Hey girls! just wanted to chime in to let you know I had an AMAZING bridal shower yesterday!!! Our "fancy hat" theme turned out awesome! my aunt was in charge of the menu, my MOH was in charge of the decorations, and my friend in charge of the games. we had appetizers such as bruschetta, wontons with spinach dip in it, shrimp, and then all different kinds of salads with fruit and breads - homemade cheesecake and carrot cake for desert - wine, champagne - so good! the food was amazing! I'll post pics when I gather them from everyone!

spin class this morning. the plan is running tomorrow & friday and then spin again on saturday before my shower.

you girls are right! hey, wanted to share with my dreams brides, my bridal shower is this saturday! so excited to hang out with everyone and wear our derby hats and drink champagne! I'll make sure to share pics!

So, I'm totally changing my bouquet... I have two different ones I'm deciding between. Long story short, our colors are pretty plain - just ivory/grey/silver - so my MOH is having an ivory roses bouquet and the guys are wearing ivory bouts. For a splash of color, I was going to have a colored bouquet (like the one below) and then tie in that color with same flowers on the cake. I figure this red/burgundy color will look good with ivory/grey and black and we are getting married in december. I also like the white rose pic below with a little added to it... what do you girls think?

There's also a little knock-off place in Plaza Caracol that sells Karaoke machines that would probably be quite a bit cheaper - so you might head there and just poke around (if you have the time). Mishka, Can you tell me something about this Sam's Club? Do they have typical things like candles, fake flower things, glass vases, etc? (just in case, my mom and I might make a run over there when we arrive....) I want to use glass frames to put pics of my FI and I in on the guest book table, and I don't want to travel with anything glass and breakable. Thanks! ps....I'm still ordering my maracas from you in Nov!!! so excited!

I had the Ulitmate Wedding Pkg. w/ 7 nights so yeah, we had the free honeymoon pgkg. Ill tell you all right now...DON'T WORRY!!! I know it's hard not to, but trust me! Sarah, that does make me feel better. I have been trying to relax lately and just enjoy the last few months before the wedding. My work has kept me so busy, I have sort of let go of the planning process and it feels good. Thanks for confirming there is no need to worry!

Look for tall Victor, the drink guy, he will treat you sooooo good. i'M soooo asking for Victor! awesome!

That's good to know. I couldn't imagine picking my bouquet 2 days before, but if you say it's all good, then I'm sure it is! Thanks again!

Welcome! Have fun planning!

Congrats and welcome! great pics!

I ran a mile and did kick class for an hour. tired.

welcome! and congrats! for us, we chose our location based on ease of travel for our guests basically. We did know we wanted mexico somewhere, and the obvious choice for us (living in central CA) was Puerto Vallarta - the flights were just much less than anywhere else, even within the US.

how exciting! have fun!

how exciting! welcome to the forum! your wedding might seem far off, but trust me, the time goes by FAST!

If you end up in a jam and just don't feel like making them yourself, I used Sticker Doodles on Etsy for my "Gracias" tags. Instead of purchasing their tags (which were more expensive) I purchased a sheet of 20 stickers (it was $6 for every 20 and shipping was only $2) and then my FMIL put those stickers on cardstock and cut them out. It was worth it for me at least. I also got tags that said "Thanks for shaking up our party!" that have maracas on them and I'm going to tie them on the maracas we are giving for favors.

How cute! I love those!

Good luck Nadine! tonight, I had spin class - SOOOOO sore from kick class yesterday! i'm literally a vegetable tonight on the couch! my FI had to cook and do the dishes! hahaha!!!

I love that big pink and black one in the middle!! too bad my resort doesn't make cakes like that!

Girls! I tried attaching the document with the service descriptions they sent me, but it's in Power Point and I can't attach it! The Coffee Mud Wrap says the following: "Containing Coffee and natural ingredients this sliming body wrap prone your body to break down fat and increase metabolism. An Excellent treatment to boost your skin texture and help smooth any sponge, dimply appearance." I was thinking of doing the coffee mud wrap the first day I'm there (help with the bathing suite, right? ) but everyone has me scared about doing treatments right before the wedding, like I'll end up with spots on my skin, or a weird color, or something like that. I've never really had any sort of body treatments like that - I've only had one or two message in my life! but I do know my skin isn't sensitive.
