Vanessa is going to be my daughter's photographer at EDR in May. She has been great to respond quickly to all our questions via email. We are looking forward to working with her in person at the wedding.

"We really would appreciate a little money of our own, instead of a little gift for our new home!" We know you want to find something nice But it's such a hassle to find the right price So come and enjoy the day all sunny We really would appreciate a little money. Tacky in the highest degree! I can't imagine having the guts to print this on your invite. I can't imagine getting an invite with it printed on it. It would be time to make more recycled doves.

If you fold 1000 you get to make a wish. He made them from magazine pages that he cut into squares. I donated a lot of magazines so I got a portion of the cranes. They are flying above my desk at work. OK, I had to go get a kleenex to wipe my tears I was laughing so hard. I'm thinking maybe we can hang the doves from the gazebo and have a bird cage nearby for people to stuff the cash into.

I think you girls ought to take all the registry enclosures and make some of those cute origami doves out of them - they are supposed to bring good luck for your wedding, you know!

You might want to wait till close to your wedding before you make copies, as the currency rate can change daily. Thanks for the great website.

Great booklet! I had already started working on puzzles for my daughter's OOT bags, and will probably borrow a few of your ideas. Thanks for sharing the websites.

Love the guest book pages AND the story of how you met!

The prices, from lowest to highest, should be in the same order as you have them with Excellence costing the most.

Very nice, Maura! You did a great job. Can't wait to see your invites.

Thanks for posting your review. I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures.

I'm worried I'll forget this year & end up at the postoffice at midnight. I do NOT like doing taxes, but feel an obligation to finish them so I won't go to jail. It wouldn't be so bad if we were getting a big fat refund like my daughter is. : )

Welcome! Do you have a resort picked out yet? There are alot of great ideas here on the forum. Have fun planning.

We need you, what with being so busy doing taxes and all... Yep, I'm the mom that helps with the wedding stuff AND the tax stuff. Just marking things off my to-do list.........!

Welcome to the foum, Cody!

El Dorado Seaside Suites has stationary AND swinging beach beds (my personal favorite). They are all covered.

Looks like there's lots of good stuff at some great prices.

Welcome Josh! It's great to have more guys on here. We love to get their perspective on this whole wedding business. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding and also on your willingness to help your lucky bride.

My daughter's guests are paying $267 per room per night for the garden view suite. This comes out to $133.50 a person. Of course some are upgrading their accomodations to oceanfront, swim up, and casitas.

Thanks for checking on the SPF. I also loved the lid colors, but think we'll need some sun protection.

Oh yes, your time is definitely well spent! We've used so many of your ideas, even my husband now knows about Morgan!

Thanks, Morgan, for putting this together. It will help the people who don't fly much feel more confident about getting through the airport. BDW brides will be using this for years to come!

Those are beautiful. Your guests will love them.

Did they have any SPF in them?

I "hope" my daughter is liking my help......I'm trying to let her make ALL the decisions and not be pushy. I offer suggestions and of course not all of them are appreciated! She's not the type to like lots of details, but that's my area - I LOVE lists! We have a running joke now that before anything is decided on, she has to tell me "Final Answer".
