Almost Half Off??? What???? I have been eye balling these babies for a while, I wouldn't mind having them for nights out. Well nordstorms is right around the corner from me, so let me know how you managed half off and I'm there!

Hey Ladies... just thought I would share. The knot.com had straw fans $4.99 for 12, which I thought was really good! Supplies Limited http://weddingshop.theknot.com/weddingwarehouse/ProductPage.aspx?scId=Clearance(KnotShop)&pId=P2085(KnotShop)&cId=Clearance(KnotShop)&cTypF=

Yahhhh!!! Good Luck love! You will have a blast and everything will come together! Enjoy.... can't wait to hear all about it

Everything looks great.... LOVE the villa!! Relax, Enjoy and Good Luck!

Thank you very much!!

I agree this is awesome! Love how the colors pop and it looks so yummy!!

Just a quick question... anyone know how many place settings are at the tables for a reception in the porta maria?

All I have to say is WOW!!! Everything is awesome, planning pays off... you go girl! Even though I will be married already by the time your wedding comes, I will be stalking your blog to see everything, since I am so in love!!

I would be happy to help fellow BDW! Send me PM if you need help.

Thanks for sharing... I am printing this now, so I can use as my base for my own packing list. Packing sucks but packing for a trip when your dreams come true is SUPER exciting!!

Absolutely gorgeous... the wedding and you, of course!! I am so happy for you! Reading through your thread put a smile on my face, thinking of how happy you must of been and how great everything looked. You have inspired me to keep at it on the DIY projects! I loved the welcome book, awesome idea and craftyness (I think I might of made that word up, but you know what I mean). Thanks for sharing!!

So kool... How are these marble chocolate shells made? I have the shell mold and I watched a few videos on youtube on making them with gumpaste but chocolate sounds much more appealing! Has any one made them or do you know where to buy them?

Well if you are having a photographer, you can count them, along with the officiant.

Looks gorgeous!!! Good luck!

My shoes came in the other day, they are cute but kind of a disappointment. As I got a 6 1/2, which I normally wear, but these would be wayyyy to tight to wear all night and they are also super narrow. I have not taken them to the beach yet to see if they work, because it's been rainy. But I don't think I will keep them

Love, Love, Love your DIY!!! You ready did and great job and the big day is getting close! I think I remember seeing a post about your dress before, but if I didnt say so then, you def picked the right one, PERFECT on you! Congrats

So SO SOOO Pretty!!! i love it! Congrats

Thanks girl! I can't wait to order mine!

I ordered the sample of different colors and I too was pleased with the condition. I am just worried about how much to order, I don't want to be short, nor do I want to go crazy. Did she say 64 cups was plenty for your aisle and throwing petals? thanks

thanks for sharing... what a deal! I'm on it

Thanks for sharing! I am heading to Michael's in the am to track these babies down!

How exciting... congrats!! Always nice to strike a good deal!

Yes there is an ATM in the beach resort, for all 3 hotels. It has a max withdraw, which I believe is $200. When I was there I just kept going back and taking out more. But check with your bank because there will be a fee to use you card and of course it is one of those stand alone (kind of shady) ATM with a service fee. We did take $1000 cash for spending money, we just went for a few days, and I was extremely nervous! I am in the same boat, as to what to do for the wedding, becuase like you said that is soooo much cash to carry. Correct me if I'm wrong, does the wedding just get added to your room bill? So whatever card you used to reserve your room, will there still be an extra charge to use it?

Thank you Erin!

Hey Leah and Susan, We have 40 people RSVP'd yes so far and still about 30 invites out that we have not heard back. I originally only wanted 20 peps lol, but it has expanded. We are having like a beach bonfire for the welcome party. I read some reviews about it and it sound like it is pretty stress free and iberostar takes care of most of the hassle. When we were there last October we went to one for a Bday at the suites and it was a good time. The beach party was I think Wednesday night. Leah I like the idea of a booze cruise that would be fun! I was going to try to plan some group excurision for the guest who wanted to go. Susan, did you find a catamaran cruise? I know you were looking into it before. Are you guys covering your guest passes for those guest who stay at the Suites? I am torn with this! **I think we need our own thread, lol** Shannon
