I love the dress & both colors. I promise I'm not just being a "silent BM." They are beautiful!

It looks great! That reminds me I needed to get some eco friendly sunscreen. I wanted to buy some for everyone, but it was pricey. Now the snorkeling trip will be in a cenote so I don't think we'd need to worry about it. It that right? It's just about coral isn't it? Our guests are only staying 3nights so I don't think anyone else will have time to snorkel in the ocean. I'll get a bottle for us & another to share incase someone is snorkeling.

I just went with "together with out parents name & name would like to ..." I talked to our parents before & asked if that was fine to leave their names off the invites. I gets so tricky with divorced parents.

Hmm...cool invention Morgan...maybe we can market it to photographers for instant photo gratificiation. I'm already working on the prototype for it It's like a backpack the photographer wears that straps in the assistant. Then there is a hat with a tray that they can place the laptop on. The assistant should probably be a child or someone small. And someone who can type fast so we don't have to wait longer than necessary.

I wanted it to be super easy to clean! I don't know if our resort has any restrictions, but I don't know how they can argue with these! They are a little pricey at $3 each, but We might just give them to people on the ends of the aisles... The cheapest place I've found them is Wedding Favors and Gifts Have you already bought them? I decided against them after watching this video YouTube - Wedding Web

I made Mike watch it & I laughed the entire time. It's funnier the 2nd time around because you see her face in anticipation of a beautiful exit but then you know what's coming to her.

Quote: Originally Posted by xJuicyJx OMG I just cried laughing watching that video!!!! LMAO Definitely staying away from streamers! LMAO I'm still cracking up I watched it 5 times! I might go watch it again.

Quote: Originally Posted by michaelwachniak hey, I'm not THAT heavy sheesh, that was much funnier in my head... No, the assistant sits on your shoulders while you photograph. That way you can move around & take pictures while he uploads them. OK, that wasn't even funny in my head.

So strange... But I'll trust the limited risk, the night-versus-day info, etc. and just place my faith in strong mosquito repellents. =) And yeah, they're doing some really cool stuff in malaria research! Yeah, the night vs day information makes me feel a lot better about it. Plus, isn't malaria cureable? Would it be that big of a problem if we did get it? I think it's just such a huge problem because people can't afford the medication. Which is what made the research I heard about today so awesome. Malaria treatment is $2.50. In some countries the government spends $4 per person per year on health care. So $2.50 isn't practical. They are getting that cost down to 10 cents with the new technology. What day are you going to Coba? We are going Friday morning.

I think they went a little overboard with them but it makes for a humorous moment anyway!! That is so funny!!! OK, I don't want them anymore after seeing that. They were like a spider web. Even when just a few were thrown at them they still look like they started getting tangled in them. I think I should just stick with buying rose petals from the hotel. I'm so glad you posted that.

Doxycycline it's an antibiotic. I guess it kills acne causing bacteria & the parasite that causes malaria.

I found the cheapest ones on ebay. But then I decided to DIY. I think I have a problem. I went to the craft store that night & got supplies. I still need my hankys.

I was just looking through their products and I did come across the brochures under their Marketing section but it looks like you can only order 25 at a time. Am I looking at the right thing? I really only need to order 10 though I guess taking in to account how much it would cost me to do it at home buying the 25 wouldn't be all that bad. Thanks again, Amy I like this link www.vistaprint.com/minicatalog I always get the uploads for free with that link. So shipped 25 brochures came to 35 cents each. Also, a home printer cant print all the way to the edge. I think 25 is the minimum. They usually arrive in 2 weeks even though slow shipping says way longer than that.

Using a mosquito repellent with deet in it helps. We have never taken the meds for travel in Mexico (Puerta Vallarta and Cancun). intesting. then we shouldn't have to worry because we wouldn't be in Coba at night. I just went to a really interesting talk about malaria today. They have engineered bacteria & yeast to produce malaria medication to reduce the cost of the medication.

This was the paragraph after the one you posted: Risk is very limited; therefore, prophylaxis is not recommended for most travelers to Mexico. Travelers should use personal protection measures such as insect repellents for malaria prevention. Chemoprophylaxis is recommended for the rare traveler going to the risk areas. I have decided not suggest my guests take the medicine. It can suppress the immune system which could put them at risk for something else. There are also many side effects. The parasite that causes malaria is more frequently becoming resistant to the drug so taking it when not necessary could increase this problem. I just plan to encourage plenty of bug spray.

Also, I've heard about Vista Print but have never used their service. It sounds like you had a good experience going through them and their prices were reasonable. I'll check them out since I don't think my printer will be able to handle the graphics quite that well. Thanks again, Amy A lot of us use vista print. Just be sure you are getting a sale price. You can google "vista print coupons" and find tons. I really have been happy with the quality. I also like that I can use all the color I want & not have to worry about using my ink. I can get stuff from them cheaper than I can print it myself & it looks a lot better.

"you got serrrrrvvvvedddddd" (not that it was a very difficult question but i finally beat you to the punch. you must be busy working on something or in the bathroom) hahah Ha Ha!! I was busy with my E. coli. BTW, I love your new title.

You learn fast! I like the idea of pictures being uploaded as soon as you take them. maybe a cord that connects your camera to a laptop with wifi & a guy holding the laptop following you around while posting the pitures on the forum? Sounds reasonable to me Quote: Originally Posted by LC_Rachel yay! How exciting. I love when we get photos before the bride is even back. Can't wait till OCT! Subtle hint? Pretty soon we are going to start demanding pictures even before the wedding. I know Michael is skilled with photoshop. He can superimpose Yari on a zip line in her wedding dress for us today!

Hey Jenny, I sent your fonts to the BDW font swap email. I just had to delete a few to make it small enough so I removed some that were already in the collection. The collection is huge already. It's also super easy to get them on your computer. I'm so happy with how this is working out!!!

Thanks everyone who has swapped so far. This really is going smooth. Now, who is responsible for the font "Fart Bubble?"

Streamers - Non-Flameproof Here is another company. You can buy them in different quantities. I might like their colors better too. I'm going to shop around. Ofcourse i'm having visions of making these myself too. I'll update here.
