Good luck everyone, I hope everything works out for the best in the end!

I much prefer #1, I think that it is classier. I find the flower distracting on #2. She did a great job!

These look amazing! Great job, and go dad!

We are offering to help friends attend since we have a minimum # of rooms that we have to fill and we have quite a few empty rooms. If we don't fill them with friends, we would still be paying for empty rooms! Regardless of this I would have still helped friends that I really wanted to have there, should they have needed the help. If she's willing to let you help her, I say go for it.

Great photos, I added a comment for you! You're now at 26 comments, congrats I love your dress BTW!!!

Hi Tammy, welcome to the forum! You will find lots of info on here to help you help your sister-in-law!

Congrats Eryn, welcome to the forum! Good luck with the planning, it will all work out!

Congrats and welcome to the forum! You will find tons of info on here!

Aloha Stacy, congrats and welcome to the forum!

Welcome to the forum Cheryl and good luck with your planning!

Looks amazing!

I really like #1 on you, that one made me go WOW! In second position is #10. You've been trying on some great dresses, but they are somewhat similar so it can make it really confusing... I agree that you'll know when you see *the one*. In my case though I couldn't afford *the one*, so I settled on something else...

You can give them their gifts at the slumber party? They don't need to receive the gifts in front of everyone IMO. I can feel your pain, there is so little time and so much to do! It's hard to make everything "just so"!

They look fantastic, good job!

I think a paler suit or khakis is more suited for the beach!

Wow, these are amazing!!!! They're all good. You must be thrilled! I love how much coverage you got of the wedding days, it will make for great memories!

The orchids are stunning! I find that the lilies look too shinny to look real, unfortunately... There are some great (fake) orchids out there, this could be a good alternative!

Hey ladies! DH is bald and so is looking for a hat to protect his head for the wedding day (and also prevent shinny / sweaty head photos). The thing is, he has quite the small head, especially since he has no hair. Hats that fit me are too large on him, and most size small men's hats (and even women's, we tried!) are too big. We've tried lot of stores but I'm running out of ideas... Any suggestions for hats in the greater Vancouver BC area that we could go and try on? Cheer!

You're so organized, you put me to shame! The earlier the better I think, much less stress that way!

Overbooking? Wow, I wish that I had that problem! At this rate I think that I'll be stuck with lots of empty rooms... I think that it's great that you have so many people coming! It will be tons of fun even if some people are at other hotels.

Let me know what you found out! Haven't found anything - I think that we'll wing it when we get there! Note sure if it's a good idea, but it will have to do!

Is this the same photographer who will be taking your PF wedding pictures too? Yes, it will be the same photographer. I loved working with her and the result was amazing, so I'm really excited about this! Quote: Originally Posted by Mel&B For the entertainment during the week, we had the fire jugglers and drummers.

They played/juggled for a lot longer than I thought they would, and it was such a fun surprise for our guests! This was not part of our package, but something extra we added. I highly recommend it! We also played poker with Adam on massage day. It was really fun- I think the guys especially had a great time with it, and Adam is very cool and an awesome teacher. Hope that helps! Let me know if you want more details. Quote: Originally Posted by kate.com Hey girls, I am pretty sure karaoke is not an option any more because Aldo is no longer at PF. He was the DJ/bartender/karaoke singer. I know they have a good dj lined up but maybe he doesn't feel comfortable leading karaoke?!. Hope that changes! We had the fire dancers/drummers as a surprise for our guests after the welcome dinner and they were really cool. They do go for a long time. We played Texas Hold'em with Adam and Mel is right in saying he is a really great teacher. And we used the 10 piece mariachi band. They played for our processional, took their break during the ceremony, played the recessional and at least 30 minutes into the cocktail hour. After they were done the DJ will crank the music to keep the energy level up. Perfect and gave it the mexican vibe we were looking for! I also liked not having to worry about ceremony music, although my girlfriend did sing in the middle. Thank you ladies! I think that this helps us out a lot. Too bad about Aldo, I was really looking forward to some bad karaoke!

Mariachis? Is that what the Mexican Trio is? Or are you talking about the music options for the ceremony? I'm confused! I also noticed that the karaoke option isn't on my spreadsheet anymore - odd!

Hi ladies! I'm trying to pick the entertainment options, and I'm not sure what to go with. What did you get and what would you recommend?

Keep up the good spirits! Hopefully it turns out well, if not, at least you have a great alternative!
