Have an amazing time!!! Congratulations!!! ) As for the tipping....I haven't really thought about it yet :oP I know I am definitely taking a lot of ones with me to tip for drinks/food from time to time at the resort (even though tips are technically included). I don't really know the etiquite (sp?) of others?? I don't really think I'll tip the WC or photog?

Here you go! Good Luck! I had the most fun with this. Here is the thread to explain everything: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/thread/72302/jess-s-oot-bags-done-w-pics

I have 50 camera-shaped die cuts that I was originally going to use as photoshare cards, but I ended up changing my mind (mainly because I'm a little exhausted of DIY projects :oP). The shapes I have are black, but the purple picture shows you what you could do with them!

awww super cute!! Mine is going to be the cover of my welcome book...here it is!

hahaha too cute!!

There is a Verizon one too

Alisa...nevermind!! I found yours..and that is the exact template that I filled out! Did you print it on regular card stock and it was sturdy enough? I was hoping to back mine with orange or blue to make them stand out, but that seems like to much extra work!?

Alisa, did you make your own programs?!? Do you have a pic!?! The program is really my last DIY project and I'm having trouble finding the motivation. I'm starting to think a plain program might be the way to go. I'm going to check yours out Steph, thanks.

Planning is going good here!! I'm just realizing all of the little details that I need to get finished up on... I actually just found a vendor on etsy that I am probably going to use to wrap everything up (mainly because I'm about at my end with DIY projects :oP). I still need placecards for dinner, welcome tags for the OOT bags and stickers for my photoshare camera card (I cut out actual camera shapes with my cricuit, but had no clue how I was going to put a label on them and don't feel like putting forth the effort anymore lol). I also need to print out and put together my welcome books for the OOT bags. oh ugh...and my programs!!! Maybe i'll find someone for that too lol. I want to do a fan program (not raffia but the paper kind that fan out), but I'm seriously not feeling like doing that myself either...haha. Am I becoming a lazy bride!?!?!

It is about 4" x 4"

Sach: I will have 18 guests + us...I am having my cocktail hour at the pandero!

Fun!! Old: I thought I could use my earrings and necklace, since I bought them last year in Mexico...but apparently that doesn't count! haha...so I'm thinking I might wear a diamond ring on my right hand that was passed down to my mother by her great aunt...but I'm a little afraid of wearing another diamond ring?? Would that be wierd? I also have a pearl ring that my mother passed down to me that I would wear? New: duh! haha...everything!! Borrowed: My mother is giving me a pearl bracelet to wear, also on my right Blue: I have cute VS undies that say "bride" in blue!

Yay!!!! Sooooo exciting!! Are you looking for a welcome bag tag? I didn't get there yet sorry

Hey Liza! Del Sol does amazing work...but I'm almost positive they cost more than La Luna. I believe La Luna is a less expensive branch of Del Sol. Have you checked out Juan Navarro, Gonzalo Nunez or Elizabeth Medina? They might be a little less expensive and I believe their work to be comparable? I am using Octavio Montes...he is the most affordable photog that I have come across (I'm paying $1050 for 4 hrs of wedding day coverage and 2 hrs of TTD -- which includes 145 prints and a CD of all photos taken). I honestly couldnt afford any of the above photogs or I might have gone with them instead. I have heard nothing but amazing things about working with Octavio, so I am sure I will be more than happy with him!

Yay!!! I'm almost 1 month away and I can't waittttt )

My ring bowl from etsy vendor SayYourPiece came today!! Love it )

Hey girls!!! I found this vendor on Etsy that makes super cute personalized ring bowls. I liked a combination of two fo the bowls that she already had made (one with starfish, the other with the quote I love) and she designed a custom one for me to combine both ideas WITH my wedding colors!! She was great to communicate with (she created the design for me within 24 hours and sent me a picture to see what I thought!!) and I received my bowl within 10 days!! Etsy Vendor -- SayYourPiece -- http://www.etsy.com/people/SayYourPiece Here is my bowl that came today...I love it! (sorry the quality isn't the best) She personalized the back for no extra charge!

Thanks Michelle!! Omg!! I can't believe you leave in 6 days!!! You must be so excited!!! I can't wait to get to that point!!

Ok ladies, June is almost a week away!! ahh!! I'm like getting to the point now where time is starting to feel like it's dragging! I am so ready to get on the plane and head to Mexico!! I can't believe it, but I think I'm almost ready to post my planning thread!?!?! I'm just waiting for my personalized ring 'dish' to get here from etsy and then I think that is about it? I just picked up a shadowbox type frame from AC Moore today and am going to try my hand at the DIY sand ceremony frame! I just can't see myself spending $50-60 on the ones I find online!! I bought the frame for $8 and am hoping the directions I found online will be enough. I also bought orange sand, and instead of doing both of our wedding colors, I am planning on doing orange sand with actual sand from the resort! I thought it would be a nice way to incorporate a piece of where we are at? What do you think!? My next dress fitting is in 6 days!! woohoo!!

I honestly can't find where I got the pocketfold invites from -- I thought it was lcipaper.com, but I can't find them anymore unless they don't sell this design anymore? I believe the color was the blue lagoon. The orange accent paper is from paper-papers.com -- http://www.paper-papers.com/Curious-Metallic-85-x-11-Paper-80lb-Text-120GSM-50-PK.html and the RSVP cards were free postcards from vistaprint! The beachy design is one of their pre-set templates! Good luck!!

Cute!! I think its perfect...and I actually think its really sweet that its a man singing to a woman.

Ahhhhhh!!!!!! Is anyone else frustrated with the pop-up ads!?! Every time I am on a BDW page I get the Visit Orlando advertisment popping up in my viewing screen! The ad is a "roll-over to expand" ad but it pops up no matter where my cursor is! It is becoming so frustrating (
