I shop at Aldi's every once in a while. I haven't every had anything bad from there. If you're looking for deals on cereal, milk, bread, and stuff like that. My daughter, who is 8, on the other hand...hates going in there with me...she says it smells like cheese. So, if I were you I would go in and take a look!

Wow.....you guys are princesses. Our budget is really low compaired. Here's what I got so far: Invites/STD: $200.00 Dress: $300.00 (no alterations yet) Groom Attire: $60.00 Travel: $2000.00 (including honeymoon) Photographer: Free (Friend of the family - but a professional) Destination Reception: $300.00 OOT Bags: $350 for 20 At Home Reception: $500.00 (BBQ style) DJ for AHR: $300.00 (Got a deal, we are friends with a local radio station DJ) Total: $4010.00 Man I feel so cheap now!

First things first...and I'm sure you've been told this many times.....it's your wedding, do what you want. Second...I went to the photagraphers site and the pictures are amazing. Third...If I were you I would tell my mom how I was feeling, the raining on your parade, and tell her that you would like to include her in the planning of your big day, but if she continues to act like a two year old you will have to exclude her and that's not what you want to do. Put your BIG GIRL PANTIES ON AND TELL HER LIKE IT IS! I love that saying....my mom always tells me that. Keep us updated!

The one with the blue hearts was my favorite....I showed it to my little sister, who is 16, and she isn't a girlie girl...and she said she would wear it. She liked the fact that black was the background color and the hearts were blue. She said she probably wouldhn't like it if it had been blue with black hearts. So Good Luck and be sure to post what your niece picks out!

What about these....I looked at Hot Topic

I'm not to fond of Holly either...but what Heidi did was just mean. I would NEVER kick my sister out with nowhere to go...even if my man wanted me to.

Oh My Goodness...I just watched the last episode...I can't believe that Heidi was given her job back. Sam is NUTS! Spencer is the cause of all her problems...why can't she see that. I feel so bad for Holly....thank God she has Lauren. As far as the rumor....Lauren has said from the get go that JB is a dirty boy.....so I think it is bogus and Audrinna is crazy for thinking it is true.

Silly question but how did you close it? Glue? I am challenged. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! Many people have done this on here. It looks like this: Have you concidered glue dots. You can find them at any craft store (Michael's, Hobby Lobby, Joanne's, or Hancock Fabric). Just a suggestion! Good Luck!

ahhhhhhhh.....no pictures

Technically I'm not a Georiga Peach either...but oh well...close enough. I've been here for the better part of 15 years. Have any of you thought about doing Boudoir Pictures? Are you doing an AHR? If you are....where you having it?

That's not bad at all. Humm...I was condidering doing MIB invites...but I love the concept of the boarding pass invite....I'm torn. I am really concidering doing my invites after the first of the year so people have the time to save up.

We are getting married on Tybee Island, in Savannah. We didn't want anything to expensive as we are very much family people and want most of our immediate family to be able to afford the trip. We are still very excited about everything!

Hey....I was just wondering if there was anybody else out there from Georgia. Maybe we could help each other out....Hope I'm not the only one

How do you guys feel about Jason Mraz's song: I'm Yours? I really like this song...but is it first dance material? Here's the lyrics...just incase you're not familure with it. Well you done done me and you bet I felt it I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted I fell right through the cracks now I'm trying to get back Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest Nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention I reckon its again my turn to win some or learn some but I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait, I'm yours Well open up your mind and see like me Open up your plans and damn you're free I Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love Listen to the music of the moment people dance and sing we´re just one big family and it's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love love So I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait I'm sure There's no need to complicate Our time is short This is our fate, I'm yours I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer But my breath fogged up the glass And so I drew a new face and I laughed I guess what I'm saying is there ain't no better reason To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons It's what we aim to do Our name is our virtue But I won't hesitate no more, no more It cannot wait I'm yours well open up your mind and see like me Open up your plans and damn you're free I Look into your heart and you'll find the sky is yours So please don't, Please don't, please don't there's no need to complicate cause our time is short this is our fate I'm yours

I just wanted to give everybody the heads up...the only colors they have the seagrass bags is orange and the multi-colored one. I contacted the buyer....I'm very impatient and didn't want to wait for her to let me know....lol...so I just thought I would fill everybody in!

Your invitations came out really good. I'm going the DIY route also, just maybe not as much as you. How much did everything cost you to do the boarding pass invite and how many did you make?

I will deff check that site out! I hope I can find something!

Have you thought about Destin, FL. It isn't very croweded and it's beautiful

WOW....your pictures turned out so good....Congrats!

I am interested in the buckets...email me at samantha.vinyard at primerica dot com

That is a really good idea...I think I might just have to look into this for my reception! Thanks for the idea!

Did you do a DIY invite or did you just go out and buy some? I am deff doing a message in a bottle, I already bought all the stuff. I can't wait to do them...it's gonna be so fun. And to hear the reactions of my guests when they get a random bottle in their mailbox. So excited....I want to mail them tomorrow! HaHa!

Have any of you lucky ladies picked your First Dance song? Me being a HUGE fan of the 80's wants to go with something from that time period, man...when I say it like that it sounds so long ago...anyway...and my FI is a HUGE fan of R&B. Do you guys have any suggestions?
