Kat - I like #2!

Ladies, Have any of you started the paperwork process? I don't even know where to start! I guess we need to get a long form birth certificate? Do we need to do anything with our passports?

Shoot ladies, that sucks! My experience with BTR has been great so far. Do you think they covered up the sizes at BTR? I think they are the middle- men - they get their merchandise from distributer and then they sell it. Either way, really shitty. Definitely complain. I hope they fix this up for you!

Thanks for the info, ladies. I will email Rocio and get the ball rolling on the menu and flowers. We have already reserved La Laguna

I ordered mine from Oriental Trading. They ship to Canada! Some other girls got theres from OT as well. I worked out the price and with shipping/tax/duty (I can't remember if I paid duty or not) the bags were just over $2 each. I ordered 60 of them.

Thanks for posting this Janet! I like how you have everything organized into tabs. I will definitely be using this And to the rest of you ladies, thanks for the advice re: RSVPs. I will get in touch with everyone we haven't heard from! to do list sept.xlsx

Stephy - how many decisions were you able to make before you went down there? Did Rocio send you some sort of package with menu options, flowers, decor, etc?

This is off topic but I'm a little peeved so I wanted to share... We sent out our formal invites in July with a RSVP date of Sept 24 (our deadline for deposits is Oct1 - wanted the week cushion to make sure I could touch base with people who RSVPd yes and who haven't put down a deposit). Our invites our passport invites with a boarding pass postcard RSVP, so I suppose it is a little untraditional, but it is still an RSVP with a stamp, which would make one believe that it needs to be returned! I was talking with a girlfriend yesterday who I assumed wasn't coming, but I invited her anyway because she would have come if it were at home. She said that she didn't think she had to RSVP to me, she figured if she just didn't book with the TA then it would be obvious that she wasn't coming. At this point, we have only received about 1/3 of our RSVPs in the mail. I know lots of people - including myself - often wait until the last minute to send those bacl, but now I am wondering if people know they are supposed to send them?! My mom said my aunt thought that the postcard was part of the "decoration" of the card. WTF?! There is a stamp for god's sake! Anyone else experience something like this? I was going to reach out to the people I hadn't heard from after the RSVP date, but now I'm wondering if I should even bother...

Excellent! Glad it turned out well. My BTR orders have been hit and miss... More hit than miss. Which dress did you go with again? I'd love to see it! I'm also ordering from here. I am just waiting for our final numbers. It seems like they only do orders of 50 or 100, and I think we might be over 50 but its gonna be close! Our deadline for RSVPs is Oct 1.

@ Tori - the flip flops are adorable! Well done as always I think you can get those mugs at Chapters! I am sure I have seen them there! I think I need to make a list too... I feel like I should be doing more and that I am forgetting things. I am less than 4 months away and I know that it will be here before I know it.

It will only let me order two different designs for free, plus it is charging me 5.99 for the upload. GAH! Frustrating...I used the premium business card. Maybe that is why?

Ladies using vistaprint... I'm having a hard time getting things for free since I don't want to use the standard templates that vista offers. I uploaded a few things when I got an email saying that uploads were .99, but then the things in my basket were no longer "free" because the .99 upload was from a different email. LOL... this sounds confusing. I hope you girls know what I'm saying here! Anyway, I have the designs for my luggage tags and key cards all set to go but I want to get them for FREE. Any advice/tips are appreciated

Not sure! I will keep my eyes peeled for ya!

I have a pull up bar but can't do the real ones yet! I'm using resistance bands. There is always one person using resistance bands in each DVD so you can see how to modify the exercises.

LOL! I hear ya! It will still end up being smaller than if we were doing it here at home I haven;t done too much planning since the last time I updated everyone on here. Got the FI and GM outfits ordered, AMAZING deal at Moores as we are getting everything 50% off! Just booked an appt for my dress fitting at the end of Sept. Once final numbers are in (end of Sept) I am going to do some more OOT shopping. I want to get started on decor, etc. For ladies who were married already, how didyou go about this? Did you bring stuff with you?

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/130489885394?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 This seller is selling 50 for 5.99. Shipping is 5.00. They have the zipper closing, too.

You can also look on eBay. You can find some really inexpensive badge holders there. Also, they are pretty cheap to ship since they are light and small. Good luck!

Anyone else feelin the p90x blues? I'm STRUGGLING to get through week 8... I've been on week 8 for two weeks technically, just getting in a workout about every other day. I'm heading back to work next week and have been crazy busy getting things together to go back to class (I'm a teacher), plus my FI is on vacation. I actually missed 3 days in a row over the weekend when we had company staying with us. UGH! I was doing so well for the first 7 weeks. How am I going to keep up with this when I am working full time! How do you ladies do it? Do you get up early in the morning before work?

Your video was amazing! You had a beautiful wedding! Congrats! Loved to see the lanterns in action too

Shoot I was in Mtl last weekend and only had time for one store so I chose H&M instead... I def need (prob don't really need but def want) some new bathing suits. I did hear that Aqua had some good sales on at Bayshore though! My dress is from Sinders in Carleton Place. I think you told me where yours is from - Stittsville?

Hi ladies! It sounds like everyone is doing welL! Mllk you even already have your outfits ready to go! Nice! Here's where I am at: Dress is in, going for a fitting in September. BM dresses bought. Groom and GMs suits have been ordered. Photography booked. RSVPs are coming in now; last day to RSVP is Sept 24 as our deadline for group booking is mid Oct. So far we are somewhere in the 40ish range (people who have RSVPd yes and/or put down deposits). OOT bags are in progress. Like you girls, I'm waiting on final numbers before buying some things like mugs. I have been spending way too much time - and money - getting my outfits for the week in Mexico together - LOL! Next up will be finishing the OOTs and getting together things to bring down to with us, like menu cards, favors, etc... Can't wait. It will be here before we know it!

That sucks Tracey! I'm sure that next week at this time it will be the furthest thing from your mind though Have an AMAZING wedding!

This looks great! Did you make this yourself? So professional looking

Alright since you ladies pulled the trigger i'm gonna too! Dress # 2 it is! LOL!

Glad I could help! I hope you are able to get the sizes you need!
