Brandy

OH wow Erin!! Thats crazy, I bet you are ready to leave lol I would be too!!!!

sorry, ** you werent kidding*** and I cant wait to see the dress you make

Laura, you look amazing in your dress! And you were kidding, you cut A LOT off!

OH Tisha!! Im so glad you love your dress now, thats so great, you are going to look gorgeous!!! I fell out of bride mode around the 2 month mark too so I know how you feel, you get back into it, once you realize how much closer your date is getting.

Yep Im leaving in about 3 weeks!!! Im excited but Im freaking out bc I still have a lot left to do!! I seriously feel like Im running out of time and I knew this was going to happen! LOL

Yes I finally got them, after about 3 1/2 months of waiting and they came in wrong and I had to wait another 2 weeks for the right ones to come in!!! I ordered through barry promos if you use them I would order them like now!! Because it takes at least 4 months to get them in!

Erin, Im so glad you are making some progress with your AHR, Im sure everything will work out perfectly!!! Well I got a ton of stuff accomplished this weekend, I feel pretty good about it actually, we FINALLY found my mom a dress, she looks amazing in it too, its it nice fitted turqoise satin dress that we found at macys Im so glad to finally check that off the list, I mean she bought like 8 dresses trying to find the perfect dress lol and we finally found one!!! We bought a lot for FI too a lot of outfits for him to have for dinner, if anyone is looking for nice island clothes, macys is having all the cubavera clothes 50% off right now we got like 4 outfits for $120.00 I found a dress for the welcome dinner this picture does it no justice but its super cute on!! And I bought this dress too, I posted it a while back for my mom to wear but she didnt like it so I bought it lol!!

Tris you look amazing in your dress!!! Michele Im glad you had such a great time at your shower! Mine is this coming weekend! I found our ziploc bags at the christmas tree store with no writing on them, also target has them with no writing if you buy their brand of bags

Trust me, it flies by, your wedding will be here before you know it!!

Mocha, I think it would be perfectly fine to ship it to her

Well its getting down to the wire now!! Whats on everyones weekend wedding agenda??? ~Going to pick up FI ring tomorrow (hope it fits this time!) ~Doing some shopping on saturday and sunday and finding my mom a dress hopefully! ~Find some aloe and off wipes for oot bags if I dont find them this weekend then Im wrapping these things up! ~Finish up Thank you cards to parents ~Finish up Guestbook ~Buy gifts for bridal shower hostess (my mom and my mom's best friend) Im thinking the pandora bracelets, what do you ladies think????????

Laura, the bookmarks look great!!!

Victorias Secret the bombshell hands down, that thing has some serious push up/padding in it like you wouldnt believe!!!!

Yay Lizz, doesnt it feel great to check that off the list!?!?!?!

Misti great planning thread!! I cant wait for you to come back and tell us all about it, eeeek Im so excited for you!!!!!!

You could do something like I did for my oot bag tags only attaching it to your favors here they are.... they say thank you and you have made this day even more special

Misti everything looks absolutely amazing!! I know your wedding is going to be so gorgeous as are you, you look stunning in your dress!!!!!!! I hope you have a wonderful time, and I cant wait to hear all about it!!!!

I was missing in action for a bit and missed waaay tooo much!!! Well I guess I'll jump into the latest topic aloe..... believe it or not I found some aloe at our grocery store, I had no luck with target or walmart, so I would try your grocery stores they have a fairly small travel section but thats where I ended up spotting some!

Lisa, I like the centerpieces with the white rocks and the smaller fold on the napkins/menus Tris, thats so great about your dress!! Not sure where I'll keep mine, probably just keep it at home bc I wont be picking it up until like a week before we leave! As far as parents gifts go, I got both mothers those embroided lounge cover towels and bikini bags, I picked up a starfish necklace for my mom, they are getting some really nice thank you cards made up and thats all I have so far, Id like to get them a massage or something nice like that but trying to figure out how to fit it in the budget!!

Next Wednesday!! Jeez it feels like just yesterday you told me you had 2 weeks!!!!!!

I got them from exclusivelyweddings.com The towels are $35 a piece + $6 for the embroidery and the bikini bags are $15 + $6 for embroidery but I didnt get the embroidery on those. I also got my brother/GM a gym bag which is also really nice if you have any guys to buy for, its a great bag, you can tell its really durable

The Bikini bags, I kind of wish I had gotten these embroidered as well, but I didn't want to go too overboard with it, these are really spacious and can fit quite a few bikinis and swimming trunks in them, and they are lined and everything, with a drawstring closure.

I know the theme is due 60 days in advance.... Im 31 days out and havent paid for my 2 or 3 hour reception yet, she does want to have your final guest list though no later than 30 days before, she is supposed to be sending me a quote soon, I just emailed her my final guest list today, and I'll let her know what reception we decide on.... hope this helps I also still have not scheduled or paid for my hair/make up appts or any type of entertainment yet

I received some of my gifts today!! Im really happy with everything except for the beach bag I got my FSIL, there is no way this thing qualifies as a beach bag, its HUGE, Im talking the size of a suitcase seriously!!! Im hoping they will let me exchange it! Heres the Lounge Cover Towels- the quality of these are great! They are nice thick fluffy towels, I only worry about how much room they will take up in the suitcase! And the embroidering is awesome!

Have you looked on Etsy, thats where I purchased my chapstick from, if you send them a message with the amount you need usually they will give you a good discounted price.
