She took a photo of the hairstyle she wanted and they did an amazing job! Check some of her my daughters photos out here: Shutterfly | View share Sorry i didnt quote you in my last response.

Yes thank you for this recommendation!! I contacted them also and prices are reasonable for a size of 20 ppl. I just hope everyone is willing to go!

Thanks. I have seen your daughters pics before. They did do a good job on her hair and make-up, however it is a gamble with them. I have heard too many mixed reviews about the salon at the resort, so Im not willing to take a chance with them. I would rather pay the extra money on someone who has 0 neg reviews. But thank you for the recommendation! She looked beautiful!

Like in regards to the guestlist? If so, then I just used TheKnot.com to handle all of that. For my invites I just downloaded a template from the forum and had my co-worker print and put them together. I used Microsoft Publisher for the return address labels and for the address labels I just typed them all out. Im not sure if I answered your question. Let me know if you need more clarification.

Congrats Leigh!!! Cant wait to see pics and here all about it!

Im getting married at 4:00. Im hoping Ill have enough time to take pics with my bm's before the ceremony and FH can take pics with his boys before also. That will save us a little time after the ceremony to take pics together. I hope we can get some good lighting after the ceremony. *fingers crossed*

I looove you pics Jackie!!!! Thank you for sharing them!!!

We had friends and fmaily bugging us and nagging us for more than a month leading up to our contract being signed for the rooms. Once it was booked and our TA rolled out the pricing, not one person has booked yet. One of my BM's bought a new car and another has taken a massive vacation. I don't expect their life to change for our wedding.....but I understand what you are saying about all the blah, blah, blah from people and then NO action on their part. I've just taken the relaxed approach (after much stressing) that those that want to be there and are meant to be there, will be. Everyone else will just have to resume home life with us when we return and get over themselves. Those you love, can cause you the most stress......don't let 'em do it to you!!!! This should be one of the happiest planning phases of your life and you shouldn't have to be overly accomodating for others. Engage your inner zilla and focus on you and FI! Its true, those closest to you definitely cause the most stress! Ive ignorned her for 7mos already, but enough is enough! I hate when people go out of there way to make you miserable. UGH!! But thank you, your advice was very helpful. Im trying to keep bridezilla tamed, but she is gonna come out sooner or later if I have to continue to deal with drama proned people!

[email protected] Sent you an email!

Confession: Im getting annoyed with my MOH. All she does is complain about my DW. When I first told her about my DW she was upset bc she couldnt take off of work (which she could have but she was making an excuse). When I changed the date, her new excuse was and still is $$. Her daughter was supposed to be flowergirl and now shes not bc "she cant afford to pay for her." Now, her new complaint is shes coming alone bc she cant afford to bring her fiance. She called me all sad bc she didnt want to stay in a hotel room alone the whole time. I have probably offered to help her pay for flights atleast 100times. If you choose not to take my help, why are you still complaining?! Suck it up!! This isnt about you, this is MY wedding! Plus, I have family members who are living on a fixed income and are not complaining and are still coming to the wedding. I just want to ask her why cant she just be happy for me instead of stressing me out? Oh, and for someone who is sooo broke, how is it you should purchased a new SUV?? WOW! That felt soo good to get out! I know it might sound rude of me, but Im just fed up. I have so many other wedding issues Im dealing with. I just feel like, either take the help Im offering you or shut up!! Thanks for listening girls....

Thanks!!

You should definitely do something cute and unique. People love that kinda stuff! Ive gotten so much great feedback on the invites already and they just went out. lol

Thank you for sharing!!!! Here are my invites: Sorry the pics are so small. I couldn't resize them

Hey ladies!! Here are some pics of my invites. I got this template off the forum. I got my stamps from Zazzle.com and envelopes from paper and more.

It is a great thought, but I DO NOT like it!!!! :-( What a relief to finally say that.....I've been pretending since March!!!! I feel the same way. Only I designed my ring, but he definitely missed a few details. Im thinking I might change a few things later on. Its been growing on me so I havent been thinking about it lately. Hes crazy about the ring so it makes me happy that hes so proud of it.

I just started P90X and let me tell you, it is CRAZY!! Youll definitely lose 10lbs and more. If thats not for you, I did Weight Watchers for 6mos and lost about 30lbs while on it. 10lbs isnt a lot, you can definitely drop the lbs just by changing your diet. GL!

Welcome Macenzie!! We'll definitely get together soon! Leigh-Just 3 more days till you leave!! OMG! Did you finally get a shirt for FH? I cant wait to see pics and hear your review on Moon Palace. Definitely let me know how the Ipod eqiupment worked out for you. Good luck!!!! Maggie- Yay! Thats so exciting!!! I hope you get the quote you need.

Couples Retreat: Faizon Love

My confession is: Bridezilla is so badly trying to come out of me, but Ive been biting my tongue so hard! I gave my bm's 3 weeks to put down a $56 deposit for their dresses. I sent them all an email and not one person responded. I told them $56 needed to be put down by this Friday and still no one has called or emailed, nothing. They dont even know where theyre putting the deposit down so you would think they would have been called to find out. I understand times are hard, but really? You cant save up $56 and even worse you cant call me to let me know? Not only that my MOH is telling me theyre not responding to her emails about planning my shower and bachelorette party. Seriously? Why did you say yes to being a bm if youre not concerned with my wedding? UGH!!! So frustrating!!

Wow, its been a few days since Ive been on. Ive been dealing with an "invitations situation". So, my co-worker didnt do the best job on my invitations. She messed up about 40 of them. Small mistakes, but nonetheless. Ive been so occupied fixing them to make them presentable. NOW, Im excited because I just put 60 in the mail today. Cant wait to start receiving RSVP's so I can actually know how many people are actually coming. YAY!!! Next, gotta start the OOT bags. Not looking forward to that project. Ill post pics of my invitations soon....

For music my cousin and a good friend of my family is playing some where over the rainbow on spanish guitar for the ceremony We did the mariachi band for the cocktail hour who is than going to walk with us over to Kool I am using DJ Doremixx (Ivan) for the reception For favours I got luggage tags made through etsy that are also going to double as the place card holders. We also got personalized cigars and little vanilla ones for the girls. Lastly I also got pashminas for all the ladies. By the way the suggestion on the side pony tail is definitely I am going to consider. I have to wait till October until my trial so in the mean time the hair inspiration binder just keeps growing lol That is so funny, I was going to book Ivan to DJ at my reception, but last minute the resort said they wouldnt allow it. (outside vendor restrictions) He is such a nice guy! Wow, we've been planning the same wedding LOL
