I agree... The last two bouquets are Gorgeous!!

Great job!!

JB321, My wedding dress is the Caprice as well! I absolutely love it! My dress comes in next week. I can't wait to try it on. And I agree, her dresses definitely fit like a glove. Did you order yours yet?

I agree, let him wear what he feels comfortable wearing. I say... save yourself the trouble and leave it as is. I think it'll look great anyway. However, if it's really going to irritate you, then change the BM shirt. Leave the Dad's as is. Good Luck!!

I can totally relate. We're paying for our parents airfare/accommodations as well. We have already advised my FMIL that she needs to be on the same page with her best friend of what their travel dates are. We've also expressed that the longer you wait to book, the more expensive it becomes. We'll see how that goes when it's time to book.

Where?

Love it!! aqua and pink are my colors and this is exactly the look i'm going for.

They look FAB!!

In some cases MIL's forget that they should ask first. I guess they're so excited, they find themselves inviting people without the approval of the bride and groom. I had a similar situation with my MIL. I created a guest list of who was invited to the wedding, including some of MIL's close friends and family that my FI and I know well. Next thing I know, MIL gives me 15 more names of people she wants to add to the list. I already had approximately 20 for her alone. That's a total of 35 people!! The extras that she wanted to add were aunt so and so, from puerto rico. MIL states "I know she isn't coming but just send her an invite so she can see it". REALLY?? Last time I checked invites are expensive and who cares whether or not Aunt so and so sees it. I had expressed that I only had a certain amount of invites left because I bought the exact amount I would need. So of course, I had to go and buy some print a home invites for the extra guests. My motto is.... If i've never met you or have not seen or heard from you in over 2 years, then you're not invited. It sounds harsh but it's true! If someone has been out of my life for over 2 years without calling or writing to see how i've been... then I really don't matter much. If I invited everyone I haven't seen or heard from in a long while and long lost family members, I would have over 300 people. NO WAY!! LOL Fact of the matter is.... You just have to nicely let them know. I also recommend letting the FI do the talking.

I love this!! So much information on the restaurants. I'm glad you ladies answered if not some, but all of my restaurant questions. Keep the reviews coming!!

Cgeris, Valeria is my WC and she's been rather pleasant considering that I've been bothering her 11 months before my wedding. She's pretty slow in responding to my emails but at least I'm getting a response from her. I think it helps that I have a wedding specialist contacting her on my behalf and that's the reason she's responding. Be persistent and resend the email. If all else fails..... email Janina Mendoza at the miami office.

I paid $2.75 for shipping on these babies. A tad pricey but so worth it. I received so many phone calls from guest complimenting on how beautiful the invitations were and how it made them want to take a vacation. Definitely how I wanted guest to feel when they saw them.

I agree with all of the ladies. Follow your heart and think about what it is that you really want.

Bridal shower etiquette is that everyone invited to the wedding gets a bridal shower invitation.

Here's what I did for my message in a bottle invitations... ___accepts. See you at the beach! ___ Number attending ___ regrets. Sorry, stranded on a desert island...

I've booked them for my wedding. When I contacted them they responded pretty quickly. Email them again and see what happens.

I agree.... a TA is the way to go. The less work you have to do the less stress you'll have.

Devastating!! My heart goes out to all of the brides. I'm happy to hear that you will be getting your dress!! I agree with Jenandmark... Awesome customer service!!

I love #2. It's very GLAMOROUS!! Great choice... you're going to look fabulous! I too found myself confused at one point. I kept comparing dresses and what kind of look I was looking for. The reality is that the dress doesn't make you, you make the dress!! That is why the same dress will not look the same on 2 different people. Happy Planning!!

Eliana, your dress is Fab! Fits beautifully.

Oh boy!! Sounds like a lot but everything will come together. Don't worry too much and just stay focused I know.... easier said than done. Happy Planning!!

The first photo came out too small. Here is a closer look:

Hello Ladies.... My invites are all ready for shipping and I wanted to share with you all the end result.... I wrapped the bottles in bubble wrap so they don't break during shipping. I created and printed pre-travel newsletter and attached the RSVP cards to it and rolled it up into scroll. Then fastened it with a blue ribbon to match the ribbon on the bottles. I made labels with the saying... "Message in the bottle, open it and see" and attached to the inside of the box. Check it out!!

Congrats!! Isn't it a great feeling?!?! When I hit that year mark, that was when I felt like "this is really happening"! Now I only have 11 months to go.... Time is flying!! Happy Planning
