I got mine at Oriental Trading... $12.99 per dozen. I really like them! Here's a pic:

I agree! It is your wedding day and it's important that you are wearing the dress that makes you feel beautiful and you are the only person that knows which dress that is! Go for it! My dress just came in. I was stressing that it would be late and I wouldn't have the alterations done in time but the lady at the bridal shop assured me that they can actually have the alterations done in a few days. It is possible! Don't be so hard on yourself!

Great site but they don't ship to Canada

I'm not sure. I would email Rocio and ask her. Tell her your concerns and why you don't want it there. Hopefully she can work something out for you! Good luck! Let us know what you find out!

That is the location I am going with. We're going all the way to Mexico for our wedding so I want it on the beach!

I think different colour bags in different sizes would look good!! Go for it!

Hi! Here is a great site for the Palladium!! Palladium Addict Site Directory Click on "Wedding Information" on the left hand side.

I am also surprised you are staying so calm (you sound calm anyways)!! I would be in full blown PANIC mode!! Here is a suggestion.... Try the Palladium Addicts site. Welcome to the Palladium Addict Forum • Index page Maybe you could pm one of the moderators from that site and they might be able to help. I know they have been able to help people in the past with getting in touch with the resort. At the very least, post your concerns on there. Hopefully someone can help you get in touch with them! I hope you get some answers soon!!

I swear by Mary Kay skincare! I use their microdermabrasion every other day and it helps keep my skin soft and refreshed feeling. And yes, water, water, water

I am so sorry you are going through this right now! You have every right to feel mad and hurt!! Would replying to his email or calling him to get your feelings out make you feel better?? If you think it would help then I would do it! Do whatever you think is going to make you feel better! And vent here whenever you need to - there is a lot of support in the gals here!!

Have a fabulous time!!! Congrats!!

Have fun at your fitting..You have the whole bridal shop watching you which was a bit weird at first. Its great to prance around in front of the big mirror though. I did mine today. Yup, January is sneaking up fast!!

Quote: Originally Posted by BachataBride OMG...that dress is incredible!! I so love it!!! you're doing a fitting this weekend?? My boutique told me not to come in until the mid of December. I went to try on my dress as soon as it came in of course! But they said come back in Dec. Hmmm, I don't know. They made the appointment for me for Monday and they know when my wedding is... I plan on having atleast one more fitting after this one before the wedding though. I am SO excited to try it on again!!!

I am SO excited!! The bridal shop called me this morning and my dress is in!! I am going for my first fitting this weekend! Here's a pic of it (on the model) It's kinda hard to see the detail but hopefully I'll have some better pics of me in it this weekend!

I agree!! Just send them some links for websites such as the Palladium Addict so they can see pictures! We are getting so excited to go there!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Thanks! I will talk to FI about it tonight! Cute dog in the picture too

Can you tell me how big the "I Do" and the "Mr & Mrs" signs are? Thanks!

Thanks for your replies! I know I'm not the only one in this crappy situation but sometimes just venting helps a lot! I'm not upset that people can't come. We knew all along that having a DW would mean that a lot of people wouldn't be able to make it. I'm totally ok with that. What I'm not ok with is not knowing either way and feeling like my family is ignoring and/or avoiding me. Quote: Ok, so, I think you might have given too much time between sending out your invites and your RSVP date. I know when you do that, people put it on the side to "get to it later" and then they forget or it gets lost or something. I'd try not to take it too personal. Maybe send out a reminder to the people who haven't responded, an email would work...or enlist mom (or someone) to make some follow up phone calls. I doubt so many people didn't respond intentionally. I was actually thinking that I hadn't given people enough time to rsvp but maybe you're right. I should send out a reminder. Thanks again for your support girls! I'm feeling much better today!

Let me first apologize if I start rambling... I am just really upset and need to vent!! We sent out about 35 invitations back in July. Everyone we sent the invites to already knew about the wedding, this was just the "official" invite. We asked people to respond by October 15. I wanted to know how many people were planning on coming so I could figure out what to do for the reception dinner, plan my OOT bags, etc. Anyways, October 15 came and went and we have still now only got 9 replies back! 2 of those are my parents and a couple are from FI's family in England and Australia!! But my family in Canada just can't seem to be bothered! My aunt, my cousin and her boyfriend went ahead and bought some timeshare package type of thing (it's a one time use thing) in Playa Del Carmen. They did this without even talking to us about it and actually still haven't mentioned it to me. My mom found out about it almost by accident while they were talking. I understand they were trying to save money but after only a little research, my mom and I have figured out that it's actually going to be more expensive for them once they pay for food, drinks, etc (the package they got is not all inclusive). Not to mention the day passes for our resort for the wedding.... AND they haven't even booked the dates they want to use this package yet so who knows if our wedding week will even be available!? If it isn't available then, I'm sure they won't be able to afford to come. What really bothers me is that they didn't even talk to us first!! This same cousin just had a baby and we sent her a gift a couple months ago and she hasn't even mentioned it! Not even a quick "thank you" email! All of this and my grandpa has the nerve to tell my mom he thinks we are being selfish having the wedding in Mexico and asking people to spend that kind of money to be there! He wouldn't be able to come even if we had it here because him and my grandma can't travel and we live in different provinces! Back to the rsvps... I understand that maybe some people are still unsure if they will be able to make it but would it really be so hard to send a quick email or make a quick phone call to tell us this!!! I feel completely ignored by my family!! I know that weddings bring out the best and the worst in people but right now, I am seeing only the worst!! I have always put a great deal of effort into staying close to my family. I spent many spring breaks and holidays driving out to see them when I didn't have to. None of them ever came here. I am sick of it being all one sided! I am at the point where I just don't want anything to do with them! But I hate feeling this way!! I want to say something to them to let them know how "ignored" I feel but I don't even know where to begin.... Before all of this, I was loving the wedding planning! Not so much anymore. I just need to get this out so hopefully I can get over it and enjoy this time again! I love my FI, he has been so supportive during all of this drama. I want to be excited about planning our day again!! Reading back on this I hope I don't sound selfish or whiny. Trust me, I am not the type of person that needs things to be all about me, quite the opposite actually!! I know there isn't much to say and everyone else has problems with families and friends with a DW. I just needed to get it out.

You look beautiful!! I LOVE your dress and your hair!!

Quote: Which section should we stay in? I see the Royal Suites are Adult only, but also on the end. Are the unlimited ala cartes only for the suites people or for everyone. The unlimited a la cartes are for everyone. If you stay in the Royal Suites, you have the option to make reservations if you want to but you don't have to.

The Grand Palladium Resort & Spa just did away with the reservation system for a la cartes. You can eat at them every night if you want and it's on a first come first serve basis. Check out this site for some great info (and forum) on the resort. Good luck! Palladium Addict Site Directory
