Just copy & paste this (no www) into the address bar... sendables.jibjab.com/view/faQwRiOOusTcP5O0 Enjoy!! hahahahaha. hilarious!

did arm weights, lunges & walked 2.5 miles (fast)

Andrea, those are great! What a nice way to personalize the tags! Thanks so much for posting your template link!

Hi Kim, welcome to the forum! We chose Dreams Puerto Vallarta, which is an all-inclusive that is family-friendly for the same reasons - there will be kids coming. I've been to PV and love the city, the Malecon (boardwalk by the ocean) and the mountains. There's a lot to do besides just lounge at the resort & that was one of the deciding factors for us. When choosing a hotel I always check tripadvisor.com and Dreams had a ton of good reviews there as well as on this forum. We also chose May b/c it's less expensive than, say, January. I would check out the sub-forums on the different areas of Mexico and do a little research on a few areas of the country. Also think about what your/your guests priorities are. Do you want to see the Mayan ruins? Be near a town or more isolated? Hopefully that should help you figure out where you want to go. Also enlisting the help of a travel agent is always a good idea! Good luck!!

Those are absolutely gorgeous!! You two look so in love and you can sense how much fun you had at that shoot! Def some of my fav ttd pics ever!!

Beautiful dress! If it's your dream dress, def go for it!

#2! Love the back and the cross-over detail in front. Is there any way to order them both, take pics & return the one you don't love?

Yay Merve! Thanks so much for your review & for reinforcing all of our decisions to go w/ Dreams! We're also choosing the beach for our ceremony and want to find the most private area possible, of course not having been there I have no clue. We just want to avoid getting pictures w/ a random guy in a speedo in the background What made you guys choose the location by oceana? Sarah, thanks for alleviating some of our anxieties about the details. What is the honeymoon package? And, maybe you have it posted somewhere, what menu options did you have? We're thinking of a few different things but think we want to offer a choice between the steak/chicken & a mahi-mahi. Just curious what you guys had for app's & dinner & what you/guests thought of it. thanks guys!

Looks great! I love your bags and the little red pouches!

Congratulations Lisa!! How exciting! You guys will be busy for the next few months, but how great that you'll come back from the wedding to your first home together. Can't wait to see your progress on the house!

nice job! lots of great info for your guests!

That sounds fun! Love thrift stores & consignment shops! So, you can totally make these!

What a wonderful celebration! Seems you two have very loving families! And hope G'ma stays well!

Just finished 30-day shred. It's short but kicks your butt. I don't know why I haven't posted here before but I thought I should start so I keep myself accountable Jill, 7 days! Good for you!! I'm also bringing work-out stuff with me. It's a great stress reliever & clears my head.

Those are really cute! I saw them at zappos too & considered buying them, but I think I want a little heel. This is hard - I want to be fairly comfortable but also want fun shoes with some sort of heel. I need to design my own shoes.

Welcome to the forum, Susan/Josie's mom! It's so great you're on the site & helping with the planning! We're getting married in Puerto Vallarta and the hotel will pass out the welcome bags upon check-in or deliver them to the rooms, but they charge per bag to do that. I think maybe $3/bag? I would check with the wedding coordinator at the resort, or whoever your/Josie's contact at the hotel is.

Ugh! How frustrating!! I'm sorry this is happening to you guys! I like the Vista Print idea - maybe make up a post card with the correct rsvp #, the fact that it's adults only, & tips about the Oct weather/dress (& anything else she left off). And maybe DH can get his dad to pony up for the additional postage since his wife screwed this up in the first place. Or, you could send out an email to everyone although that would require you getting all of 300 email addresses, which might take a while. good luck with everything!!

That's great Anita! You must feel so proud! You can totally do this - it's only another month & half!

Sorry this happened to you Jill! How frustrating! Have you found anything else yet?

I have no problems putting my stuff in the same spot all the time and know exactly where everything is. SHEESH!!! Anyway, I guess I'm calmer now but it just pisses me off that my day is delayed (we car-pool) because I have to wait for him to do his "gathering" in the morning! It's nice that he gets to lay in bed for 25 mins after the alarm goes off and then made me wait for him because he's not ready...MEN!!!!!!!!!! Am I the only one with this problem or all are men like this?!? (seriously, I have a great man. I'm just super tired/stressed this morning) Um, Lisa, were you at my house this morning This is a daily annoyance for me. We don't car pool together, thank God, b/c if we did I would probably throttle him. But I still end up trying to help him find his crap while he's running around like a damn chicken w/o a head. Every day I tell him "YOU NEED A SYSTEM!!". ugh, MEN is right!!

Jess, thanks for the great nail salon recommendation! That will be perfect! Jill, this coffee seduction wrap sounds intriguing! Is it anti-cellulite or something? Lauren, thanks for the heads-up about the lame massage. You girls will have to report back if you end up having one! Autumn, I haven't heard/read anything about the dreams eternity honeymoon thing. I don't even know what it is. Anyone else?

Happy Birthday Erika! Hope you've had a fabulous day and have been treated like a princess!! You deserve it! And 30 is totally the new 21!
