Wish I heard about these BD pics sooner:(
1elephant replied to Spazz's topic in Just venting or funnies
yes! i'd like her info - esp if you like what she does...the price quotes around here are anywhere from $300-$600+ but i'd be willing to come down to marlton for that price - plus my sister lives right there.... -
the same thing just happened to me - keith took it upon himself to order tiny envelopes. when i asked the post office how much it would cost in postage, they said between $.70-$1.00 per envelope, PLUS b/c they are so small, there's a strong possibility they'd get lost....so we had to order bigger ones.

We were supposed to have petals in our room and a fruit platter waiting (according to Dreams) but since they didn't know it wasn't there. We got it eventually and everyone - even housekeeping - greeted us as honeymooners from that day out. Our initial room had 2 beds - yeah that's not hot. She apologized and had someone "make" it a king but the next day they moved us into the king suite directly next door. It was ground level overlooking the ocean and infinity pool, with a ginormous patio. I don't think that was an upgrade though because we booked a suite. Did you guys get the honeymooners banner on your door and the candles/roses the night of your wedding? jamy- you were in the club tower? it's the newer one....does everyone in the club tower have private check in? i've been telling my guests to book those rooms but since they're more $$ ppl haven't been too responsive. any other secrets i should know?

10 months away- what else should I be doing?
1elephant replied to amyh's topic in Wedding Etiquette, Traditions, to dos
yeah, i'm less than 6 months....haven't done oot bags (don't know how many), can't contact wc to finalize menu, flowers, etc (tho have been in touch w/ her supervisor), going to send out invites w/in 2 weeks, don't have shoes, hair appt, etc... do have invites almost done, bought dress, bridesmaids/groomsmen done, FI done, registry done, place booked and plane tickets bought. now i'm panicking! i thought a lot of this should be done once we're actually at the resort...? -
Any curly hair brides?
1elephant replied to Jenn3878's topic in Destination Wedding Dresses, Wedding Attire & rings
i have a big rat's nest on top of my head, which i too cannot wait to cut off after the wedding. when i was little, my hair was so frizzy and curly that my mom would put a barrette in one side and by the time she was done putting the other in, the first one would pop out. now, it's frizzy and curly and thick and coarse and big and i ALWAYS wear it up during the summer. FI likes it up b/c i'm small and have too much hair. for the wedding, it'll be up - i don't want a single piece touching my sweaty neck. i'll probably wind up doing something like edyta, with both a veil and a tiara (hey - when will i ever be able to wear either one again!?). -
DJ's in PV ???
1elephant replied to amyh's topic in Destination Weddings in Puerto Vallarta & surrounding areas
dj extassis doesn't speak english - we're using him and his liason is actually kristin from dazzling details...([email protected]) email her and ask her about extassis. he's $545 for 4 hrs, and we're getting lights too, total of $720 for 4 hrs...the only downfall is that b/c he doesn't speak english, you need a friend/family member to MC. -
nope, no AHR...we wanted this to be quick and painless i think i'll wait and see how it goes...the rsvp dates aren't till dec.1 anyway, so i COULD give them an invite in oct. or nov....who knows, maybe i'll love them, maybe i won't!

groomsmen's gifts
1elephant replied to 1elephant's topic in Wedding Registry, Wedding Gift Bags, and OOT bags
i told him about them and he was like 'so?'...what a snot. i think the problem is that HE would want a flask - and then never use it.... would your guys use it? -
just came across this searching for ideas for my own bns - another brand is links of london. Gold & Silver Women's Jewellery from Luxury British Jeweller Links of London, UK some things are obviously pricey but others are more affordable.

tell them the choice is the dress you picked out or a skimpy white bikini....(that's what i threatened one of my bridesmaids w/ after wearing celedon in her wedding!). i'd say set a time limit. i'm a planner too, and get really frustrated when ppl put things off, esp. if there's a chance that the dress will have to be ordered, and then altered, etc. give them a month, or maybe until the 6 month mark before picking out the dress for them.

$174 for me...thought it would be worse!

My sister doesn't like my dress :(
1elephant replied to Can'tHardlyWait's topic in Just venting or funnies

so i know this is a difficult question b/c we all live in different parts of the country, but what is a good price for BD pics? what do they include (hair/makeup)? i've gotten 3 quotes so far, all between $300-600, and have looked at other places that charge up to $1500/session! i'd really like to do these, but don't want to spend TOO much.... thanks!!!
