Ok this may sound like a stupid question but is this DVD appropriate for a pregnant gal? I would tone it down if needed. I am 20 weeks along and still have no pregnant belly and Doc said it's fine to work out if I feel like it...

Those look fantastic! I love the vintage stamps. Your guests will be so excited to open up the mail box and see this. They will wonder if they were time warped into the 1930s!! Great job to both you and Ana.

I'm with the other girls on this one! It's a destination wedding after all. We can break a few rules here and there right?

I love those J Crew dresses. I am trying to keep my bridesmaid dresses under $100 (or even closer to 50-75 if I'm being honest!) I just think for a beach wedding it doesn't have to be a fru fru expensive dress! Looking for red too...

They really are beautiful! I'm sure everyone was in tears like I was when it was finally put on your finger!! (Or was I the only one?)

I love the dress part of number 3 but am not a fan of sleeves, so would get it altered to be sleeveless! Good luck. Dress shopping is not as easy as it should be is it?

Well then at the very least, you should ask for and receive a discount on the dress, to cover the cost of the alterations that need to be done to fix the mess ups. And don't feel like a bridezilla. This is one of the most important parts of your wedding and the dress shop people should know that! It's the business they are in!

Don't know about photogs in Jamaica but I agree with everyone who is saying that this is not an area of my wedding that I am going to skimp on. I look at it as, I would be spending around the same price if I were to hire a photographer for an at home wedding...(maybe a little bit more, unless you find someone to do it for only the travel fee) so...this isn't a fight my FI and I even had. He was in total agreement that photos are a priority!

That's why I am not spending a whole lot on the cups. I got some at Michaels that say "Eat Drink and Be Married" For 10 they were 4.99, so only work out to 50 cents a cup. That way if someone leaves it lying around the swim up bar, I won't be heartbroken!

Thats too bad. But I am wondering if it is just a temporary shut down? Perhaps if this is something they would like to continue using it as a venue (they might be making good money on it!) Maybe they will get the proper permits and paperwork in place...good luck!

Don't let them get away with anything on this one! If it is not the same as the sample, they need to either get you one that IS the one you ordered or fix the strap on the current one (at their own cost I might add!) to look just like the one you fell in love with in the first place. Don't worry about seeing like a Bridezilla or anything like that either. You deserve to get what you ordered! If you are a size 2 and they ordered a size 12, they would have to fix that mistake right??

For those that are using cheaptotes...I have been looking at the 99 cent natural canvas tote. Looks like it will suit my needs perfectly, has anyone used these and have some input on them? Are they thick enough and decent quality?

Yet another beautiful wedding and beautiful photos to remember it! Your dress is amazing!! And I love the guy with the mustache and his sign! LOL.

Good for you, getting the ones you want! I don't understand how a company can actually charge your credit card and then tell you that the product you want is out of stock, but "here's something close!" My FI hates listening to me dealing with people in situations like this on the phone. I don't let it go! Don't even get me started on the Bell Canada people! lol. A side note, for anyone looking for plastic CUPS with marriage sayings on them, I found some cute ones at Michael's last night on clearance. $4.99 for a ten pack. They are a nice size for resort drinks too, not too big, not too small. They have white ones with EAT DRINK AND BE MARRIED in teal, white ones with I DO in black I believe and red ones with Two Hearts, One Love. Works out to 50 cents a cup! And another side note, today, Michaels is having a 20 % off everything Including sale items sale...you need a coupon but they had lots at the store.

I was at the Michael's in Barrie, Ontario. The only iron-ons that I still need to get are two bridesmaid and two flower girl ones...But hey...the Bride is looked after! I thought the one that said "Property of the Groom" was really cute! Good luck looking for the cups! I thought they were a nice size as well, not super huge. That way people's drinks don't get warm from the sun!

I found some great cups tonight at Michael's...I went there to get the rhinstone iron-ons. They still had plenty of those, so I was happy! I always scour the clearance racks and found a bunch of packages of plastic cups with some cute wedding sayings on them. There was "Eat, Drink and Be Married" "I DO!" and "Two Hearts, One Love" They came in packages of 10 and they were on sale for $4.99, so about 50 cents a cup. I bought three packages of the Eat Drink and Be Married ones (We are expecting between 20-26 ppl for our wedding, so 30 should be safe) They were regularly priced $13 for a ten pack, so it's a great deal. This saves me from having to do a bulk order and shipping them! They had plenty on the shelves too and the cashier said they just recently went on clearance. Also, tomorrow, Michaels is having a 20% off Everything sale (including sale items) with this coupon thingy that they are giving out at the store...in case anyone has some stuff to buy!

If you are looking to design your own, do a quick search on here for instructions on making your own. I know there is a thread for making your own logo in Powerpoint and another thread for making your own logo in Microsoft word. I am pretty dense when it comes to this kinda stuff and managed to design a pretty cute one in MS Word. Good luck!!

We will be registering, but make sure to tell the guests that are coming to the wedding in Cuba that they do not need to get us a gift. We will be having an AHR with a sit down dinner for our extended family and they will all be bringing something. I would much rather it be stuff that we need/want rather than just them guessing!! lol.

I went to a friends AHR this summer and it was great! She had a big BBQ at her family's farm and hired a band and it was just a big fun party. They hired a small town caterer to do a buffet style BBQ lunch and I know it didn't cost nearly as much money as a sit down dinner. If you want to keep your costs down, there are several ways to do it. good luck!

oooh I spoke too soon. I checked the toddler section and they do come in toddler sizes! I am nervous about buying it so soon though, my wedding is not until Feb. 2011! I could guestimate their sizes I guess...they are so cute and cheap!

Those are so cute! I wonder if they come any smaller than that? I have my stepdaughter who will be 5 and my daughter who will be 2 1/2...The 4 will be way too big!

Yeah I don't think 1800 for a 5 star in Mexico is that expensive! But the problem is so many people compare the prices to last minute trips and they really can't compare the two, it's apples and oranges. I say, go with the resort you want and let people know as far in advance approx. what it is going to cost them. They will decide if the cost is worth it! Good luck and congrats!

And speaking of budget per bag....did/do you guys have a set budget in mind before you went and bought everything or did you just pay what you paid and didn't worry about budget? My FI thinks that doing OOT bags will be a waste of money, too expensive and impossible to get to Cuba!

Comes in handy to have a friend that's a graphic designer! Now to only have a friend thats a florist, cake designer and a caterer!!! haha.

We will be doing the picture of us with the spot for guests to write on for our AHR...for our DW, we will not be doing a guestbook.
