moni, i actually found a shop that carries sarahseven in NYC, i emailed to make sure they would have the style i want but the more i think about it the more i'm convinced that it wouldn't be worth it. i do need to slow down on the OOT items! i just can't help myself, especially with all the summer stuff everywhere I love the earrings! who's the seller? thanks sarah! no need to rush on your client's feedbacks, there has been plenty on facebook! but would love if they share pictures! haha

Moni, I really like the lasting love dress... but for how simple it is I might go the knock-off route again! I just don't know if it would be worth it to spend that much on a dress. I really do feel her prices are kinda steep, if I'm going to spend $1500 on a dress I might as well go with Vera's White collection, right? I mean I really have never heard of sarahseven 'til now! Hey, your date's getting closer! How is everything coming along? Can you share the contents of your OOT bags? I'm trying not to go crazy on mine so I need a sample to follow! ha! Katusha, when is you date again? I'll add you to the date list!

By the way, as I am frantically trying to search for my dress I came accross sarahseven... Has any of you heard of her? She used to be an etsy seller ( I think it's unfortunate that she's not anymore! I say this because I think she marked-up her prices! lol). Anyways I thought she's worth checking out, her dresses are sooo perfect for destination weddings! I absolutely am in love that I'm actually considering splurging on a dress, we'll see! Check it out sarahseven.com

deesanders, i got the template from ayleebits.com

moniwoni, let us know if you get any answers! deesanders, i sent you an email in regards to the template... surprisingly after I figured out how to set the margins so that it would be on the right spot front and back everything was pretty easy... But I would recommend doing a sample just so you can really see everything and edit how it looks, I found a couple things that I wanted to change as soon as I printed it.

ok ladies, here is a sample of my passport invite... i think i'm definitely changing the cardsotck for the pocket holder to a pearlized paper as well, it just so happens i had this regular one so i figured i'd try it out. also do you guys think i should put a liner on the pocket? let me know what you think and if there are ways to improve? Thanks!

oops, didn't mean to hit submit right away! anyways... i think i watched the video right after i came home from not finding my dress, so maybe i was a little depressed to appreciate the whole thing? lol. and i would wait, i think as far as your contract... i realy can't see how your month would end up being more expensive that my month!

Deesanders, anything above a size 3 would be easy to alter! Thanks!

Moniwoni, I attempted to watch the video, but couldn't watch the whole thing after the first 30 secs. haha... I'm hoping that wasn't the videographer! Ladies, If you guys happen to be at your Macy's and have time to peek at their formal dresses, do you mind checking if they have that white dress I posted on here? I went back to purchase it at my store but now it's gone!!! So sad about it, there were 3 left in my size and it's completely gone! I would appreciate if you can help and also only if you happen to be at the store, Thanks! JB

Another Now Larimar bride! Welcome Katusha! All of us here are very willing to help with any questions you have and are always sharing info to help out with the wedding plans!

By the way did any of you see any of the new photos on facebook? Some awkward pics but pictures all the same! ha!

Gorgeous dress! Are you keeping it in that color?

I will be getting the group specials through my TA, I'm booking the Now Larimar... I'm from the US though, but I'm pretty sure you'd be able to get that deal as well. Ask your TA about it, that's all I did through mine. Good Luck and Happy Planning!

Acutie, those paper are actually $5.99 for 25 sheets, but was on sale 40% over memorial day, but they always have those 40% off coupons on their weeklys so you can just use that just in case the sale is over. But I think you still save about 5-10 bucks compared to buying it from paperandmore.com and all the other places I've checked online. I'm still searching for orange pearlized paper though, joanne's only had certain colors. But i'm pretty sure they had pink Deesanders, Thanks I will always share my bargain finds! Vav, Welcome and happy planning! I'm sure you will find a place that you will get as excited about as we are here!

Deesanders, there are 4 pages with something printed on them front and back... I'm planning to post my sample as soon as i have it done. I finally figured out how to print it on the right spot. My printer does't print on both sides at the same time, so that was the tricky part for me... just ran out of ink so will be maing a trip for that... Acutie, I plan on sending out the bags to you today and thanks for letting me know about the pashminas. I'm actually planning on giving all the girls guests one as part of their welcome bags. They come to about $2.50 a piece which I thought wasn't bad

acutie, awesome job with the STD's. it looks great! you're right about the cost, it definitely ends up a lot cheaper than having it made but the time you put into it does take a toll... i'm starting to work on my passport invites, i figured printing it just right front and back would be a bit tricky so getting a head start would be essential! i got some pearlized cardstock from joanne's on sale $12 for 100 sheets! i thought that was a good deal

We're definitely doing an AHR either a backyard barbecue if our new built home would be ready by May or a brunch a week or two later after we get back home from DR. I think my Future-in-laws wants to take on the expenses so it would depend on them what they want to do for it, we got lucky on that part! LOL. One less expense I have to worry about! Ladies just wnt to bring up the pashminas again, if any of you are interested on getting in on my bulk order please let me know!

deesanders, it's not a dumb question at all! haha... there are a couple of brides on the forum that started a traveling starfish (it's bouquet jewelry). they look like this in different colors http://www.bouquetjewels.com/PhotoGallery.asp?ProductCode=Starfish. I think there's a blue out there, not sure about what other colors. i guess the idea is the starfish becomes your "something borrowed", i thought it was a cute idea and wanted to be part of it since this forum has helped me through so much of my planning already and i'm still 11 months out! that's the traveling stafish

Acutie, thought you'd be interested to know that there is another bride starting a clear traveling starfish!

Christi, We are finalizing our contract, but should be booking soon. The wedding package we chose includes a free room upgrade, as well as our group contract. That's something you should consider before you book the Master... it ofcourse depends on availability so if money isn't an issue and you're set on getting that category Idon't see why you shouldn't. I don't think you would have to wait too long as far as booking, you're within a year so air rates should also be out soon for you. I would also recommend buying the insurance with your travel, that guarantees also the best rate, so if you book now and the rate goes down in the future you can get the better rate Hope that helped!

Deesanders, I wasn't sure if the size would be good when you start to edit it on your own? Just let me know if you want the plain map, without the stuff I added on it Acutie, got your bags 8 pink 7 green will send them out Tuesday, hope that's okay?

Oh and as far cocktail and reception I'm hoping to get the Castaways for both. It's open air which is what I want without being "on sand" the whole time.

VERY NICE Acutie, love the idea! You must share pics of the finished product! I'll see about getting 8 pink and 7 green, will update you tomorrow when I get them

Hi Christi, do you care if the TA is not based where you are from? I have a two I can refer to you. Have you checked applevacations website for a rate yet? I would definitely check that so you have an idea even if it's just for land only.
