Bride Loving CJ

Hey there!! Nice to meet you!! Â We are wedding day twins!!! Whewww Whooooo!!!!! Â I made OOT bags but went off the number of people who booked. I'm sure there will be more later but I have prepared my speech: (clearing throat) Umm hmmm, "Yes, I'm so sorry you don't get a bag. See, I had to plan to put them in the guest rooms with the hotel a week after my RSVP date organized by room number. I'm so sorry but the hotel had to have it by room number so if they didn't have your number by our predeterming RSVP date, there was nothing I could do. These resorts sure are strict with their due dates. I'm sorry but I didn't want to risk messing it up for everyone who DID rsvp on time. I even took an extra week after the date. My apologies." LOL Â Can't wait for my Bachelorette party either! Happening over Labor Day weekend!!! Â

LOL! Thanks!! I woke up this morning to find half of them missing! FI said they were so cute he wanted to take some to work fo rhis friends! I was fuming! I made almost exactlly what I needed. Now, I have to make more. Â

Hey Ladies! Made my chapsticks yesterday! what do ya think? Â The Materials! Â The Final Product! Â

Blue and Yellow Chapsticks I made!! Â

 The Beginning!! I was so intimitating. LOL The sheet of paper to the left was my preliminary black and whit copy of my template to make sure it would cut right and fit. The yellow ones are after I printed them in color on yellow paper and cut them out. This also shows the initially packages chapsticks.   Close up before application!   This shows my progress! (Left to Right) Chapsticks as purchased, my first attempt to wrap them (with the original label still attached - that didn't go over so well), a few after I ripped the original label off, the finished product. The glue stuck much better to the plasic tube than the slippery plastic wrap.   Ta Daaaaa! Final Product!! Besos means kisses in Spanish!   My FI liked them so much that he took half my stash to his job and gave them out to his co-workers. I was so mad he jacked me but I am also happy he liked them! Catch 22

Again, sorry to hear about your dileama. Â I havent even thought much about flowers. I've actually been putting it off because I know that's the one part of this that is going to make my head hurt. However, I really want to get a corsage for my mom and aunt and a boutineer fro my dad and brother. But I just looked at a real touch site and it basically said theres a waiting list and you need to order 6 months out. Â I have NO IDEA what I am going to do about flowers but maybe I'll try to wrap my mind around it next week. I'm too spent to worry about it now. Â

Thanks ladies! Trying to get it together but still need to fill about 3 or 4 pages............

LOL!! That is so freakin cute!! You're not terrible, its supposed to be cute and fun!! Thanks for getting me started. I'll try to work a little with that, LOL, I likey! Â

Hey ladies! Â Throughout the forum, I have found some cute wording and slogans for everything in my OOT bags. Â However, there is one item that is left out and doesn't have a tag. Â I guess it would be okay to just toss it in but it would be nice if I could come up with something cute to say on a tag when I toss them in the bag. Â They are the Royal Blue sleep masks. Â Our colors are Royal Blue and Sunshine Yellow and I could pass these up as they were like $1 with cheap shipping. I HAD to order them! LOL Â Please help! Â

Maybe in the poster roll thing, how they ship posters. Â

Wish I could enter. Wedding not until October.

Here's the map!! See, we are right next to each other...makes me sad that our trips don't overlap :-( But I know your wedding will be beautiful and I'll leave some happiness there in spirit to pass on to your nupials! Oh, and your shoes are beautiful!!!!

Aaawww, thanks!! I am indeed absolutely in love with this dress!! Â

I see that their website is in Spanish. Did the people speak english when you called or must I know Spanish to communicate with them? Â

Thanks for all the help in this thread. My date is October 10th and I sure hope it doesnt rain during my 10Am wedding! Any other time, I welcome the rain, just not for those 20 minutes! Â

I would say that I'm sorry to hear about your situation but I am praying it is a blessing in disguise. I went through the same thing 2 years ago and I certainly know it is not easy. Take time but know that God has the power to work suddenly. Things will come together for you before ya know it. Â I am interested in the petals! Pm'ing you now.

Hey ladies!! Thanks for all your kind words!! This forum has been invaluable! Here's my progress for the week: Â I picked up my dress so it is now hanging in my posession and I struggle every day not to keep trying it on. LOL I made luggage tages. Well, just the inserts because I ended up finding these really cute flip flop luggage tages at Dollar Tree so I didn't have to make the tags themselves, only the inserts. I made my chapstick labels! Wheww Whoo!! I havent attached them yet because I saw this really cute packing tape at Micheals (see photo) and I couldn't find sticker paper in the right color blue so I am going to just print the labels on regular paper in yellow and use the packing tape to secure the labels. Oh and I bought some extra swimwear for the FI and I from Walmart for $3. He got 2 sets of trunks and I got 5 one piece suits. Also I found two cute tankini tops for $10 each at Target, so I just have to buy a pair of black bottoms. Â I guess that's all the update for now!! See you ladies soon!! My day is approaching quickly!! But the tape will have Blue swirls!

Desert Botanical Gardens is having a special contest for 10.10.10 brides. Below is the link for the contest.  http://www.dbg.org/events-exhibitions/hold-an-event/garden-wedding-10-10-10  Here is the link to help them plan. http://www.azcentral.com/style/weddings/articles/2010/02/25/20100225desert-botanical-garden-wedding.html  I just love 10.10.10 brides!! So super excited!!

Yes, my planning thread is going to be super long. I try to restrain myself but there are so many great ideas! Thanks again so much for sharing. You have been an inspiration to me and so many other people! :-) Â YAY! that is great! I cant wait to see the pictures of your final results!!

Hey there!! We're right next door to each other. On this map it has my resort (nh-Real Arena) right above the Paridisa Palma Real! We're neighbors! And when is your date? Maybe we'll run into each other! I get there on the 6th and leave the 13th. How exciting! Â So sorry to hear about your invoice. Â I'll take a look at your website! Mine is www.mywedding.com/curtisandtameka and the wedpass is "ThePerfect10" Â The home stretch indeed! Â The "tying the corset" delima I still have not figured out. My BFF tied it when we were in the salon but my mom is the one helping me get dressed so maybe my BFF can pre-tie it before we leave or something. I don't think my mom will "get it" and she may get frustrated. Â Wow, I would love to find a deal on Spanish dictionaries! I can't find any anywhere! Congrats on that! Â
