Do you have any pics of those things somewhere on the forum? COuld you post the links?

QUOTE=Hoosierfan;745076]Hey guys! I'm concerned about lugging all this stuff down there too - I know there are bunch of threads on the value of bringing everything vs. trying to ship anything. Have you guys looked into it? I wanted to do OOT bags too, but I'm thinking more about doing beach towels for everyone (again, will have to lug stuff down, but I can get some of my family and bridesmaids to pack some in their luggage too (I think). I got beach bags, robes, flip flops and some other stuff for my 'maids and I am definitely shipping them their stuff before the wedding! I'm still trying to figure out how I get stuff back home after the wedding since my FI and I are going on our honeymoon from Mexico! Hey girl- I know on some other forums/threads have said that because of customs it can cost almost $400!!! So most of the girls I know don't ship, they just pay the extra in luggage fees.

Just stuff all those things like the advil in the cup... super cute! I just can't imagine lugging all that stuff down there... bags and all. Where are you getting your pashminas?

You look amazing!!! How exciting! I can't wait for your review, this makes me so excited for DT! Where did you get your earrings? They are awesome!

MarieSam- Did you end up personalizing your candles in any way? Like with a monogram or anything? Thanks!

Thanks for the list... I am definitely going to add some of that to our web site!

Hey Jamk- sorry if my thread wasn't clear... I got my magnets from Vistaprint but I made my own address labels. I'm not sure what you ordered, but I'm sure they'll be great! I love my magnets and I just ordered postcards!

What a super cute idea! I LOVE the candy bar!

Is paying for Kodak the only high resolution option? Is the deal with Shutterfly and all those if you download someone elses posted pics they aren't high res? Can someone who knows anything about photos help me please I am super confused after ready this thread... and I definitely want my guests to be able to print pics... not just order them from said web site we decide to post them on!

Most of these links and pics dont work anymore... Any recent BDW brides use parasols? If so, please post the link to your pics! Thanks!

I don't think they're too casual at all - I love the multicolored one! But some of the girls are right, it may be a little too early for your BM's to get dresses... just my opinion

You girls look absolutely AMAZING! I am so using some of your ideas - thanks for posting!!

I just ordered these, I thought about sending cards... but this was so original and cute! The BM/MOH cookies are on sale right now for $5.00 each, and you can personalize them with a name for $0.50. I will try to get the girls to take pics of them, so we can see what they actually look like... I just wanted to post b/c they are on sale now! Happy planning! They are from: www.weddingish.com

Maggie - How exciting! I bet your guests love them, they are so personalized! Thanks for including the Etsy seller!

April- Good for you girl! Those look amazing, thanks for posting so the rest of us can steal ideas

I just voted Good luck girls!!!

Trayce-- do you have any pics of you in the dress? Or just the actual dress? Thanks girl, what an awesome deal!

Jacilynda- Where did you find your second dress I love it!

Hey girls! How is everyone doing with their Lent promises I am proud to say I have not drank coffeee once... although I have almost mistakenly done it several times! It seems like you guys gave up way harder/more important stuff than I did... I hope you're all doing well!!! It's almost over

I never would have come up with it without your awesome instructions! I ordered 100 round sticker address labels last year for Christmas cards... and they were over $50!!!!! These look even better... now I feel silly
