I have thought about doing the same thing, it would be nice not to be the last group delivered to the resorts, and also, the ROR seems very popular, I can imagine this would save the hassle of check in. I"m using Lee's as well based on MoWife's recommendation. Here's their website. Just send them an email & they will respond-promptly! They have been excellent to deal with.

This would be a great idea. Right now, I'm looking at needing about 30. Someone mentioned giving 1 to each person as opposed to 1 per couple. I don't know what I was thinking when I thought about 1 per couple... I also love the palm tree idea since I'm using that alot. Initially I was looking at the stainless steel mugs. I think its style #ST58. Those would be $4.39 for 36+. But I also like the one's you suggested so that won't be a problem. Oh, I also have a free shipping code. But that expires Feb 10th. Also, according to the email, the prices will be going up by 10% after that!!! I'll check my email for other free offers to use if we go with this idea.

I totally understand your frustration! I agree with Angela & for every call that you get I'd refer them to your website for the info. For each call say that you're busy & can't really talk at the moment & send them on their merry way right to your site!

I looked at Office Depot and Dollar Tree, but can't find anything I like. Thanks! Hey Lizz, I too love Angela's idea & I found bags at Michaels. They are cellophane candy bags & come in different sizes. Something like this: “Red Hot†Cellophane Candy Bag Hope that helps. Thanks Angela for the inspiration!! : )

Welcome to the "disappointed in family turnout" club. This is something that I think most of us have dealt with. I don't think you're being unreasonable & can understand your frustration. While everyone says that they need advance notice, once they have it, it seems it still doesn't make a difference. I think that people probably feel that they have plenty of time since your wedding isn't for another year. They probably don't see any reason to give a deposit now when they have a whole year to make their plans. Trust me when I tell you that you will probably have people making reservations up to 1 month before your wedding. In the meantime, try to let it go, although I know thats easier said than done. Don't make anymore calls & let things fall into place. I know you just want to know if they are going, but do you want people to string you along now only to tell you later that they can't attend? Maybe prepare yourself for the idea that very few of your family members will attend. If you can handle that idea then you'll be fine. I know it sucks but keep in mind that as long as you & FI are there, thats all you need!

Not too long ago I started working for the Body Shop & now I'm hooked on their products, especially the ones for your skin/face. I never had a daily face routine, but now I do. I love their Vitamin E line or grapeseed. I also love that they use natural ingredients. Mostly, I have learned the importance of: 1-exfoliating 2-cleansing 3-toning 4-moisturizing I don't care what products you use, you should definitely do those 4 things everyday & every night before bed! I have eczema & used to use medication for it but now I see a huge difference. In terms of makeup I'm really gonna need a lot of help in that area. I wouldn't know how to put on foundation if I tried

Very nice Courtney!!! Love the guestbook idea. Those pics should turn out great! Also, love your BM dresses & absolutely love your dress. The detailing is soo pretty. Can't wait to see everything else.

Welcome Cherisse! You'll love it here! Get ready to become addicted to BDW. It'll happen before you even realize it but its well worth it.

Tiffany & Congratulations. You'll find a lot of information here & everyone is helpful & wonderful. Like you said, 2009 will be here before you know it!!! Have fun & Happy Planning!

I've found that here on BDW there is no such thing as a stupid question! All you have to do is make copies of the things you need, Birth certificate, Drivers License, etc & take them to a Notary Public. Anytime you see a sign on a business that says Notary Public, thats where you go to get things notarized. The fee is very nominal. You should even ask around, sometimes people are notary's & you wouldn't even know it.

That really sucks! I think its great though that you would consider paying the difference for Angie. I think you should talk to Kelly & tell her what an inconveinence this would be for Angie. How would she feel if Angie pulled the same thing & she was stuck having to pay for a room by herself? I mean wasn't the whole idea that they would be saving $ rooming together? How do you plan to do something & then just pull out? Especially when you've budgeted for something specific? You should bring up the fact that Angie may not be able to go because she can't afford to room alone. She should really think about that! Other than that, is there anyone else Angie could possibly room with?

Robert totally annoyed me last night. I hope he's over himself. But I had to laugh when Diddy had them in the office & asked Robert if he had any B*^&%A$$ness in him I was like wow. He then said Bad Boy will not have any B*^&%A$$ness. I have to start using that term. I think Q & Dawn are cute and obviously D Woods & Robert will not be getting together. And I don't wanna see Aubrey with Donnie at all. I'm trying to figure out how I can get Donnie home & not have FI notice. : )

I truly feel your pain & am in the same boat. I know you said you don't care anymore & you want all of this to be over, but PLEASE don't let them take all the fun & love out of whats supposed to be the best time of your life. From this point on, I'd keep all my info to myself. I wouldn't share any other wedding details with them. I wouldn't call them before I left & I darn sure wouldn't call them when I got back. You better hope you feel better to give them pictures of everything that they missed!!! Screw everyone else from this point on. I know it sucks & I know you're pissed & FI is hurt, but its ALL about you two. Here's to feeling better soon

So cool Abbie! Can't wait to see the message-in-a-bottle!

Jessica those came out great!

Everything looks great!!! You'll definitely have to share some of your secrets! LOL

I think she told me that they accept cash, travelers cheques & credit cards. You may want to check with her again. And remember, if you pay for photography with a cc there is a charge.

This is soo exciting & I'd love to come. Just keep me posted. Gotta try to figure out how to lure FI there. I can totally see the look on his face when I say "Yeah, we're going to meet my friends from BDW. Yesss, those are the people that I talk to online alllll the time. Yesss, we talk about weddings & planning alllll day long. Yesss, I realize that our wedding has past but we still have plenty to talk about! Yesss, I know they're strangers & we don't know them from Adam. Yesss, I want to go & I want you to come with me." Can you see where this is going LOL
