It's easier to write checks when you have the money than to do actual work to make a DW happen, IMHO. tami i know all about this part, believe me! i am in your same spot. doug is the main breadwinner at our house, and when i work OT to save up money to help, my doubletime hours still dont add up to his regular pay! so he has been working all the OT to pay for stuff, but i've been doing all the work. Thanks for letting me vent... vent away! you know we love to listen! your wedding is going to be so amazing, just try to focus on the reason you're doing all this, the love you two have for each other! and BREATHE!!

OOH artichokes! And baaaacuuuhhhnnn. Ahhhhhhh (drool like Homer Simpson)

There was already a similar thread question, check this out to see what we came up with: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t17261 maybe it will help?

See above for Vinegar question... balsamic! What do you look for in a salad dressing? fantastic taste! no "oily" feel in my mouth after. How important is packaging? very! i love cool designs or fun looking, interesting labels. How much do you usually pay for a gourmet type salad dressing? $4-5, unless it is at a fair or show like you mentioned, then i would go up to $6. anything else you can think of? do we get to be your taste testers??

Nope, sorry Andrea, no more pics I was the only one who broke out the camera, altho I'm sure J-M might have if we'd have asked.

So beautiful! Thanks for sharing! I LOVE your shade of turquoise, esp. how the BM dresses matched perfectly with the sash on the gazebo! Too perfect! Love it!

Thanks Therese! Going to check it out now!

wow good deal! that's quite a lot of stuff, dont forget you have to haul it all down with you! yikes!

Cali, you should just start it off like you said above, "I feel horrible but my DH has a job in Colorado. I didn't know how to tell you, I need to give my 30 days notice. I'm sorry because I know how tough it is to get childcare. I do know someone that might be able to help you, her name is Jane Smith."

I'm confused, you mean if you do postcard reply cards and they fill in the left side on the back, like when you fill out a real postcard? Or like Sarah said, where they just jot something off to the side??

We have asked our guests to coordinate with our bridal party (if they want to) because we are taking group photos and I'd like everyone to match! Erin, that is a great idea. I'm gonna have to borrow it!

Tami, it's really cool! So beachy! My FMIL gets lots of cool ribbons at Costo, believe it or not. Huge rolls.

Oh man Heidi! So excited for you and Reggie! And I can't WAIT to see how you end up doing your hair, altho it looks like the vote went in favor of all UP, you never said what you decided to do! Can't wait to see all your pics. Have an awesome trip and a spectacular day!

Kelly, they're awesome! You are so pretty, can't wait to see the rest! Matt is gonna go bonkers!

Oh Betsy, so pretty! Love it and can't wait to see you all done up!

YAY Bets! Those are so fun! But you should have shown us the pics from the other night, not way back in Jan of 07! J/K

OMG I'm sorry, but I LOVE your hair, and I don't think it would look right at all! YAY for Joe!

Oh, our little Frankenstein (L)and Chica Mia would just melt I'm gonna try it.

AHHHH! NOT COOL! You would think you would know if you had them floating around the house somewhere, or in the trunk? Hopefully they are like 'Oh yeah, we've been waiting for you to come pick them up' or something!

I'm so excited to see her review! Wouldn't it just be cheaper if you paid your mom's deposit and she can pay you back? Might be better than paying a lot more later on down the road. Congratulations, Abbie!! That would be a fantastic idea excepr WE don't even have enough for ours! My dad is paying for us. And I don't think my stepmom would be too keen on them paying hers too.. But, you never know! I might just ask anyways..? We'll see!
