Let me know if you need any details about the area for planning, especially Victoria. I know only a little about Whistler, but one of my friends used to work up there, so I can probably get you some information. February is high season up there, so I recommend booking that stuff in advance, if possible. Also, if you tell your hotels that you are on your honeymoon, they will often provide you with cool amenities (treats) for your room when you arrive. We're staying in Mexico for our honeymoon. Our plan is for the wedding/honeymoon to be a 2 week vacation Cheers, Jennifer Thanks! I will keep that in mind for sure!!!

I realize that this is late and you prob. already made up your mind... but I just wanted to say that since there is such a big quality difference no one will think it is a reflection of you, your wedding, or style. Shower invites never go with wedding stationary unless you have a really good MOH that takes charge. I'd just laugh it off! I am not as creative as my artsy sis and mom... we made X-mas cards one year and I ended up creating a grey-bearded Santa... that card made us laugh so hystarically, and the card is still making rounds to eachother at Christmas time every other year or so!

You are going to do AWESOME!!! and you are brave-r (is that a word?!.) Than you think. I am thinking and praying for you! Update us when you can, ok?

My main issue is my Mom, she wants me to buy my sis essentially the same dress I bought (heck no) and then alter it to look different .... I would rather just go shopping to find something we all like. Sounds like a good plan! Did you know we are coming to Victoria/Whistler for our honeymoon in February? We are totally excited but haven't started to plan the details yet!

I already feel like I'm spending a fortune on shipping (we can fortunately ship stuff to our caterer). We are getting there are day before everyone else, but have a lot to do in that one day. The main thing I was thinking of purchasing there is beach towels - shipping 25 of them will be pricey!! I think it is a good idea, but maybe it would be easier and less stressful if you are flexible with what you find... Maybe go with a list of options. Just wouldn't want you to be disappointed if you had your heart set on something. But you might end up with some unique treasures!

teasers. teasers. teasers! Can't wait to see them! I am sure you look beautiful!

You could ask people to save a week.... since with DW's people don't come down for one day. It is a tough one, but you could also just send out your date and change it if you need too... things change all the time, we had to change our original date and move up the date a whole month. People didn't mind, it wasn't about asking off for specific dates from work as much as it was saving the time off for the wedding in general. Hope it helps!

Awesome Andrea! Looks like fun and we did have perfect weather. Hope you are feeling better today too!

happy planning!

awwwww! CUTE!!!

It is tough, I know. M family hasn't brought it up either- then I got some $$ in the mail to help. Im kind of thinking with it being a DW people are caught off guard and not sure how much to give or how much it costs. Maybe they'll give once they start seeing the bills? Maybe not. Better to be pleasantly suprised!

Come to Minnesota! People from the east LOVE it here!

what an adventure!

Welcome and happy planning!

Wow! that is awesome that the cake is a priority- go for it! now I want to come to your wedding for some cake!

welcome and happy planning

hockey hockey hockey!

You are adorable! Congratulations~
