Hi Jaime! welcome to the forum! You will find tons of helpful info on BDWF! Happy planning!

HI Lori! Welcome to the forum! Happy planning and congrats!

aghhh it just started here in Utah please let Vienna go home..please dear god let her go home!!

love the pics aut!! you look gorg!!!!

OK so we just got back. OUR friends and families really loved the OOT bags! Things that were used: The bag itself (canvas with our theme).. perfect ...not one person brought a bag! And they came out really cute. (50% off on vista print too!) The cups (steins)... they were HUGE hits. People not in our party wanted mugs, we gave out a few extras! (factory 21-ebay) Nips- mini bottles of captain morgan's and malibu rum were put in each cup. Beach Kits- gel san,mini chocolates,gum, scentsy tins, SPF, tylenol, immodium, tums, band-aids. I think people looked at the welcome letters and really liked them, but that was the extent. Things people did not use: Mini beach balls which was an added thing we had leftovers from our almost married reception. Deck of cards- never saw anyone playing with them. Pashmina's- not one girl wore hers. Postcards as our guest book.. Im pretty sure we wont get one of them back! I feel like Im leaving out a few things. But all in all. I think all you really need is a fun "beach kit", a beach bag, and the cups/steins to make a perfect OOT bag! Guests really love them.

thanks for sharing!!! love your dress!!! My dress was on the bigger, non beachy, fancy side and I loved every minute of it!! no worries.. its your day! thanks for sharing everything! have a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!

everything looks amazing! hope your day is fab!! love your invites and std's! and love the "oh shit kit" priceless!!

the clay bouquet was awesome!!!!!!!!!!! it made it to turks just fine along with the boutonnieres and mothers bouquets! And it looked amazing in the pics I have been able to see. I absolutely love it, so happy I went with that!!

Cassie you are going to be a beautiful bride! You look gorgeous!! The dress is stunning!!! YAYAYA for finding "THE ONE!"

We are using a photobooth for our AHR. Its $1100 but you get a guest book out of it too. So when people take pictures they print 2 strips (8 total) 4 for the guestbook, 4 for them! They have tons of props and on the outside of the photobooth is a huge tv screen for you to play slideshows of other pictures, so we are going to play a slideshow from our DW!

Omg ISAIDYES! we leave tomorrow at 4pm. and Im pretty sure I have a fx in my foot tooo!!!! I had the radiologists look at it at work and they think something is up. Weird. So sorry about your foot. Have a fab wedding... dont let it get you down!!!

Hmm hard wax never works on my eyebrows. So Im going to assume it wont for a brazilian on me either.

Well I bucked up and got my first brazilian todAY... YOWZA.. some rips hurt some didnt. but holy cow. And I got my legs done too and I actually enjoyed it. didnt hurt at all. felt way better than the brazilian! but I think they are totes worth it. I feel sooo clean and fresh after waxing!

THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL OF YOUR KIND WORDS!! Quote: Originally Posted by sammysgirl holy cow tucks! Everything looks amazing! I can't wait to here all about your big day!

How would you be transporting your bouquet to Turks & Cacaos? Wouldn't it get smashed in your luggage? Im carrying my dress and duffle bag on the plane. Im going to put the flowers in the duffle bag, that way they will have room to shift a bit and I will keep them in the bubble wrap. Im a little nervous but it should all work out!

Bath and Body works Mini Anti-Bac I purchased the tylenol from a fellow BDW. The immodium and sunblock was from minimus.biz. The first aid kits were only $1.28 on firstaidmonster.com. I am making kits with the first aid supplies in them along with the sunblock and everything. And these are the tops I made to seal the bags. We are putting post cards in the OOT bags for our guests to send back to us, like a guestbook. I also got these for free on Vista Print. We are giving Pashminas to the ladies and cigars to the guys the night of our wedding. I made tags for the pashminas and Im going to tie them with pink and white polka dotted ribbon. I also had a wedding sign made on Etsy that says "Just Married" in our colors for when we take pictures. Well I think that is it! Thanks again to each and every one of you. I love BDW! Contact me if you have any questions. I am happy to help in any way possible!

Sarah from Etsy also made my stunning and amazing bouquet. It's made entirely out of clay! I will be attaching a "something old" brooch from my mother on the stem wrap. My DIY Welcome Letter. (the writing is missing but it will be broken down into three separate days with their timelines and activities.) These were very time consuming but I love the way they came out! OOT bags: We purchased the bags on sale from VistaPrint. Mugs/Steins are from Factory21 on Ebay and Amanda was GREAT to work with! Scentsy travel tins (PM me for details) still more...

I also am going to be giving my MOH a starfish to put in her hair for the special day. This was given to me by someone very special on BDW! My girls are going to be carrying bright pink parasols and origami flower kissing balls. We got boutonnieres for all of the guys and boys. They are made out of clay by Etsy seller FentonFlorals. She is amazing to work with! I also had Sarah make mothers bouquets. For my parents we got them personalized hankies from Etsy and a Shutterfly photobook filled with pictures from our Almost Married Reception! http://www.shutterfly.com/photobook/...f3edf1ebadc1fb still more...

Gifts: We got the entire bridal party (guys and gals) Oakley Sunglasses! I also got my girls earrings for the big day. We got the guys necklaces. We got our three junior groomsmen personalized football and baseball jerseys!!

My garter and toss garter. I also purchased these on Etsy from the GarterLady. She also made the Hanky for my mom. I wanted something different. She has tons of AMAZING garters! My TTD. I wore this dress for our almost married reception and it is a bridesmaid dress by Barijay. FI will be wearing khaki linen pants and a white linen shirt. Obviously they need to be ironed. His best man and groomsman will be wearing linen pants and a blue linen shirt. We purchased them all from Island Importer. We got the guys flip flops from American Eagle (on sale). I got my girls dresses and shoes from American Eagle. They just happened to work perfectly with our colors and the beach! Our junior groomsmen are wearing blue button up shirts as well and khaki shorts. still more...

I had my wedding jewelry made at Kay Jewelers. I "borrowed" a bracelet from a girl I work with, but I also purchased another one, so Im not sure which Im going to wear yet...
