That is my plan! I am forcing myself to work out tomorrow night- Fridays are hard for me! I will be working out in the AM before the bachelorrette party in between making brownies (which I am going to try not to eat!).

I LOVE Jillian Michael's 30 day shred! It's only a 20 minute video, but she KICKS your butt!!! I think all of her videos would be great, I haven't tried any others but I plan on it when I'm done with the shred!

I am on day 5 of level 2 today of the 30 day shred! I lost 4 pounds after level one and then last week I ate horribly! We had TWO food days at work last week, went out to dinner with friends Saturday night and out to dinner on Sunday for Father's Day! Needless to say, I gained all that weight back. So I'm back to having lost only 2 pounds and my friends wedding is in 2 weeks from Saturday that I am a bridesmaid in. Crunch time!!!! Oh did i mention the bachelorette party is this weekend?? Lots of food and drinks! Ahhh! I can do this!

I finally read though this thread! The pictures are incredibly helpful seeing as I am a visual person. Thank you ladies!

I agree...I just figured since I can get about 5 of them for free I might do it....My $50 expires at the end of July and I don't know what else to get since my wedding isn't until Nov 2012 and we don't have the exact date set yet- so I can't make brochures or STDs or anything....

Were you happy with the bags from Vistaprint? I have a $50 giftcard to use there and I need to figure out what to use it on!

Your Welcome! Good Luck! I hope you find a good salon!

After reading your posts, I'm going to try to go about it differently. We have not set the date yet (looking at Nov 2012) and all of our friends know we are having a DW. My best friends have also all said "they will be there for sure." My best girfriends have an idea that they will most likely be in my wedding party- but hopefully within my timeline I can ask my bridesmaids AFTER they put their first deposit down. That is my goal- we shall see if it works out!

You can get FREE and cute postcards from Vistaprint! Esty also has cute postcards!

awesome! He did a great job! I will definetly be using him!

I am in your boat Future Mrs. Hammer! We haven't set the date yet but we are looking at Nov 2012, so there is no way my guests will book in time. My fingers are crossed that the promotion stays the same or gets better! aholen- I hope they found your dress and everything worked out for you!!!!!!

I'm with you! I'd love a getaway!! I wish it was cheaper!

Good question! I'm curious as well! Does MP allow thermal cups- I am thinking about getting personalized thermal cups or bubba kegs for everyone.

awesome idea! can't wait to see the final project!

I can't remember if it was someone from this forum or the Moon Palace Forum, but one bride said that the WC took off the $65 set up fee and didn't charge her because she only had a few things- chair sashes and maybe favors. So keep that in mind. I'm sure if you only have a few things to set up and not a lot of ppl attending, you might be able to get out of being charged the fee!

thank you! that is good to know!

I am curious about these as well..I have my Groupon from Vista print that expires at the end of July and I need to spend $50 so I figured I would buy the totes if they are good quality!

Has anyone used or known anyone that has used aria bridesmaid dresses? http://www.ariadress.com/ I want my bridesmaids to pick their style dress and this looks like an awesome website, but I want to hear from someone who knows about them

I'm jealous!!!! Have an amazing time!!!!

Day 3 and I think I am more sore than yesterday! I like feeling sore though, shows that it is working! This was definetly worth the $10 purchase and I can't wait to see the results!

I knew that dress looked familiar!! Was the dress pretty true to size or did you have to do a lot of alterations?

Congrats Terpgurl!!!! I love your dress! Where did you get it? You look beautiful! Can't wait to read your review!!!

Also- staying moisturized and hydrated after your spray tan will help prolong the color as well!

I don't know about Cancun salons, but I did manage a tanning salon for 4 years so I know a little about spray tans. How many days are you going to be in Cancun before your wedding? A spray tan normally lasts about 7-10 days depending on how dry your skin is (the drier your skin the longer it lasts). You also do NOT have to avoid the pool/ sand. You can swim with a spray tan. But obviously, it will fade faster than if you were not swimming. I recommend looking into somewhere that either uses a Norvell spray tan solution or has the Versaspa booth system. Those systems give you a more natural bronze glow instead of a orangeish glow that the Mystic tan can give. If you are only going to be in Cancun a couple of days before the wedding, I recommend doing it at home the day before you leave and making you "extra" dark so you still have great color when you get married. I hope this helps a bit!

Wow great job jess! I will be "stealing" a few of your ideas! Congrats and have an amazing time!
