love the site, can't wait to hear the review on the quality! Good Find!!

Nice find Jennybell!! Can you post a pic once you're home? I am heading to the States in Nov and aqua is my color so I may have to pick some up too!! ) I did buy some mugs from Dollarama here in Canada but I'm still questioning them... Hope you find some good deals on towels too!! I'm on the search for bridesmaids dresses and shoes when I go! and some fun summer dresses for me too!

So true, so true about time flying by!! I think I just had a mini panic attack!! lol 6 months, wholly crap...I gotta get on the treadmill! lol!

Spiders are the one thing I can actually say I really HATE!!!

Sweet DEAL!!!! congrats!! I love good deals especially when they're better than expected!! Did you find it on Kijiji...I'm addicted to kijiji, lol I think I'll go and surf the wedding deals on there now! What are your colors again Meghan? Purple right?

Definitely! To count as a group you need ten people and that alone should get you better rates. With our tour company... the 21st person was free... which can be applied to anyone (of course we are taking the $$).... then after that the 42nd person is free! So I am really hoping for that. We are currently at 34 (the 4 others that make 38 are kids and don't count). In addition... I do believe we will be upgraded to a suite. My TA is working on that. Fight for deals / perks if you are going to book as a group. Originally to get the deals we got, we all had to fly out of the same city, but we are spread out all over the country. My TA worked real hard to have all the cities included so we can take advantage of the 21st free trip incentive. When you do the math... our group of 38 people consists of $60,000 +++ to the airline and hotel! Bringing in that kind of cash better get me something, LOL What tour company did you book through? I did not receive any perks either, and I don't even get a room upgrade - we're going to do that ourselves when we get in Mexico!

For all of us Canadian Brides who are considering Lip Balm for their OOT bags: I found a 4 pack of Aquafina Lip balm in a cool long slender applicator at walmart for $2.49...so that's .62 cents a lipbalm which is still cheaper then the dollar stores....Not sure if anyone has already posted this so sorry if it's a repeat!! I haven't decided if I'm going to add the lipbalm or not but this price I can't stop thinking about it!

Smart smart woman!! I didn't even think of that!!

Sorry to hear it's not a DW anymore.... ( A local wedding will be a blast!! Lots of people will be able to come! Where did you get your OOT bags? I would buy them if I knew I could get more but I need at least 30 and I want all the same...

Oh no Tracy! I forgot your rsvp date was today ( Hopefully people will wise up and just get it done - if they know they can't come they should just send the RSVP! I know you've talked about it before but you had emailed everyone to remind them didn't you? Maybe this will mean that they all are coming! I'll cross my fingers and toes for you that you'll at least receive something... As long as you and your FI are at the wedding that's all that counts, and like I said before: if my FI and I ever get married again, lol, we'll definitely be emailing people just to tell them they are NOT invited and we'll just go sneak away!! lol Keep your head up it'll all work out in the end )

Oh Meghan, so sorry to hear that the in-laws have issues!! That's never fun, I hate family tension - although unavoidable! I am really lucky with my in-laws, I've been a daughter to them pretty much from the start and it's been almost 8 years. It's my family that I'm having the trouble with!! lol They are one of the factors why we decided on a DW, knowing full well who could afford it and who couldn't - oh the family drama!!! Hopefully it all work out in the end...for the both of us!! lol We are going to have a blast, we'll both have the Wedding of our Dreams, and we'll have a beautiful golden tan!! lol Mmmmmm sun+ocean=can't wait!! I know what you mean about only receiving bills - my FI and I get soooo excited when we get an RSVP even though we pretty much know who is going!!

I'm so slow, I think I just figured out what AHR stands for - At Home Reception? )

Tracy, I Love it!! I so wish I would have done that!! Funny thing is I didn't put a phone number or an email address on my RSVP's because the price I payed for the return stamps I wanted to make sure everyone mailed the darn things back to me!!!

ebredhawk: OMG, I need that dress for myself!!! I love it! I love that it's soooo many different looks for one great price!! Great find! I have ordered online from VS and it is very easy, and I find the clothes fit really well, even a little big, which is always flattering, if I can order it in a small and it fits I don't really care what it looks like!! lol Sarah: BEAUTIFUL invitations!!! My fav color, and my wedding color!! They are stunning! Meghan: good call on the passport link, I didn't even think of that! Geesh I thought my mailing cost was bad...$40 for 4 invites, that's ridiculous!! Canada Post Eh!! I think I spent in total $120...way more than what I paid for the invites!! lol (DIY) and in that $120 I sent a big parcel full on invites home to be hand delivered to save on mailing costs...all in all I think I sent out over 90 invites. Threw out the postal receipts because I didn't want to think of it again!! lol Told my FI if we ever get married again I'm sending everyone emails!! lol

Looks like I'm going shopping tonight!! Finally a good deal in Canada!! lol
