Yikes! I'm not sure that sounds like a good idea. Is the presentation before they go on the trip or after they get to the resort? Those timeshare presentations always last over the time allotted and the people are so pushy and not fun. Do you really want your guests to feel that pressured and put off during your wedding? And do they really get 50% off the AI... or is it some coupon type junk that just adds up to 50% off?

Congrats on your engagment! This forum will be a great help to picking a location. We started by making a list of must haves and would likes, then went from there. Check out the Dreams resorts for lots of locations and wonderful wedding packages Happy planning!

What a great story Nathalie! A February beach wedding will be a great escape from the cold! Welcome to BDW and happy planning

Thanks for sharing Tracy. Everything looks awesome! I heart your shoes and think the GM shirts look great... no one will notice the color because they will be looking at you Hope you have a wonderful wedding!

Welcome to the forum Heather! Las Caletas is beautiful and Puerto Vallarta is a wonderful city

Great thread Karla!! We always try to plan out 4 days of meals on Sunday. Otherwise we end up eating out too. I love the crock pot and try to do 1 slow cooker meal a week. It usually feeds us for 2 nights. Yesterday was roast with potatoes and carrots, so left overs tonight! And tomorrow will probably be Zatarain's Jumbalaya Mix with kielbasa. I also cook a lot out of a Weight Watchers 20 min cookbook: Weight Watchers in 20 Minutes: 250 Fresh, Fast Recipes - Weight Watchers International Staff - Paperback (ISBN 9780470287453) - Buy Books, Music and Movies at Borders

Diana ~ I would just ask the couple what it is for! LMAO Kerry! I'm so with you Heather... if it is for money that is just tacky. I got an invitation that included a card with a long poem that rambled on and on and it turned out they were just asking for money. I even thought that was in poor taste.

Congrats Maria! You will find tons of advice and info on BDW. Welcome to the forum

Everything looks awesome! That dress is so made for you. You are going to have a wonderful wedding and everyone is going to really appreciate all of the details you pulled together. I love the Christmas ornaments and what they will mean to people every year they use them. Congrats!

We registered because I had a bridal shower and an AHR. Although I put on our wed-site that their presence was gift enough. And my mom told everyone that wanted to give gifts to give us gift cards since we were traveling for every event. I think it's nice for people to have an idea of what to get you if they want to, but definitely not necessary. Do what feels right to you and FI

That is a gorgeous dress!! And would look fab with a sweetheart neckline. Good luck finding one that works for you!

Clever saying! I haven't seen these used as wedding favors, but super cute idea. Totally brings me back to my childhood and wearing like 10 of them just trying to be cool. Your guests will love them.

Don't get frustrated, you can do this! Ditto to setting your own paper size. If you have a PC, I recommend just sticking to using software that you are comfortable with like word or powerpoint. Also, cut some plain white paper to the size of your cards and run test prints on them so you don't waste your good cards. Feel free to post your docs on here to get some advice and input if you want to )

Ugh! And people wonder why brides get all stressed out! They don't see all the craziness that other people put you through! I would absolutely go over there today and at least try them on to make sure that she has started the alterations. If you don't like they way they look or how she treats you, take the dresses with you and find someone else. It may sound crazy and cost a bit more, but your peace of mind is worth a million dollars. Maybe shoot a message out to the other BDW brides in the Houston area for some alteration recommendations. Good luck sweetie and keep in mind that everything happens for a reason! *hugs*

Yikes! That is such a bummer. I'm sending you some virtual "magic server pixie dust" to fix your laptop!

I left the whistles on because my friends love to be annoying. But, I'm not sure I even heard anyone using the whistles while we were at the resort. Quote: Originally Posted by clgriffi7 I just bought the ID badge holders from ebay and the wrist coils from oriental trading company.

I love the picture that you put on them! Great job and thanks for sharing )
