I'd rather stick to having the parties. Some girls are throwing me a bachelorette party in a few weeks. Other friends are helping host my after wedding party (it's just friends, it's nothing family would fly in for). I'm paying for the big stuff (keg, tequilla) but my friends are helping out with the decorating & fun stuff. I prefer a party or something a little more relaxed like a game night. Every shower I've ever been too was awkward with lots of small talk, punch and cake. I think if done right a shower can be fun. I've seen pictures from coed showers that just looked like a big party. Also, mom's & grandmas tend to love showers, so it can be nice to have one for them to attend. It's just not something I enjoy so I prefer not to have one. But, if I did have one, I'd want to make sure it was a lot of fun for guests. If it's just eating cake & watching the bride open gifts that typically isn't fun. From stuff I've seen on the forum it looks like people are getting more creative with their showers and making them fun. I think that is the key to a good shower. It should be something guests enjoy so it just isn't all about gifts.

There is tons of info about dreams cabo. there is a search bar on the top right. congrats on your upcoming engagement.

You put the starfish in a toilet paper roll? Good idea. I'm going to add that to the nest. Mine is going to be so protected.

Repeats aren't really a problem. you just have to click OK for each repeat.

i hated last nights episode. i'm taking the hills off my tivo. it is just too fake now. it was so obvious she would mess up the dress. putting interns in a suite for a week to take polaroids of models? i dont care if its staged, but i need it to aleast be believable. bring back laguna beach!!

It sounds like that one starfish made it to 5 & died by #6. Make sure they know to take good care of it. Maybe pack it with the carry on so it doesn't get thrown around. I plan on stuffing lots of packing materials in the box with mine. I started getting it's nest ready last night.

So how many weddings can the typical starfish attend? I plan to pack mine up really good. Do they tend to die after 4 or 5?

I think I've seen Beerly Beloved on some stuff before. I know pronounce you drunk & drunker? So far Speak now or... just have another beer is my favorite

And is that one wearing splatter painted Hammer pants? And look how pissed that little girl in the hot pink sweatshirt on the right looks! I can't believe I didn't notice Barfy McPukes-a-lot. There is just too much going on in this picture. I think the girl on the right knows she is too cool for this sad group so she is trying to remove herself from it.

The only word I know in there is library. I was going to learn some spanish before the wedding, but I've just been photoshopping instead. I just know library because it's about the same in latin.

Travel Candle and matches- in case room is musty Chrome Luggage Tag Big cup with their initial Tropical Flavored chapstick for women Disposable nail files for women (i just got these cuz they are cute) Homemade soap- b/c i hate hotel soap Small photo album for their vacation photos Deck of cards Rubix cube photo scavenger hunt list Gum Tissues there goes another thing on my list. I hate getting a chipped nail on vacation & not being able to do anything about it. I'll just throw in some emory bags from a cheap multi-pack. I also bought cheap bags that I don't care if people use again. They would make nice grocery sacks though.

More brain storming. Here are some common wedding lines. Maybe they can be adapted to be mexico drinking lines: I now pronounce you husband & wife Speak now or forever hold your peace You may kiss the bride To have & to hold

Beer...helping wedding guests.... OK that's as far as I've gotten There has to be something funny to write

http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t15112 Here is a thread about things guests found to be useful.

Quote: Originally Posted by Kat81 Here is what I have....

I think I'll throw in some grocery sacks folded up tightly. Those are great for dirty laundry and wet swimsuits.

I tried to include things people often don't think about. Also for some items, I plan to tell them I will be providing them. Most people don't think to take a large cup to an AI, but when they get there they wish they had one (small cups at most bars) I also got luggage locks for everyone. I will tell them I got those. I was able to buy them in bulk cheaper than everyone getting one for themselves. I also put in a first aid kit, postcards, coin purse (room keys & change) & some other stuff. Overall my bags were pretty cheap to make. I tried to pick things that I thought guests would get use out of & not have packed for themselves. I do not think OOT bags are necessary though. And I think it's a great idea to think about what your guests will actually use. Unfortunately when someone started a post about what their guests used out of the OOT bags, it just made my list longer. I've also paid attantion to not getting large items so they can pack easy.

even the high interest accounts are fairly low right now (~3%) with all the recent fed fund rate cuts. If you think you will spend it if you don't pay the deposit now,go ahead & pay.
