I got my dress at ROTB too! I went to the one in Cleveland. I'm glad you came out successful. The dress looks great!

We kind of started guessing and adding .5" here and there. My tip...measure accurately the first time, LOL. Or have professional measurements done and save yourself the trouble. We bought the pure Irish linen and overall my FI loves how light-weight it is and how the jacket fits. Sorry no pics just yet, he said I can take them once we alter the pants! I think it will look great once we fix our little mistakes I second the measuring comment! Since we have 11 (yes ELEVEN) groomsmen ordering suits, I had to stress over and over to make sure they got the correct measurements or had it done professionally. So far, we only had one groomsman goof up. He wears a 38/39 sleeve regularly so that's what the thought his sleeve length was; he didn't actually measure! So his sleeves came like 10 inches too long for his arm. The photo he sent was hilarious! Everything else fit good though so he's just going to get that part tailored.

I don't think Eggs & Tara will rescue Sam because if you look close they are all buck naked and getting it on with their eyes all blacked out like everyone else when he comes in. I don't know he's going to get out of that pickle!

They don't have an option for forearm measurements. I think they make an educated guess based off the other measurements. If you know your guys has really big biceps or something you may want to add that in the comment box. I added that my guy has an athletic build and not portly because that's the problem he encounters trying to buy off the rack. They assume his wide shoulders mean he also has a wide waist, which he doesn't. We finally ordered the suit for the wedding and went with Natural Linen and he ordered another in Black linen just to have. They both came in and they look great! We changed the fit on the pants to "Semi Baggy" and they now have an option where you can put in a fixed measuremnt for the knee and thigh so we did that using his favorite pair or pants and they totally fit the same. I love Studio Suits now!

Viva Las Vegas! Welcome!

OMG! This is terrible! I mean, look at the SODIUM in some of these dishes! That'll definitely kill ya if all the fat and calories manage to find their way out. I think I'm going to be sick...

My photographer did these today since I purchased my FI's band. I think it came out great! He's moved to DC now so any of you DC area brides that want to use him for your wedding or boudior, PM me!

At least you found out early and not last minute so now you can just plan accordingly. Just to reiterate what GinalynL said, can you or have you blocked rooms at the Hotel? Even if they only block for a few weeks at least it will give your guests a chance to reserve. Quote: Originally Posted by sspiris Email the fighter and ask him to change the date! lol. I live in Vegas so if it makes you feel better, it is usually crowded on the weekends. It really doesn't matter what is going on that night. If you need any local info just let me know. i would be glad to help. Good luck with the rest of your planning, dont go brusie the other rib on that guy Steph We didn't block rooms because the Harrah's chain of hotels makes you put down a deposit up front and we definately did not want to do that. We have a discount code that guests can use but I've found better rates just looking for other promo codes online. I'm a local too, that's why I'm worried. I was here for the Mayweather/De La Hoya fight and the regular weekend traffic was at least double. The Flamingo and Mandalay Bay aren't that close to one another. It may seem like it on a map, but in weekend traffic, it can take half an hour. Grrrr... nothing I can do about it but hope people get their things booked.

Quote: Originally Posted by BillysBride Awww, girl! I don't blame you, I'd be salty as heck too. How many of your guests have already made their arrangements? We have 5 that have booked and a total of 11 that have RSVPed ""yes" so far but FI has 10 groomsmen so I'm sure they are all coming too. I sent an email to everyone encoraging them to at least reserve their rooms so I hope they do!

So I planned my wedding for a weekend in Vegas when there weren't any big conventions, no holidays, etc. so that people would have an easy time booking and it wouldn't be crazy expensive... well fast forward to today. Floyd Mayweather had a fight scheduled for July 18th but he bruised his ribs or something so now he moved the fight to SEPTEMBER 19th!! My wedding day!! I am sooo mad right now! Vegas is going to be a madhouse! Traffic is going to be crazy so getting from my ceremony location at the Flamingo to the reception at Mandalay Bay is going to take extra long! And then there's the hotel situation. I'm sure things are going to be sold out soon and prices are going to go up. I'm just so upset because there's nothing I can do about this! I've been so laid back during this process but this just takes the cake! I can't stand it.

I paid for my BMs dresses. I found them at Marshalls' for $40 and I only have 4 plus a jr. BM so it wasn't too bad. Some will need alterations thought that they will be paying for. I am also getting them a gift.

There are a lot of knee & teeth problems! Seems like those the most common things people have surgery on.

I was born with an "extra bone" on my knee. It's really hard to describe but I had a huge bump on the side of my leg that had muscle over it so when I would bend my knee repeatedly (ie. ride a bike, go up & down stairs) the muscle would rub against it and it would hurt. So when I was 7, they sawed it off. Literally. Now I have arthritis in that knee so I can predict the rain. That's the only surgery so far. Fortunately (ha!) I have a huge mouth so the dentist said I have "plenty of room" to keep my wisdom teeth. I do want Lasik though!

Cute! I was thinking red heels too. Or maybe even polka dot! Super retro style.

I was hoping that instead of getting a divorce, they were just going to announce that they were going to stop filming the show to work on their problems. I really wanted them to make it for some reason.

Thanks for the compliments & suggestions ladies. I couldn't get a good photo of them all around but the flowers are a little more spread out. Our colors are orange and blue and since the BMs are wearing orange dresses, I was trying to think of a way to throw the blue in there. This was my inspiration photo!

I decided to go with silks for the BMs since my hotel charges a $150 "outside vendor" fee if I got flowers from somewhere else and for a single rose from them its $20! I ordered these from a seller on eBay for only $3.50 each! They were originally like this: But I spiced them up a little by adding some blue to it and some rhinestones. I got the little blue flowers from Michael's. They were $1.99 each bunch and I got 3. I made 5 bouquets with them. Let me know what you think!

Thanks ladies! I'm happy with how they turned out. Now I just have to actually get them in the mail!

They aren't in the mail yet but at least all the supplies have arrived. I did all the designs myself and I based it off the boarding pass STD I did. (http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t40728) I started with a 5x7 postcard with rounded corners. I ordered that from the place that prints up business cards and party fliers for me. (I design those on the side.) Cost incl. shipping = $56 I ordered regular sized postcards from Vistaprint for the reply cards. Cost incl. shipping = $17.47 I purchased the gatefold cards in Dark Blue (because that color was on sale! I would've preferred I brighter blue. $7.50 x 3 packs) and the size A7 envelopes in Orange Fizz from Discount Blank Invitations, Black Card Stock & More from CutCardStock.com. ($9.55 x 2) Total cost incl. shipping = $50.30 The orange cardstock is from Michael's. I bought 12x12 sheets and then cut them in one inch strips to make the band. They were .29 per page and I bought 10 sheets. Cost= $2.90 I printed our logo onto white cardstock that I already had laying around. Cost =$0 Total cost = $126.67 for 100 invitations! And without further adieu, pics! With the flash: Without the flash: Close-ups:

Ok I'm back from my first alterations appointment! I forgot the camera was still on a low res setting so I didn't get the best shots but at least it's something! She has a lot of work to go since I got it at Filene's Running of the Brides so it is a bridal 12 when I really need like a 6. It's by Emerald Bridal. Front View: Back: It is half bustled so on the left you can see the look we are going for with the bustle and on the right you can see the train. It's actually a pretty long train so we had a lot to try to hide. I think where she's headed with the bustle looks good so far.
