So i actually did put together my bm gift bags and our mothers gift bags. I gave my sis hers today. And i'm going to drop off fsil's to her tonight and fmil's tonight too. Then i'll see my mom on Monday. It's kinda nice getting some stuff out of my house. And all but 3 thank you cards are filled out. so i gave the ones that are done to my sister so she could mail them and put my return address on them. So that's done too. Check and check!

I guess your glad that's finally over. At least you now know what you already suspsected.

I just got my papers back from WEDO.com.do it was really easy and only $240. Not bad I heard prices a lot worse.

Sorry i'm no help with Charlotte but i'm sorry about your fi losing his job.

So I have and I got a call from Orbitz last night telling me that my hotel is under construction and that my upgraded suite is not available. FI called today to talk to the people and couldn't get anywhere. I'm PISSED. It's my f'ing wedding and I want my bleeping suite! Why do bad wedding things corespond with PMS? Last month I got my see through wedding dress. This month my hotel is under major construction and I don't get a suite for my f'ing wedding. I'm so sick of this wedding. That really sucks. did your fi call the hotel directly? they have to have some suties available right? Maybe he can tell them it's his wedding and he needs a suite for it! PMS or not i'd be bummed. Celina, where did you get your bag for your dress? I've been assuming i'll get one when i pick up my dress but now i'm not so sure. So i might need a back up or at least know where i can find a nice big one.

Oh yeah i have luggage tags to do too. I made them on the computer i think i printed them. so i should just have to cut them and put them together. Where did i put them, that's the question.

Surviror is his all time fav show. Some seasons i like sometimes i cant get into it. But I really liked James (the gravedigger), he was the guy i picked in the beginning and he just seemed like the nicest guy. So the last two seasons since he was on it I was really into it cause i wanted him to win.

I havent been to HI yet but fi has gone a few times with his fam (his sis went to college there, lucky girl). I can ask him where he stayed when i see him tonight.

those are the most adorable STD ever! I love them. I'm a flip flop lover and would love to get that in the mail.

Oh and if your staying in Riviera Maya you could definately do some shopping for favors and things for oot bags there. It's a really close cab ride to Playa and there is a ton of shops to get stuff there.

My WC at my resort said not to ship anything down to Punta Cana. so check with yours first. I was planning on splitting up stuff between me, my parents, and my sis but now what we are doing is: - handing out oot bags a week before we leave - just bringing favors (also our placecards), cake topper, dress, grooms attire, program fans. we are taking everything on the plane with us. so fi insisted i keep it to a minimum. Boo!

that house is beautiful. the kitchen is huge. I would love to have a kitchen like that. And the backyard with the deck and pool area is really nice. I have to admit i'm slightly jealous right now. I'm crossing my fingers that everything goes through and you can get it.

i bought the jewel cases and put a label on the cd so i didnt have to insert a paper cover into the jewel case. Here's a pic of mine: back label with songs:

That's such a great game to get tickets for. I hope you win them, they are so hard to get and expensive. I also dont know anyone who knows an Eagle. i used to know girls that would babysit for a tight end but he isnt with the Eagles anymore. Sorry.

I know that I totally slacked off, and I have been drinking pop again, so time to quit again and get this done right, since I get married right after we are finished. Come on Erica you can do it. We are so close to our weddings. Quote: Originally Posted by Bisha I am officially at my highest weight!!!! Soooo glad I'm doing this!

Alrighty ladies, if I dont speak to you before the end of the day today, wish me luck in my travels and I'll see/post when I get back from Costa Rica Have a ton of fun in Costa Rica

when i had my hair cut real short I curled it for a wedding. I used a small curling iron to make wavy curls. it was different than my normal straight short cut. I got a ton of compliments on it too.

I say cut it. I like how your hair was styled in the pic with the dress, can you do that with short hair?

Your fi's response was really cute. I also changed my date and had to get married on a Thursday. then i had to change flight departures and room departures after my guests had already booked their rooms. I was also freaking out but it worked out. My TA handled everything. It's good you have a TA that you trust, let her handle as much as she can for you. And relax, everything will work out. I still have people asking me what day we are getting married and my wedding is 6 weeks away. I'm sure if you have to tell people you changed your date they wont care. No worries!

I did one bag for couples and one bag for each single. For items like cups I put two in the couples bags. I spent around $30 per bag. But you can spend whatever you want.

We booked our rooms 11 months out and airfare 9 months out. We had a problem when we booked the airfare because direct flight werent available for the dates we booked the rooms, so our TA had to talk to the resort to see if they would let us switch arrival and departure dates. Luckily they did but you might want to wait for air to come out before you book the rooms. Have you talked to a TA? Did you put down a deposit for your wedding? This way your date is saved. We did that first.

Beautiful dress. I agree with the barefoot sandals. I bought ones for my bms from Agape, she does a great job. Very easy to work with too.

I dont think people will mind flying on a Thursday. My guests are flying on a Monday or Wednesday. And if they fly on Thursday it gives them a couple of days off from work, maybe thats a good thing. Dont stress it will all work out.
