I already told my fiance you were coming, LOL!

Linds - HAHA thank you, I'm really organzied, sometimes it's a little annoying I love those centerpieces too but I'm only using the cake idea because the thought of have to bring those with me is too much to fathom. These are actually my centerpieces but fuchsia instead of yellow: amybermuda - Thanks! HAHA, you know I actually just told them that's what I wanted not really asking for options and I didn't get any resistance. I really love to negotiate and haggle so I have just been kind of stating what I want and when I get shut down I'll try and find the loophole. Like when Loma's quoted me $400 per table for the above centerpiece, I'm now bringing my own real touch stems and renting vases that took it down to $40 total per table, much better. I'm a big advocate of, it doesn't hurt to ask! Also, I've become close with my wedding coordinator, it helps that she's a rad chick but she's very helpful with different options now too since we email each other every couple of days. She even sent me new arial shots of Azul Sensatori, if you girls want me to email them to you let me know.

Of course! We all gotta stick together on these thing

Oh and I think I asked for white cake, sliced strawberries in the center with hazelnut frosting...

Congrats again!!! It feels so nice to have decided on a place doesn't it?

Hey Lindsay! Congrats on choosing a resort, of course you can stay here

Hahaha, sorry I meant Chrissy!!! (I've been sick and delirious all week) Chrissy that's so excited!!! I'm so jealous of you girls! I don't have that many people coming to my wedding... 95% of my family will NOT be coming, not even my parents. It is what it is I guess...

Any advice would be great!

meldal - ooo this site actually looks legit! I love a couple of their dresses and felt confident they were real, thanks for sharing!

I had a hard time justifying an additional cake aside from the one that comes in the package but I'm not a fan of the small heart cake. I wanted a 3 tier but settled with a 2 tier and I'm bringing real touch orchids with me as they tried charging me $20 per real flower. I already had my lingerie bridal shower here at a friends house and plan to have the Bachelor/Bachelorette parties in Mexico Thursday night before my Saturday wedding.

Welcome and congrats Crista!! We're happy to have you Nicole will put you on our big dates list when she comes around. Let us know any questions you have!

Andrea that's so excited!!! I'm so jealous of you girls! I don't have that many people coming to my wedding... 95% of my family will NOT be coming, not even my parents. It is what it is I guess... Where are you buying your chair sashs from? I don't think we can move them from ceremony to reception so I may only buy them for one or the other. Meghan, I have an option song to dance to but it's not definite yet. I'm walking down the aisle to "Something" by The Beatles but the Jim Sturgess version from Across the Universe.

Meghan wow!! You already have 42 people booked I'm so jealous... you seem way ahead of me too. We are too sending out invites January as well, not sure when I will request a drop dead date for RSVPing. Dance lessons too, how fun!!! FI would never do that with me, I've never asked but I really doubt it. Do you know what song you're dancing to yet?

I went to the Royal Cancun last March and staying there was what made me decide to get married in Mexico!! That place is AMAZING, pure luxury I planned on getting married there but knew my guests wouldn't be able to afford it and my group is also too large or else I'd be there! Good luck with your planning!

This is random but I recently remembered paying for a Tote Bag sewing class last year I had a certificate for because it was cancelled due to an emergency. I went on Friday and got the pattern and material and all that so I'm finishing it up this Saturday and it's much easier than I thought and really good quality. It's not cheaper though so I may just do this for the bridal party. Maybe I'll take pictures when I'm finished!

Katie and Ash, the above post is meant for you too!! Not just us AS girls

Ladies it seems like this forum needs a boost... I just wanted to see what everyone is currently working on at the moment, I feel like I'm always missing something since there is so much to do! Here is what I just completed/purchased or am working on: I just sent out a bunch of postcard reminders which I made on Vista Print - RSVP postcard in an envelope requesting an RSVP by date - Booking reminder postcard - Thanks for booking, don't forget your passport postcard I decided on my reception menu and cocktail reception Also I ordered business cards and clear sealable plastic badge holders & clear wrist coils for a room keycard/tip holder I am currently sewing a few tote bags which I may do that for the bridal party I am putting my deposit down on my Real Touch flowers which I'm SO happy about, it took me forever to decide what I want I'm starting a workout program for my BD shoot I'm sitting down tonight to workout the wording for my official invites, I'm having them made I just put a deposit on my custom cake toppers yesterday Researching hotels to honeymoon at close to Sensatori or a short flight away Alright there's more than that but I can't think anymore! What are you ladies up to currently?

OMG Bree I seriously got chills, you're day is this Friday I can't believe it!! I hope you have the most amazing time, I can't wait to see your pictures, especially those gorgeous pashminas you got

Wow Shelly!! How exciting!! I used business cards printed from Vista Print but I'm sure cardstock would work just fine
