Your invites came out great. i really love the blue color.

Those look great and the cornflower blue color that you used is sooo pretty.

Dear guy Lisa works with, Ewwwwwww Thanks, Danielle

I think it's cute. If your not happy with it i'm sure you can find them in Mexico, i would always see them at the souvenir shops and the Mexican outlet forget what it's called.

i think they are cute

Those are cute, even without the saying.

Sorry about your foot. hope your not in pain.

you don't have to have a ahr. i'm not doing one.

Boooo no pic, j/k postcards are a great idea. if you want to show a pic you can save the pic on your computer than upload it into photobucket (it's free to make an account or you could use the forums acct i don't know the info), then after it uploads you just have to copy the IMG code and past it into your message.

there was an episode of "Whose Wedding Is It Anyway" about a month ago where a man was marrying a woman that had two kids from a previous relationship but he was adopting him (i'm not sure what happened with their dad). At their ceremony after they did their vowels they had vowels with their children about how they were going to be a family now and then they gave each one of their children a necklace, it was really sweet.

Most people check them in their baggage. But with the new airline regulations it is getting expensive. Some people buy some of their stuff in Mexico like snacks from Sam's or Bjs in mexico. I'm handing them out before we leave and people can just bring them theirselves.

I would wait to put it on because it will be more special. i think it would lose it's meaning.

i remember that episode too. MTV definately picked the right couple for that episode, they were crazy!

what kind of things are you worried about going bad? I know the single packets of pepto and tylenol i bought have an expiration date on them.

I think they look great.

Im on travel for work now for 4 days and Im sure you know that all i can think is that is 4 days that I cant do something for the wedding. But maybe thats a good thing because i was starting to stress myself out. I never thought I would be that type of bride because I thought oh destination wedding = easy. HA! but it has been a lot of fun planning and i cant imagine what i will do when it is all over. I picked up my dress last week and I cried because i dont think it fits right. I accused the lady of not taking it in. She said if she takes it in anymore i wont be able to sit down. I actually contemplated that then realized I had lost it. I guess the stress is getting to me and I am losing weight in all the wrong places but i dont see it and i still feel like my stomach wont budge! But anyway I picked the Beach BBQ. I chose choice #3 for the menu. SALADS: Classic Caesar salad with grilled sea scallops; Field green salad with grilled vegetables, feta cheese, and balsamic vinaigrette; BBQ chicken chopped salad ON THE GRILL: Baby pork ribs BBQ; Salmon medallions; Rib eye steak; Half lobsters DESSERT: Custard flan; Passion fruit mousse; Chocolate cake with mint essence. I wished i could have mixed and matched from all of the choices but Im pretty happy with this one. My wedding starts at 5, cocktail hour at 6 and reception 7 -10. I am so worried that people will get bored. Im not having a DJ (using an IPOD) I just couldnt justify the cost especially when I asked about when I asked about the playlist and i couldnt receive it. I have 37 guests. Any ideas on what i can do to entertain them from 7 - 10 or am I overanalyzing as usual. I think the 4 days break from wedding stuff would do ya good. Sometimes i need a mental break like that. i love the beach bbq menu you picked out. Sounds really good. are they charging you for the 45 people minimum? I only have about 31 people going now so i wont have anywhere near the minimum. I'm leaning towards having my reception on the olympic terrace now instead of the beach. So i don't have to worry about lighting and a dance floor. I think your guests will be fine from 7-10. eating, the dances (bride/groom, father/daughter, etc), and cake cutting probably eats an hr. so there's two hrs where they can mingle and dance themselves. i think the time will fly by. I'm sure you look beautiful in your dress, your just stressed right now. I can't wait to hear how everything turned out when you get back!

You can contact a couple of TA's if you like. There are a lot of great ones on this forum, i think they each specialize in a certain area like Jamaica, Riviera Maya, etc. and contact a few local ones near you. And then you can choose whomever you are more comfortable with.

I would tell her that if she's like to get a new dress she needs to get to DB asap. it will give her some incentive to make time to go since she doesn't like the current dress.

Your work can just take you off light duty like that, that's messed up. I'm glad that you are moving on because i don't like the way your work is treating you.

i voted for 3, i like the color and i like the little greenery through it, very simple and elegant

i like the chocolate one from davids better. Can you return the other and get all your money back? Since your sis is the one having the dress issues i would make sure she tried the one on at davids before you have the other girls order it. Your sis can't get to the store any sooner. Have you thought about just telling them to get chocolate brown dresses and then letting them pick the style. This way your sis can find one she's comfortable with.

Wow those are your quickie invites, they're beautiful. I really like the folder with the cut outs so pretty. I think they look like you purchased them, i would never think you did them yourself and in a hurry too.

I would be really frustrated too. It seems like a lot of the resorts have a high turnover with WC and we suffer for it!

I'll keep your mom in my thoughts. i hope she gets well soon.
