welcome cassandra! there are plenty of ROR brides here to help you along the way!

funny this was bumped. we registered for china the week before my shower just to appease my in-laws. the only set we got was from my students about a week ago...so we don't know if we return it, or use all the gift cards to buy the other 7 sets!

my bm dresses were pretty cheap - $50 @ white house black market. one bm already had hers, my sis bought her own, and i paid for the last one. i think it depends on what else you're doing. the bm that already had the dress was given $500 from us for travel expenses. my sister's expenses were paid for mostly by my parents, so i wasn't too worried about her, and the bm whose dress i paid for had her flight paid for by her in-laws...since no one is close i don't have to worry about anyone talking about $$ while we're there, but i'd take each person's monetary abilities into account. (could you follow that? it's confusing to reread!)

we're doing a shirt just for the men. it'll have our logo on the front and it'll say "still drunk from breakfast" on the back w/ a pic of a margarita. i don't care if they ever wear it again, but i felt like i needed something in the bags specifically for the men.

welcome and congrats! there's tons of helpful info on here!

did you try abercrombie? most of the children's stuff is modeled after the adult stuff.

i think it's gorgeous! carly's right, tho - any good seamstress can take out some of the crinolin - however, you have to be careful how much you take out b/c you don't want the dress the get stuck between your legs when you walk. is it possible to have a 2nd dress for the reception? you could always change if you get too hot!

welcome and congrats!

they're perfect! great job!

i hope my grandkids think we are as cute as i think your grandparents are

we're having a dj, but regret it already. we're paying $800 for 4 hrs of djing, plus lights (think club lights) for 30 people - and the dj doesn't speak english, so no mcing. (NOTE: this was fi's department) we both think that with such few people, we should have gone w/ the ipod - and definitely no lights!

thanks everyone! i figured we'd bring a bunch of singles and whatnot and probably not get pesos...just wanted other opinions... hopefully i'll be able to get to the bank before we leave on tuesday - i don't even have time to post!!!!

hey all - i'm less than 1 week out and i was wondering how much money people brought with them - both USD and other monies, specifically pesos. should we even bother getting pesos or will we use USD for everything? this smiley is awesome: thanks everyone!

oh i'm interested to hear what people say about eyelashes.... i'll certainly be checking out mac this weekend!

who cares about the car?! you and the baby are safe... but chocolate always makes me feel better

i agree with christa and everyone else. send them a bill. there's no reason for you to get stuck paying their deposit if they're not coming. period.

6/7 works for me!!! we'll (or i'll) be there!
