This is the message I am sending out to everyone on the guest list. ***It has come to our attention that there may be a few people who we have not had a postive history with, whom are planning to be in Vegas the week of the wedding*** TO OUR GUESTS.... We are thankful to our friends and family that are planning on sharing our event with us. We have spoken to several of you and given the details of our event in hopes that it will assist in early planning and ensure your attendance. WE would appreciate if our friends and family planning on attending would have our back and "SPREAD THE WORD" only guest that are invited by Nick and myself are welcome to ANY of the wedding related events. We cannot stress enough that the details of our wedding and the days leading up to are expected to be kept private and NOT shared with NON-invited guests. While we cannot ask anyone not to be in Vegas altogether, we would appreciate some respect and understanding that this trip is supposed to be for our wedding and not just some group party that anyone should be expecting to be a part of. ----BDW-----thanks guys for your help in writing this- your feedback has helped so much and has given me the courage and soap box on which to stand to let people know that this is MY day!

I was thinking of approaching them. or sending them a note.

By traveling down to Vegas I figured we would have no problem having people we did not want at our wedding to come. But now I am hearing that 2 people I really do not like and have had a rough history with are planning on going and leaving the day of my wedding. They are pretty shallow and are coming because our common friends are coming and they want to hang out with the group for the 3 days prior to the wedding. Is it wrong of me to send them an univitation? or Should I speak with our mutual friends and ask that they inform these 2 unwanted guests how incredibly rude it is for them to crash my wedding week? I keep trying to get over it and be the mature one of the situation but I keep going back to the fact that I have done a lot of planning and do not want to associate with them or want our paths to cross. Please help me with ideas. These 2 people are extremly immature and in the past they have caused so much drama at get togethers and group events that I will be stressing so much on trying to avoid them and I think that it is unfair.

I know you might be able to pick up a good package through the hotels web sites as stated above if you are from the states. I don't know how good of a deal it is though, but something worth checking out. Also some times if you sign up for the casino's emails they email specials about once a month for booking rooms at the hotels, but then you would have to book the flight separate. I know the venitan and pallazo always email me deals. Hope that helps. Do you have any idea where your sister in law is holding her wedding dinner? I have been trying to track down a nice small inexpensive venue with a private room for 30 with no luck. look into renting a vacation house. they run about 350 for the weekend and you have room for a wedding/reception and you don't have all the rules. you can look on craigslist for freelance photographers/DJ's/Caterer's, and rent tables and costco is not far for any x-tras. most of the homes are landscaped so they are gorgeous and not far from the strip. plus if you get one with several rooms it can be split up amongst the wedding party or famliy.

very pretty!!!!!

we are getting married July 10th 2010- they have been great so far

I love it!

I'm just wanting feedback. I just booked there this morning.

Does anyone know anything about Lakeside Gardens?

You pretty much can at all the hotels as long as you're discreet about it. They pretend to be all strict about it so that you will order from them, but it's your room. If you want to order Domino's you can, so if you want to order from Jason's Deli or bring in party trays from Sam's Club, you can do that too. How can you be descrete about bringing in food in? I'm wanting to bring in tryas from costco and my own alcohol.

So i've written out a guest list of just the basics. I'm at 65. but i'm not guestimating alot of friends and extended family due to their finances. Is it ok to assume that these people aren't coming? I hate to say it but is there anyway to avoid inviting people. My point of a vegas wedding was to keep it small.

Congrats everyone! I'm so excited to be apart of this group. Everyone seems so helpful and has so much input. I hope everyones day turns out perfect! I'm getting married next July at Mandalay Bay.
