It's beautiful. I really love the kitchen, great cabinets and an island. The floors are really nice too. Backyard is great size. Congratulations and goodluck with it!!!

Although your upset about her not inviting your mother and not even talking to you about it first, i don't think you can say anything to her. I wouldn't take it personal. Even though she invited 200 people, sometimes that still isn't enough to include everyone you want to. I know i had to invite about 60 people who i have seen maybe 5 times my whole life because it's my dad's family maybe she had some pressure from her parents and her fis parents on people that needed to be invited. Plus maybe if she invited her mom than there are 10 other people that she would feel like she should invite. It really does add up and sometimes you have to make cuts even if you don't really want to. I'm sorry, i don't mean to be a debbie downer. But i do agree with the previous post, if she's been slacking on the moh duties than you can definately talk to her about that.

They came out great.

Great stuff Steph! the flip flops look realy nice, you did a great job with them.

Everytime I see this post i want to order more stuff for my oot bags. I'm trying so hard not to. hehe And the sad part is that i already bought pepto for my bags but now i want to buy immodium too. Can you tell that i have a really sick shopping addiction!!!

I really don't feel like having to worry about assigning seats. I didn't think it was a big deal, im glad you girls don't either.

That is shadey, they removed the promo while on the phone with you and told you to refresh your screen. And you know that setup fee is really high, it can't cost them that much. Let us know if they stand by their original promo price.

It might sound corny to some people that your going but it will probably be a ton of fun for you. I like going to things that i can relive my care free teenage years.

all the bridal showers that i've been to in my area where kept secret from the bride. mine is going to be a secret. But i like the idea of girls knowing about it so they can plan for it like picking out a really cute dress. the bridal shower is thrown for you so if someone wants to throw you one than i would let them, you dont have to have a big shower, you could just do a small one. Some girls have even had lingerie parties instead of bridal showers that might be fun!

Here's her website Sproullie Designs | Custom Photobooks, Invitations and more! I got mine from ayleedesigns.com

you should check out Sarah's. she'll do one for free but her prices are reasonable if you want her to do others.

I really like the menus you choose. And the idea of using them as place cards is very good, score one for the fi.

Geez, they won't honor something they posted. I can't imagine how big of a promotion it could of been that they still won't make money of you. if they are going to make money than just honor it, wtf!

Welcome to the forum, i've never been to the Atlantis but i've heard it's beautiful. goodluck!

welcome to the forum, goodluck with your planning!

What cute lil pups! fsil wants to eventually get a westie unfortunately she lives in NJ.

I'm really considering doing Alli. i've been working out and eating very healthy (except for last week) and i'm not really losing. I think i'll just try to keep losing it with diet and exercise and maybe if i still don't have great results i'll try alli in about a month.

the necklace i would wear again definately. prob not the earrings. But are you worried about them being able to wear the earrings again?

Goodluck tomorrow, very smart for you to get a group of people to help put them together. Make sure you post pics when they're done.

Oooh i like those target ones, and $15 you can't beat that.

victorias secret had some cute ones online and they are probably on sale now too.

Your dress is gorgeous. I love the train it's beautiful. your fi is too funny posing in his suit. I think your bm gifts are great. if you want to add something small you could add makeup bags and just fill them with travel size toiletries. You could get the stuff pretty cheap at target.

I want to do one long table too. i will have around 30 guests. for those of you that did the long tables, did you do assigned seating and how did you assign seats? like groom's fam on one side, bride's fam on other. Or bridal party closest to you and than family. I never really thought about what the proper way of seating people is until my grandmother said something at my bro's small wedding (20 people) that the bridal party should be next to the couple. Do people actually care about this, i don't want to offend anyone.

Maybe wrap sandwiches like tuna salad wraps, turkey wraps, chicken salad wraps, etc

I think i missed ya, but i hope you have a great trip.
