Oh...I have a good one!! Relaxed - a caribbean beach!!

Oh I love them!! I thought about this idea but it would have cost us a fortune at the post office!!! 75%-80% of our invites were mailed!!! LOL

I agree...I think just a simple thank you note would be sufficient. Maybe you could just mention "I hope you enjoy the accommodations we have chosen" and leave it at that...don't mention that you've paid for it...like you said, they already know that! If you're anything like me you'll want some kind of favor with your names & date on it so maybe you could do the letter as a scroll buy personalized ribbon to tie it? It is relatively inexpensive. If not, I think just the letter is sufficient. Maybe arrange to have it in their rooms when they arrive? If you really wanted to get into it you could make all the letters personal. "Dear Aunt so & so & Uncle blah blah, thank you for coming all the way from whereever you are from to celebrate this joyous day with us." Hope this helps some!

that friday feeling = tired

I personally like the fun ones best! But they are all great!!!

& Happy Planning!!!

I guess that's something I'll have to check! Well...good luck with your list this weekend! I'm hoping to get some packing done...2 weeks today until we move to Kitchener!!!

to the forum & congrats on your up coming wedding!!!

What about Queen of the Silver Dollar (it's a Dr. Hook song!)? Or since it's the 80s you could pick something 80s-ish...I think of hair bands & leg warmers!! Don't forget to post pics for us later!!

I have a pair of those ordered too!!! I wanted something with a little bit of a heel for the ceremony...FI is 6'4 & I'm 5'6!!!

Awh...sorry I couldnt be more help! I've never used shutterfly!!

Well...its a big thing not to be stressed about!! So YAY!!! Question?? Were you instructed to send the originals down prior to you going?? At the RIU Bachata in DR I think I just need to fax copies of all the documents 1 month prior, then take the originals with me. Hmmmm...

I found these... shutterfly coupons - shutterfly coupon code - shutterfly.com codes Shutterfly Coupon Codes - all coupons, discounts and promo codes for shutterfly.com ShutterFly Coupon Codes for ShutterFly.com, ShutterFly Coupons and Discounts - CouponCabin.com Note that some of them have expired...but you can always try them out to see if they still work!! Hope this helps!

This is so true!

I just found this link...HOLY McGiver!!! How to keep your travel money safe from thieves | eHow.com

DO NOT apologize to them!! They should be apologizing to you! Like everyone else said you should not have been waiting 25 days for a responses!! I agree with everyone that you should apply for the credit towards something else. Oh...and congrats on finding your perfect photographer & within budget!!!

That's a relief!! Above everything else your documents are the MOST important thing to have!! Without them you just can't get married!! So, is that one of your 12 off the list??

"The morning after" Brunch!! lol

You can also buy travel safes. They can be strapped to fixed objects in the room & locked with a key. Not fool proof of course - if someone really wanted what was inside they could find a way to get it - but at least it's another option & probably safer than the in room safe. Maybe you could hide the rings (or other smaller valuables) in a bag hung on a hanger under some clothing. Just a few options.... Here is the link for a travel safe...it's pretty neat! PacSafe Travel Safe 100 Portable Safe

That sounds perfect!! Well done!

Congrats on the pregnancy...I am sending good vibes your way!! I agree that you should postpone and without an explanation to your guests since they are not out anything (money, etc). But if you have really nosey families than you can tell your side it's due to something on FI's side & vise versa!! I'm sure everyone will be so elated when they find out the real reason!! Take care

Oh I missed it?? Any clue on repeats?? Does anyone have it to send?? I'd love to see it!!!
