Hey everyone, I tried to do a search for this (and look on the shutterfly website) but I couldn't find anything... When you order a photo book from Shutterfly, how long does it typically take to receive it? I am trying to book my boudoir shoot and am planning on creating my own book on shutterfly but I want to make sure that I have enough time from the shoot time to the book ordering time to get everything done by late april! I am looking to do my shoot in Feb. Thanks!

Matt thinks its soooo funny that I'm like "oh, Celina had 70 shitheads not show for her AHR and Casey is coming to Dallas and Andrea had 4 more people book at the last minute!". I tell him about my day - which includes all of yall So thanks to you all for being there and listening to my wedding stuff (and sharing yours!). I would probably lose a few friends if I talked to them about my wedding as much as I talk to yall! haha...that is a good one...I have to totally agree with you on that one I too didn't fully understand all of it when I joined...now my FI makes fun of me for being on the forum all of the time...he will say stuff like "oh you finished the invites, better hurry and take pics to post them on your little forum!"...then I will tell him something like..."don't worry I already did!"

BUT SERIOUSLY!? those two frat boys are totally lucky...they should have been kicked off weeks ago! I don't think they have much of a chance of taking it all!

wow everything looks good, have a great time! I love your little sayings on the maracas I have been looking for something like that!

I'm so jealous. We did a site visit with Kelley back in July and it was absolutely gorgeous. We went out with the day tour and she just deducted the amount that we paid from our wedding package. As far as places to stay - we stayed downtown at Villa Del PalMar. I wouldn't recommend it (the atmosphere isn't that great and think lots of little kids - don't get me wrong, I love kids but not the type of setting we were looking for) Anyway, have fun and I can't wait to hear about it when you get back!!! So you wouldn't recommend Villa Del Palmar? good to know...a few of my friends are looking into staying there for the wedding because they think they will be too far away from everything if they stay in Nuevo Vallarta with us! So MAYBE if i tell them that it is not a recommended hotel I can convince them to just stay where we are!

Ok, I have good news and I didn't know who else to share it with besides my other LC'ers! My parents and I just decided to go PV in a couple of weeks for a quick site visit to Las Caletas! WAAAAHOOOO! I am so excited! It will be just my parents and I for a super quick weekend trip. My FI cannot go because he has to work and babysit our dogs I know that LC will be just perfect for our wedding but because I have never been to PV (or LC for that matter) I think if I go and just see it all, my mind will be more at ease. I just emailed Nicole and it will work out just perfect because the day that we are planning on going to LC there is not a wedding scheduled so Nicole told me that she will have the afternoon to show us around and go over all of the details for our day! So, now I need to decide where to stay. For the wedding we will be staying at the Vallarta Palace...however for our site visit trip for 2 nights the Palace is a bit on the expensive side ($700 total for the 3 of us! YIKES)....So I think we might stay at a cheaper hotel? Has anyone ever stayed at the Villa La Estancia in Nuevo Vallarta? I am thinking I may want to stay there because we might spend some honeymoon time there? OR maybe the Villa Premiere? any thoughts

Oh Susan, I should have known you would start a thread on this topic! TOO FUNNY, you crack me up! Um so I did watch this last night (I can't believe I just admitted that ) I do kind of feel bad for her...can you imagine having to run from all of the paparazzi all of the time?

happy turkey day everyone! be sure to go back for seconds and then get back on the wedding diets tomorrow! (At least that is my plan!)

Quote: Originally Posted by brittbrodin That's a great idea Andi! I also can totally relate to the whole, "Yes babe, if it makes you happy!!" I want him to be as excited as I get when I read ideas on here!! At least I have this forum where girls can relate!!! ha! I agree! I am glad I have everyone here to get super excited with me about all of the small details thanks everyone!

ok, so question for everyone on the maraca idea. In my head I am thinking of using the maracas in place of the traditional clinking of the glasses for the bride and groom to kiss. So they will shake the maraca instead, is this how everyone else is planning to use them as well? If so do you guys think it would be a good idea to have a cute little note tied onto each one to explain what they are really for? I dont know why but I really like this whole maraca idea...and after I saw that Maeghan had them engraved, I was more excited! I told my FI about this last night and he just looked at me with blank stare and said "oh babe, just do whatever makes you happy!". He shouldn't have told me that! If only he knew about all of my FUN ideas I have for this whole wedding thing!

WOW! I love them! makes me more excited!

Hello, I am from Denver too! we are getting married just a week before you in Puerto Vallarta! This forum is great! I have got some many good ideas from here! any questions just ask!

Quote: Originally Posted by lindseyb Hey Andi- I am also getting the maracas but I am getting them from a girl in PV that does custom paint/designs on them. The ones that LC can get for you are also nice. Question though are you doing 1 per person or 2? I am still undecided on that I was just wondering other peoples thoughts...... -Lindsey because they are kind of big, I was thinking of just putting one on each plate (just as Meaghan did) I figure I will want to keep a pair and the kiddos that are coming can keep a pair, but after the reception I am not sure that everyone will want maracas that say "reggie and Andi" forever.
