We have been together for 10 years and living together for 5 years, but have finally decided to commit to the institution. Our tentative wedding date is May 17, 2011 We plan to be married in Princeville, Kauai, Hawaii What I hope to get from this forum: a lot of ideas, a great deal of like minded info sharing, and hopefully some emotional support. This wedding has been an emotional time for both of us so to share the experience with like-minded individuals is great. Thanks Lori Welcome Lori! Congrats on starting the process! I love this forum! It has so much information! If you have any questions I'd be happy to help with anything I can! =)

Although I did not follow your planning, I took a peek at your pictures and they are BEAUTIFUL! Congrats!

So glad to hear that everything worked out! Congrats & have the time of your life! =)

These are really pretty!

His family will be attending on a laptop in the front row right where they belong. We will also have the entire reception video taped and will have a family dinner watching the video the next time we are with them. I hope this helps, good luck with your tough decision. The webcast is such a good idea! What type of technology besides a laptop and webcam will this require? Just a wireless internet card??

Archie- thank you so much for all the info and thoughts. Very helpful!!

very pretty!

these are beautiful! I would def. buy if I hadn't already ordered/paid for mine! You will have no problem selling! Good luck!

This is a great find and I LOVE the coach outlet! I get all my bags from there! This is such a great gift. Your BMs will love them! I may have to borrow this idea!

If you have a Target nearby sometimes the "dollar spot" has some nice options as well as the Dollar Tree

This may be a lot of work, but what if you took the labels off or put the shampoo in different bottles with cute lables or something like that? I think using resources like this is a good idea, but It may be strange to see the hotel info on the bottles in the OOT bags, but I think including the shampoo and such is a good idea...

good to know!

This is so cute! I may have to take some inspiration from this! =)

That flower looks GREAT on the shoe! I have not been able to find something reasonably priced that would be good for the beach either! I am so glad I stumbled across this post! Thanks for sharing!

These are great! You did an awesome job! =)

These are lovely! The colors are great together!

all i can say is, WOW, these are SO awesome! I know I would be so excited if I got one in the mail!

It was a little time consuming since I have 7 bridesmaids, but they came out really cute. I love this!

This is a really cute idea. I may have to give it a whirl!

This is such a cute idea! If I come up with anything creative I'll def share!

These turned out great! I was going to do my own but chickened out so I hired someone =( Great job!

Welcome & Congrats! I am getting married in the Riviera Maya as well- so beauitful! Happy Planning! =)
