I think I'm going to post these on ebay or craigslist soon. If anyone is interested, please let me know by the end of the weekend!

I like the round ones better than the hibiscus, Morgan. But they're both cute, so you really can't go wrong with either choice!

Congrats on getting them done, they look fabulous!

We have 8 on each side, so there was no way we could pay for them! I really don't think they would ever expect that we would anyway. I did go a bit overboard with their gifts because they are paying so much to come. FI bought all of the GM wedding attire as their gift. Also, I waited until I knew they were definitely able to come before asking them to be in the wedding and I tried to keep the cost of the dresses down as much as possible (and no matching shoes, jewelry, hair, etc.).

Carly, everything looks great! I have ordered from Oriental Trading twice already, but I think I may need to get those coin purses now too. I've been debating the water guns and beach balls too...ugh, I hate budgets! If you decide you still want to do first aid bags, it really wasn't too expensive. I bought everything in the past few weeks and spent less than $150 for probably about 65 bags. I got Tylenol, Pepto Bismol and the bags on ebay; sanitizer wipes at Staples; bandaids and alcohol wipes at Dollar Tree; Shout wipes from Minimus; and lip balm from Avon.

Beautiful! Congrats on finding your dress!

I had 6 family members ALL taking pictures. I have over 1000 pictures OTHER than Michaels and I did not pay extra for them to photograph. If you're nice to him he'll be nice back. We only spent about 200 - 300 bucks on photos with Michael. I got so many compliments on the ones I framed. They are small on the computer b/c I had to shrink them to fit them. To me they are gorgeous and worth the money. I got TEN b/c I didn't want to upgrade AND then I had him print all the extras that I wanted to frame and those I can't put online seeing as they are in frames on the wall. I got TEN to a disk but not just ten. My DH is a student and I don't have buttloads of extra money for photos. Michael told me personally he keeps pictures indefinitely and I can come back later and get the same price I paid originally to get more pictures. I am not taking his back b/c I know he has changed policy I see both sides to this. I just got a little tiffed at the above remark. I find it rude to put down someone elses wedding pictures. I wish all the brides the best. Personally I think people are getting fired up. I would personally do what Heidi did and contact the RIU sales. For the record, I think your pictures are wonderful Calia! I am also using Michael, but that is because photography honestly is not important to me at all. I'd rather spend my budget on other things that are more important to me. That being said, I can see why everyone is fired up. It is a ridiculous policy and I definitely think RIU Corporate needs to get involved. Good luck girls!

Pricey, but so cute!
