Hey Morgan or Stephanie, what size labels did you use to print these on?

I wish they had a medium size... Are you talking about Jenn's bags? I looked at her post & they look like they are a good size. She even had towel's made to go into the bags. They also have the larger size, which I think is 18 inches, but I think I'm going to go with the 14 inches. Quote: Originally Posted by LMP333 bummer once again!

Congrats & Welcome back! Your pics look great, thanks for your review & sharing your pics. You looked like you had a wonderful time! Were you charged for the Welcome Party at Seagrape or for your reception?

I asked the same question when I got the call that my dress came in. I thought I'd pay for it then take it home because there was about a month btwn the time it came in & my 1st alterations appt. Thats when I found out that they keep it in the store until all the alterations are done & you've had your final fitting. So I guess it's really up to you. If you don't mind having it in the house then bring it home. If it's gonna take up some space then you may as well leave it there until your 1st fitting. Oh, when it comes in they like you to try it on 1st I guess to give them an idea of exactly what needs to be done before the 1st fitting. I thought that it was silly to try it on, then come back for my 1st fitting appt the following week. But thats what I did.

That could lead into trouble with the FI's and DH's. Quote: Originally Posted by LMP333 Very true! I was buying them with no idea of how many people are even coming...i was just trying to make a guess! Ive been told by many that I have a shopping disorder I do not know how to pass up a good offer and I thought this was one! Definitely dont feel bad Paula, you saved us the disappointment of getting them and not being happy with them. thank you, thank you Paula, I agree with the ladies, PLEASE don't feel bad. Had you not posted that pic, we'd all have felt bad when we got them & realized they were too small. You actually did us a favor!!! I too think I need to go back to the canvas bag idea. Okay ladies. I have the same suggestion. Shall we try a canvas bag bulk order? This is the canvas bag that I was looking at, it's the 14 inch bag: Cool Totes I like these because I saw the ones that Jenn (Hopels) made. I liked the fact that they have 2 pockets on the outside & they seem quite sturdy. Here's her post with a picture of the finished product: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t13671 If we were to order 139 bags, they would be: 139 x $2.79= $387.81, plus shipping Standard UPS Ground 1-7 Days $38.09 total cost: 425.90 which equals $3.06 per bag. Anyone interested in this option? Can you tell that I'm all about getting discounts now? I don't know whats happened to me, besides the fact that FI is getting tired of me asking for $ to order something every week. I tell ya, its hard being a budget-conscious bride. If only I had an unlimited budget! Here's to dreaming!

According to Chandlyn: Hi Yolanda The cost of the Day pass is US50 per person for off-property wedding guests.They are allowed to come to the resort one hour before the wedding and stay as late as 2:00am. They are allowed to come on property for the rehearsal and welcome party by purchasing a pass. Regards Chandlyn I didn't ask her when the $ is paid, but I'm assuming that you would give her the names of the guests & the $ when you meet with her.

For some reason, I went back to the site & wound up looking at their FAQ's. Here's what I came across: Do you sell wholesale? At this time we do not sell wholesale. However, please be sure to check our volume discounts and our reseller's program. So I then went to: Do you offer volume discounts? Take advantage of our DISCOUNT schedule! These discounts will be automatically applied to your order at checkout. Discounts may change without prior notice. Purchase between... (excludes sales tax and shipping charges) $200.00 and $399.99 save 5% on your order $400.00 and $599.99 save 10% on your order $600.00 and $799.99 save 15% on your order $800.00 and $999.99 save 20% on your order $1,000.00 and up save 25% on your order So this was interesting. I will still contact them on Monday & see if they'll offer anything additional.

Glad that you were surprised! Can't wait to hear all about it & ofcourse see some pics.

Tara you're making this sooo hard!! LOL...My original pick was the Watters dress, but you look great in the dress. I still like the Watters dress but it helps that we can see you in this dress. If you were really comfortable in it & like it then I say go for it.

Amanda! Great to know we have another ROR bride. Happy Planning!

We're having 27 but have to order 36. We'll just give the extras to family & friends who couldnt make it. I'm ordering either the plastic ones in aqua or maybe the stainless steel ones. Haven't quite decided yet. I also think I picked the same clip art that you used-the couple under the palm tree. I did a mock order & they came out sooo nice. I can't wait to finalize the order & get them. Someone should contact them & make them develop a BDW discount code for as much as we order from them! LOL

Quote: Originally Posted by Heidi I found one! A whopping 3% off, but hey every little bit helps, right? Code is DM2007, and it worked for me last night. Thank you Heidi! You're sooo right. 3% is better than nothing!!

Quote: Originally Posted by atjorgensen OMG...so like i said i called and ordered each of these too..... today i hear a knock at the door and see ups deliver a box. i get it inside and open it and it is a 17lb box of these brochures...there has to be 100 of each at least!! wtf am i gonna do with all of them?! i feel horrible!! so....be sure to specify how many you want them to send. i needed 3 ps. LOL Quote: Originally Posted by Lizz I'd be interested too and can give you the $ for shipping? I did my own booklets, but would like to have some of these to put in the OOT bags. If you still have extra, I'd love to get some too. I'd need about 20 & would pay for shipping as well.

Very nice. Way better than what I had in mind! Add me to the stealing list.

This is such a great idea. I'm definitely gonna think about doing this.

. I'm a fellow ROR bride too! You'll find great information here!

You're so right! Anything to keep BDW going!

Quote: Originally Posted by Morgan exactly my feelings. I didn't feel like myself today without it. Me either. It's absolutely shameful how many times I tried to log on today! I think I should go to some type of meeting & say "Hi, my name is Yolanda & I'm a BDWaholic".

Oh cool. Thanks for posting the picture. Who can complain about 50 cents?? Great deal.

Ok, so lets make the deadline Monday, February 18th. Neuland, do you think you can update your first post with this idea, asking if anyone would like to go in with us if we're able to get a group/bulk discount?

Here's what I have so far: IrieBride08-30 Yari-40 Sharonie-10 chibi411-20 nueland-9 LMP333-30

I'm thinking that we should try to do this soon too especially since they are on sale. So how about we make the deadline Monday, February 18th or maybe Wednesday, February 20th

We went on a cruise that included Aruba & Barbados & fell in love with their beaches. Soft sand & crystal clear water in all shades of blue. And talk about warm water! It was great!!!
