Wahoo!! Just thought I'd let you ladies know that I got an email from Ael, the wedding co-ordinator at the RPRM. I am super excited!!!

You are doing AWESOME Lisaloo!!! Congratulations, keep it up!!!

This is an awesome idea!!! Unfortunately we are not having an AHR but if I was it would definately have to be a Taco Bar!!! It sounds so good I would love to have a taco right now!!!

Everything looks awespme Lisa!!! Where did you get your comfy shoes and sand ceremony set?

Thanks Ladies!!!

We have about 60 guests, I am thinking a bag in the $20 range per person is good. But once you buy the mugs and the tote bags it doesn't leave you much else. I have been checking dollar stores and walmart here constantly because I see all the other brides that can find deal but apparently I am looking in the wrong place because I haven't been able to find anything!! Thanks mrsMarch for your ideas! I will keep you updated as to what I get. thanks for your help ladies.

Have any of you started you OOT bags? I am just starting...I know I am way behind but if any of you have any awesome ideas I would love to hear from you!! Or any online retailers you think are good. I have checked all the threads on OOT bags and I have some ideas but I am kinda overwhelmed by all of them. I also don't know the exact number of guests so I find it hard to get started....I am a little stressed!!!

Awesome guestbook, I think I am going to get this!

I really want to rder these, do you ladies know if you can put an iron on onto this type of bag? I just want to put our logo in the bottom corner...

I am too late too, could you post the link for the straps you got too please? I only see them in lots of 500, even 100 is too many but better then 500.

Congrats Ladies, you definately deserve it!
