I found a 1 oz Block up 30 SPF sunscreen for $0.90/each at Hard to Find Brands versuses $2/each at other sites. I just ordered so i'll let you know how it goes. they have other items too so check it out.

i have a new bathing suit for every other day, granted we are away in PV and then Punta Mita for two weeks. Been acquiring from summer sales. I'm definitely going to load up on lingerie (hopefully from bachelorette party). and also fun shoes and dresses...will DEFINITELY Over pack...but that's the time to do it.

i'm wearing my dress for sure..what a great excuse to wear it again!! my AHR starts at 6pm until 11pm, food, drinks, dancing, etc.

welcome...if you have any questions, let us know..

love the green, will look great in the pictures...

it's beautiful. i love that style!

great pictures susan!! everytime i see pictures of everyone's weddings, it makes me soooo excited for my own. thanks for reminding me how spectacular things will turn out!!

I think we are using the "join us in celebrating the marriage of our daughter..." b/c my parents are throwing the AHR for us.

Your templates would be wonderful if you have any or suggestions on how you worded them. I have the template for the ticket type invitation but that seems more appropriate if I was inviting everyone to come to Jamaica (which I would if they could afford it). here are some options: bride and groom will begin their lives together on May 17, 20xx at venue in destination Please join us in a celebration to honor their marriage at AHR venue Saturday, June 21, 20xx time, date, location or Love makes life a paradise... bride and groom joined hearts and were married in destination May 17, 20xx join them for a wedding reception June 21, 20xx 6:30 p.m. At AHR venue street address OR Join us in celebrating the marriage of our daughter, bride to groom with a reception marking the return from their wedding in destination The reception will be held Saturday, June 21st at 6:30 p.m. AHR venue street address OR He slipped the ring on her finger a promise made for life...

Or start stalking people, whatever works! I'm sending mine out early too.. have to for planning reasons OOT, venue, welcome dinner, etc. that way I'll know and MAKE people book. only one of our wedding party out of 8 have booked so far too...you're not alone.

Quote: Originally Posted by carlymcmullen I am getting my invitations ready to be printed since I finally booked our AHR and I am wondering what to use as my RSVP by date. My wedding is May 17th and my AHR is July 12th. I am sending boarding pass invitations with the RSVP referencing both dates. I need to give myself enough time to plan the wedding, but I don't want to be crazy requesting rsvp's for July in February. Any advice? I don't want to send out separate invitations for both, cuz I just don't feel like having to deal with it! I wanted to use Feb 28th as my rsvp date... I'm in the same boat. My wedding is the same day as yours in Puerto Vallarta, May 17, 2008 and my AHR is June 21, 2008. We also have an added stresser, my FI is from New Zealand with friends and family all over the world. So invitations have to be mailed extra early due to the international snail mail factor. I was thinking of sending them in February then requesting them to be returned by mid March 2008...what do people think??

we are getting married in Mexico. so our AHR venue said they could do a signature drink such as a margarita and stock mexican beer. Also, doing mexican style food. As for decorating, doing something like this... For seating assignments... For favors...flip flop photoframes or personalized margarita mix...(haven't decided yet)
