Both I guess. I am asking them to RSVP to me by our website or via phone. But I also gave them the TA information and it is there responsibility to set up their trip. My TA is keeping me updated on who books through her.

Just mho I agree! My TA strongly advised not even having them fly in the day before, just in case. (Especially since we are leaving from MN in January...and ya never know with weather). So most of my guests will be coming Sat for our Monday wedding.

Congrats!!!! That is so very exciting.... have a wonderful trip and a beautiful wedding day! Can't wait to hear how everything goes.

So cute! The colors are great and love the tear off feature.

That's a tough one. We have a bridal party... but it seems to be changing monthly. I sometimes wish we would have skipped it, or just kept it to our siblings who we know are coming (my 2 sisters, my brother and his brother). It's the additional friends that have been problematic with the whole dropping (or potentially) dropping out of the party due to cost. If possible, I would agree that waiting until they book would be a great idea. That is one thing I wished we would have done.... we didn't ask until people verbally told us they would be coming. But now that its closer to having to actually put money down, friends are having second thoughts. Looking back though, even with all the hassles and switching around I am happy we are having one. I guess, I personally always have imagined having one and think it will complete the day. We love everyone in our party and are excited to have them share in our day. It's defintely more work and stress, but for us I think its worth it. We'll see what I'm saying next January though ; )

Everything looks great! Your bags are so cute. : ) I have the same aloe you do... and my mom thinks I was crazy for buying them saying they will weigh a ton. I think the OOT stuff will just have to have its own bag.

Vista print always has some great deals! Unfortunatley once you sign up for the email list... you will get different "great deals" every 3 days or so... it gets a bit annoying.

It's beautiful! My ring has a canadian diamond as well... which my FI is really proud of (as he is canadian). : )

Well, we were about to move into our new house so I was cleaning out the rooms we don't use much. The office had been completely cleaned out so I had my wedding dress and TTD dress in our joined closet at our old house. He came home so we could close on the house and he was sooo tired he hadn't slept all night. He opened the closet door to grab one of his shirts and reached in and touched the TTD dress. His eyes got huge and he looked like he was about to cry. He thought it was my wedding dress (the wedding dress was in a bag and hidden in the back) it took me a second to figure out why he looked like he just ran over my dog. I realized he thought he just cursed our wedding LMAO! It was sooo cute and now I know he hasn't peeked at my wedding dress. I felt so bad for him because he couldn't even talk, he didn't know what to say. I finally busted out laughing and said "that's not my wedding dress" HA HA HA Hehe... that is a great story! Poor guy. And the dress looks absolutely beautiful!

so cute! i love them!

Beautiful!!! I love the second one. Can't wait to see the rest.

very pretty!

Have you been able to do it and have it look cute?

I'm sorry you have to deal with this! Hopefully the phone calls go okay tomorrow and they step up to fulfill their commitment! Let us know how it goes.

So sweet! Nice job : )

Welcome from another Jan '09 ROR bride!!! Happy Planning : )

Anyone order it yet?

Congrats!!!! Have a wonderful time. : ) I'm so jealous! hehe And can't wait to see some pics of your toes!

Corny yes but I fell in love with him again last night Ahh... that is so sweet! : ) I'm happy today... because my future sister-in-law called me last night and agreed to be my bridesmaid!!! : ) She hadn't seen the card in the box we sent so when I hadn't heard from her after they recieved it... I was expecting bad news and that she was trying to think of a way to kindly decline. But she said yes and is super excited!!! : ) Although I already have 2 sisters of my own, I am so excited to gain another one! She is awesome.

We are having it in on a Monday. I wanted to avoid the crazyness of the weekends... and I figured it would be a good time as our guests will likely be travleing either Sat-Sat or Sat-Wed.

Congrats and happy planning!
