Havent had much time on here this weekend but Ive been working on finishing up some DIY projects so i had to share : table numbers, cake table sign, & menus (sorry if the pictures are big ) Also had my bridal shower yesterday which was such a blast! My best friend & her mom threw it for me and did all the food mexico themed which was fun. Up next bachelorette party in 3 weeks!

I did my own hair (i have clip in extentions in the pictures), and for my make-up i had it done at the MAC counter at nordstrom (for free!). I brought all my own outfits, they provided the sheet though, but im sure if you wanted a colored one or something you could bring your own. I brought the pearls and other props with me. That would be so great if they come up to olympia, it was such a great experience and jessica was great to work with. She made it so comfortable and fun which was perfect because i was so nervous and akward to start out.

Seriously! you ladies have been busy the past couple of days! When im reading through i think of all these things i want to say then by the time i finally get all caught up and to the last post i forget most of the stuff i was going to say On my list to do this weekend : - Print & put together welcome booklets (which were a totally last minute decision as of a week ago but im pretty excited to see how they look all put toghether) - print & put together menus, place cards & table numbers - make ring bearere pillow & flower girl pail - BRIDAY SHOWER saturday! im getting really excited! I have no idea what they have planned for me but i cant wait

I just checked out the website for the venue you are using and it is incredible! So different than a typical resort DW! I cannot wait to see your wedding pictures, your guests are going to love this setting!

This is such a cute idea! cant wait to see pics! and far as being down in the dumbs i hear ya! I am soooo stressed out right now im to the point where i just want everything to be done & paid for so we can just finally get to mexico and relax stress free. Ive just been grumpy, tired and edgy lately and definitely not motivated to work out or anything anymore. not sure whats going on but im not liking it! Keep your head up, thing will get better and our trips will be here before we know it

Brandy - your ahr invites look fantastic! I seriously cannot wait to see all of our April 2011 girls (and our may 2011 girls) planning threads! We all pretty much rock and just wanted to tell you all again how much help and support you've all been and I can't imagine doing all of this without you ladies! Speaking of AHR- we haven't even found a venue yet, I have like a panic attack whenever I even think about planning our AHR an paying for it!

I purchased my hair flower online and absolutely love it! Its made out of clay and is the coolest thing ever

Your books are fantastic! I'm definitely getting most of my ideas & inspiration from them! Thanks for sharing

They are both gorgeous and you're going to look great in either one but i really love number 2!

I am selling 20 orange maracas from Amols who are currently out of stock of these on their website. They are still in the package, never used. I bought them for place cards but decided to go with starfish place cards instead so im looking to get these off my hands. Paid $30 plus shipping, looking to sell them for $30 (shipping included in US) or feel free to make an offer!

Thanks Proti! I emailed her and hoping to hear back soon! Do any of you know if they use the same chairs for the ceremony & reception? Or do I need to bring enough chair ties for both locations? Also do you know what paperwork, copies of ID, and information I have to send aead of time for FI an I and also for our witnesses? I'm so terrified I'm going to get down there and not hve done something right or sent the right paperwork and have a huge mess on my hands.

We've decided not to get our parents gifts, I really wanted to but since we are paying for the wedding ourselves except with the help of my Mom and we are on a extremely tight budget we decided to forgo the gifts but I'm thinking that we'll get photo books made for the parents after the wedding and give to them at the AHR

LOVE the 9 west ones! so cute and fun

I am working on place cards & table numbers for our wedding... do you know if they set it up so the Bride & Groom have a sweetheart table? Or do we just sit at a table with family?

We flew to Spokane, wa a couple weeks ago but it was only a 45 minute flight and she was pretty antsy so I'm hoping to Mexico since it'll be a longer flight on a bigger air plane she'll be able to sleep a bit and watch a tv and color, she's obsessed with coloring right now! And I'm glad Victoria got ahold of you about doing their wedding. I know she's been stressed not hearing back from the photog she booked so I mentioned to her to check with you to see if you'd still be around for theirs or not. Hopefully that will all work out! I think her and I are going to try and meet up for a drink while were both at the resort

Ps. Do you and your hubby get to celebrate your anniversary while you're in cabo?

Trisha- I would definitely love for you to get pics of him opening the boom so I can see his reaction! I can't wait togive it to him! Only 5 more weeks, I don't know about you but I'm so ready for some warmer dry weather!

oops also forgot to mention i crossed another HUGE thing off my list! Just placed my order with StudioSuits, kicking my butt for procrastinating so long! FI went with a Black Linen Suit with Waistcoat and for the fathers & ring bearer we went with Linen pants & linen waistcoats in tropical beige. Im so glad to have them ordered, hope they all come out great and cant wait to see them! Things are finally coming together with only 5 weeks to go !

Lisa - Love your centerpieces too! I like the second one with the blue starfish under the candle! Blondy - my rings are also locked in the safe! I cannot wait to wear them and my hand can sparkle even more ! So I have put my bracelet up for sale in the classified because it was too big and blingy and was taking away from my dress so i picked this up at Nordstrom yesterday and also these amazing flip flops that are SO comfortable! They are Guess brand and were only $34. After trying my pink heels on with my dress I decided i'll only wear them for a few pictures then switch to flip flops because my dress length is PERFECT when im barefoot so i thought these flip flops would be great and are something i'll totally wear again

Tris- all of that is stunning! I honestly cannot wait to see pictures of your wedding!

Those turned out great! I especially love the green band around the pocket fold!

Tenny your pics are hot! Cant wait to see the rest of them! As for work I am a hair stylist & waxer. Its such a fun job but it definitely takes a few years before you start making good money.
