Awesome job Britney! You are so far ahead of the game! I love your bridesmaid cards, I made some, but I did a one side card- I wish I would have made a folded card like yours!

Great job!! I'm so excited for you! Love your hair- that's the look I'm going for! Your proposal is so cute!!! What bags did you purchase from Oriental Trading and are you happy with them?

sounds good to me!

Your friend owns that bar? That's cool! I haven't been there since it's been Shooterz but I was there a couple times before it changed owners. I've never ate there- I'll have to give it a try!

I'm pretty sure it's free at Sephora, you just have to buy something. I haven't looked into MAC. I plan on bringing one of my bridesmaids with me and taking pictures and that bridesmaid will do my make-up on the wedding day.

I was thinking about doing the same thing at either MAC or Sephora!

I'm in town near ZX gas station and FCB Bank and Scott Credit Union.

Haha, I like that- I will be telling the people that are not coming the same thing. I am so sorry so many of you ladies are going through this. We have been quite fortunate that we have 43 people booked so far. Those people have placed their $50 deposit for the hotel. Our flight prices are still not out and I'm scared that once the prices come out that they are going to be high with gas prices right now and people will end up not coming. The majority of our guests are our friends, which makes us quite fortunate because we only have about 10 members of our families coming. Apparently we have closer friends than family. We did have one couple tell us for the past 2 years before we got engaged that they were coming to Mexico no matter what and our male friend even offered to be our officiant!! Then when it came time to put down the deposit, they ignored us and waited 2 weeks after the deposit was due to tell us that they did not have time to come with our male friend starting a new job. (We are getting married the day after Thanksgiving- you will have time off! Ugh, annoying!) But I keep telling myself the same thing, it will not matter who isn't there once we get there!

What a small world!!!!!

Congrats Tammy!!! You look amazing!!!!

We got engaged on Christmas Day, 2011. We put down our deposit with the travel agent at the beginning of Feb. We sent our our STD's at the beginning of Feb, so a little less than 10 months in advance. The hotel deposit through our Travel agent was due Feb 25th. So everyone had 3 1/2 weeks to put down their $50 deposit. So I already know who has placed their deposit and technically who RSVP'ed. What's everyone else doing? STD: Feb 5, 2012 (little less than 10 months in advance) Invites: Not sure yet- I am going to make my invitations (boarding pass) invitations to everyone who has placed their deposit and I know is coming and probably send out around July Or August (3 or 4 months in advance). For everyone else that I know is not coming I am going to make invitations on Vistaprint and send those out about 2 months in advance. RSVP by: I don't think I am going to have one- I will know who is coming and who isn't based on who booked with our TA or otherwise they will tell us they booked. Our final payment is due October 5 (less than 2 months before) so I guess I will know my FINAL headcount by then. I don't think anyone would book a trip less than 2 months before! (Or I hope not anyways!) Wedding Day: November 23, 2012 Our 7 1/2 year anniversary!

Man, I don't have time to go today I have to go straight home after work and get ready for our last law school event for my fiance. Boo!! I just signed up for the emails though- so here's to hoping they have another one soon!!!! I just signed up for the rewards program last time I was in there buying things for my "will you be my bridesmaids' cards. I know- these 8 months are going to fly by!!

Ya, I thought about that- but I don't know if that's worth it either. Michael's has 50% off coupons? I thought they only had 40% off coupons! That is good to know! Well if I can drag the fiance or someone else with me every time I go- I can knock em out two at a time, lol. Ya that was the cheapest I could find on eBay also. BOOO, lol! Good thing I have a little less than 8 months to make it to Michaels 6 times, haha!

Oh, the same. Haven't found anymore on eBay and haven't found any other websites yet. I am going to check out a few stores this weekend I think. Awesome, just let me know! thanks Diane!

Haha, very true! I hope they have better music come Decemeber/January when I want to make one! Otherwise I have a friend that is good at that kind of stuff and I'll probably just have him make one for me with the music I want!

Love it!

If you have ordered something once, it will save it to your account and you can order again later!

HI Far! I am getting married at Sun Palace on Nov 23, 2012, but we are staying at MP the 19-26! So I will be there for your wedding! How long are you going to be there? Wow- 80 people is a lot! congrats! What section is your room block?

Awesome thank you so much Kristee!!! I appreciate your advice! I emailed Cherry Blossom a little bit ago for prices!

Hey Diane- what have you sold? Thanks!

That would be great- I think I want the Blue and Yellow ones- my colors are blue, yellow and orange and all my table sashes and bows will be orange, so I think I want to incorporate the other colors with the maracas!

Boo, they only ship to Canada!

awesome, thank you! I wonder how much shipping would be to the US?

Ok, cool- I will just email them tonight- hopefully their site will be back up soon! Great, thank you for the suggestion for Market 28- we will check that out!! Yes, we will be going into the ocean as well- either at our resort or somewhere around Market 28 if it is near the ocean!

great job! Everything looks amazing! Where did you order your paper from for your invitations?
