I have check the DollarTree and the Target travel size area with no luck. Does anybody have any advice on where I can find cheap after-sun lotion or aloe? TIA

It seems like there are many brides on here that are having the JCrew strapless beach dress for their BM dresses. Does anybody know where we can see actual pictures of BM in these dresses from past weddings? Heres a link to the dress: Strapless Embossed Beach Dress - Solids & Textures - Dresses - JCrew.com

no wonder why i love this site so much =) you all are great! i think i'm going to do an iron on transfer and spruce it up with some rhinestones. that way the letters will look good and straight.

how about iron-on transfer? would i burn the material if i try to do it that way? im el cheapo anyways but i would normally say ok to a $50 bikini except the cruise will be the only time i want my last name plastered across my @ss so it will never be used again...thats why i am looking for inexpensive alternatives.

I would love to suprise my FI with a bikini the day after the wedding that says "Mrs. B..." in rhinestones. Can't I just make one of these with a packet of rhinestones and some special glue? How would I get the letters straight? Please help! I checked online and I see some for like $50 so if I have to, I guess I will just buy one. Thanks DIY experts!

good find! thanks for sharing =)

They look so strange together...like a Mommy and her teenage son. MC is frickin' crazy. Of course you're going to be "totally in love" with the guy for the 1st 3 months...you haven't even passed any "farticles" in front of eachother yet =) LOL

Has anyone ordered the after-sun lotion?? How does it smell? Or the tote bags? It sounds like this site is kinda shady from the shipping compliants and zero customer service.

I guess I'll be the hater of the group...I think I heard they haven't even been together for very long. The wedding...then tatoos...age difference...I am just glad they signed the pre-nup! Oh ya...I LOVE the shoes =)

check on old navy. they had a good selection of both the linen pants and embroidered tops.

beautiful shots...i hope my ttd turns out just as great!

what a beautiful book. i love it!

question for the techies out there...if i buy one of the portable ipod docking stations and it says "compatible with audio devices with standard headset input" does that mean i can plug in a microphone to this and use it as the speaker set??

very cute invites! i love the "tie the knot" part

https://secure.tech-army.org/pxnew/p...asp?n=33&c=129You guys are so awesome! After seeing starchild's posting, I did some searching of my own to rent a sound system and found this for $99....a 10 day rental! This hotel is really getting under my skin...it feels like they are intentionally inflating EVERYTHING!!

They want to charge me 500 for the sound system at the ceremony. That is soo crazy! I want everyone to be able to hear us at the ceremony...is a sound system necessary? We expect about 30 people and are saying vows right on the beach...any past brides out there with feedback on guests being able to hear? I am at a loss of what to do. The vows are what we are all there for afterall and we are writing them ourselves so it is extra special. But 500 for 15 minutes....AAARRGHH.

this is one of my fav threads. it made me change the list i have for items to put in my oot bags, confirmed the importance of a good photographer, makes me happy with the small cake in our package, and not so freaked out about the inexpensive dress i found that i LOVE. keep them coming guys =)

can you post the recipe to make a bath bomb please? these are the same things as the bath fizzes right? that is a cute add to a oot bag and i'd love to add it to mine! =)

i am not willing to pay for the arch either (more money to pay the photographer!). i think i have decided on doing a heavily petaled aisle to designate the space. i don't think i will miss it either.

I guess the "Will you be my bridesmaid?" cards were a hit. All three of my BMs were balling when they saw the pictures and read the poems. (There are a few inside jokes which may not make sense) bm card-11.ppt

absolutely adorable! what a cute idea

I double checked with Carnival to make sure they do not have a corporate policy for passports and they do not. Maybe you were required to have a passport because the cruise was to Honduras. The "Western Hemisphere" is under a diffent policy and those areas include: Areas that fall under the WHTI: Canada Mexico Bermuda The Caribbean region (includes 17 regions) We are going to Jamiaca and the Caymans so we are good to go. The travel agent did urge us to have them anyways and many of the travelers in our group do but for those who don't this was a great PLUS. Here is a little exerpt from the travel.state.gov website about the policy: AIR TRAVEL ALL PERSONS traveling by air outside of the United States are required to present a passport or other valid travel document to enter or re-enter the United States. LAND AND SEA TRAVEL The following summarizes information available on the Department of Homeland Security’s website. CURRENTLY: U.S. citizens need to present either (a) a passport, passport card (available in spring 200, or WHTI-compliant document; or ( a government-issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, along with proof of citizenship, such as a birth certificate. LATER: On June 1, 2009, the U.S. government will implement the full requirements of the land and sea phase of WHTI. The proposed rules require most U.S. citizens entering the United States at sea or land ports of entry to have a passport, passport card, or WHTI-compliant document. Note: The passport requirement does NOT apply to U.S. citizens traveling to or returning directly from a U.S. territory.

I just talked to my cruise agent and there is not a requirement for cruise passengers to have a passport until June 2009. I know this was a major concern for alot of our guests becuase they did not have a passport...wanted to pass along the good news.

Oh I love the chest idea. The only thing that concerns me about that is the fact that the wedding is taking place in the middle of the cruise so the "favorite memory" may not have happend yet. i aggree about people not sending them though. maybe I'll come up with a way to pass out the cards on the final night of the cruise at dinner or something.
