I packed 4 at the bottom of one of our suitcases of wedding stuff and no issues. I didn't wrap them in anything or have them in a box. I got the 32" ones. I'm working on my review and uploading pictures to photobucket to post, but I have some pictures of me and the bridal party with the parasols so you can see the size.

We bought mini bottles of tequila at our resort to give as wedding favors. We brought down personalized margarita mix packets, gift bags that I attached tags to and tissue paper. Each bag (one per couple or sing guest) with one bottle of tequila, and 2 mix packets. The tags on the bag had our logo and said "Thanks for making the trip!" Everyone loved the favors so I say go for it!

18. How old are you? I'll be 28 in a couple weeks.
19. If you won the lottery (hundreds of millions) what would you do?
Pay off student and car loans and our wedding debt. Share with family, and buy a house. Travel a bit and then probably start my own business since I would still need to do something.

I want a new ipod since mine is full.
21. What is your favorite T.V. show?
One Tree Hill

29. What's the craziest thing you've ever done?
Got arrested when I was 17 for tresspassing. We were drinking in the woods, but I had just gotten there so I wasn't drinking yet so the cops couldn't bust me on that. It didn't go on my record, but I had to do community service for 3 weeks.
30. What is the one thing that your significant does that drives you CRAZY?
He leaves his crap all over the place!
31. What’s your favorite movie?
Grease is my all time favorite movie.
32. Why did you choose a destination wedding?
I didn't want a big church wedding. I was raised Catholic, did the CCD thing, but was never much of a believer. I also hate being the center of attention and didn't want a bunch of people I barely talk to or even remember at my wedding. I wanted it small and away from home. Plus, it was cheaper than having something at home and we paid for it on our own.
33. How long were FI and you together when you got engaged?
2.5 years
34. What person in your life really gets under your skin, and how do you know them?
My husband's brother. He is such a selfish bastard.

At work, August 2003
36. Even with all the ups and downs along the way, would you still go through with your DW knowing what you know now?
Even more so now that the wedding is over and it was awesome.
37. Do you have any pets?
No, but I really want to get a dog once we move.
38. If you could hook up with a celbrity for one night, who would it be?
Hmmm, that is a tough one. I really like Vince Vaughn so I think it may be him.
My question: What's your sexual fantasty and have you ever played it out?
We've played out a lot of fantasies so I'm not sure I could pick just one.
39. What's the one thing other than FI that you would bring to a deserted tropical island?
sunscreen
40. Do you have any tattoos?
One on my ankle.

Your pics turned out great! I love the ones of you two on the palm tree and where your hubby is dipping you on the beach. You looked beautiful and I love how your hair turned out. Congrats again!!

Tara, your pics turned out AWESOME!!! I can't wait to see the rest.

Hi ladies, I am back and married! I haven't had a chance to log on to BDW since we got home so now I am going through my 11 something thousand unread posts! I am trying to upload some more pics that my cousin gave me. We have the same camera so luckily we just switched memory cards since we both had over a thousand pictures on our cards. She had all the pics of the wedding day though since I was a little busy getting married to take any pictures, ha ha! The wedding was awesome. There were a couple little snafus, but nothing major. Mike and I were really happy with how everything turned out and our guests had a great time. I did not want to come home especially since we had some snow flurried yesterday. I miss the 85 degree sunny weather and the beach.
To those that got married already congrats!!! I'm glad all your weddings turned out to be what you wanted them to be.
It sounds like the rest of you are busy with all the last minute details. Have a great trip and great wedding!!
Erice, your TTD dress and BM dresses are beautiful. Your mom is a rockstar sewer! I hope your nanny is OK.

I ordered blumebox vases for our centerpieces, and I also ordered 3 taller ones to put my bouquet and the BMs bouquets in. I was going to put ribbon on them, but decided not to since I had too many other projects to finish! They come in a lot of different colors and pack flat and are really light. We had packed all the glass candle holders in our carryon suitcase and didn't have any more room to bring down vases. I didn't want to take a chance packing glass items in checked luggage and we already had too much other luggage this worked out best for us.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

I'm so glad to hear everything worked out so well for you. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

The cakes turned out really cute. Great job!

Celina-Congrats on your legal day!!!
Steph & Celina-Have a great trip and fabulous weddings!
I picked up my dress last night. It wasn't ready when I was supposed to pick it up so I got it last night at 8:30PM. I got NO sleep on Friday night so I passed out on the couch as soon as I got home. I got two more pairs of blue panties to wear under my dress for my something blue. I haven't tried them on yet so I hope at least one of them fits. I also picked up some more lingerie for the trip. I got an old hanky from my aunt from Ireland so I got my something old and borrowed so those things are done. I need to finish printing out the welcome packets today, I had to pick up more paper yesterday. I also need to finish the programs. I pawned the fans off to my FMIL to tie the ribbon on them. We are almost done packing, I'll be able to finish packing once I'm done with the laundry and the rest of my make-up and hair stuff I can pack Tuesday morning before we leave. I'm getting my nails done tomorrow, and my eyebrows waxed. I'm going to go tanning in a few minutes and will probably go again tomorrow. I'm not sure if I'll logon again before I go, but I just wanted to thank everyone again for all your help and support!

Target is currently selling them in their $1 section if you need some. Of course they have them now and not when I wanted to buy them! Hopefully, this news will help someone on here.
