Couldn't have said it better, I completely agree!! 3 weeks...I am so jealous!!! Good luck with your fitting. I have my 2nd next Monday!

Yeah, it is a pain. I am probably going to split mine up in different suitcases because I dont want my bag making noises!! lol Definitely cant beat the price!

I got mine from www.amols.com They actually just shipped yesterday!

Believe me when I say this, you are not alone!! I have been in the same boat as you! I work my ass off in terms to working out! I do HIIT cardio(usually form of running) in the mornings then P90x at night. I just started my 2nd month this week. Before that I was doing Insanity & Brazilan butt lift. I am not over weight(which you dont look or sound like either) so when you need to lose 5 pounds its hard as $hit!!!! During the week I eat great. Every 3 hours, mostly protein. Weekends come and I DRINK(big drinkers) and the eating is bad but I still try to watch but its very hard. Then like you said, Mondays felt like I was starting over. BUT the last couple of weekends I sort of kicked myself in the ass. Me and FI are now on track and are trying to help each other & really really trying to be good. I think its also easier because I have less than 2 months. I was always saying to myself, oh I still have time. 3 months....easy. But now I know we leave on April 29th & I will be in a bikini with family and friends, its really motivating me. I will honestly put my bikini on in the house & look in the mirror(almost cry!) and say not much time left! haha Not sure this is healthy for you but believe me time is flying by and I have to do all I can NOW! On the weekends we still go out and drink but I havent been having as much. The key is(to me) its all about how much and portion size, moderation. If we go somewhere and there are fries or whatever(in your case candy) then have a couple and that's it. One or 2 and be done. We went out for wings last weekend & I ate all the celery first then only had 3 wings...I figured 3 is okay and I mostly had celery. Its very hard but you can do it! Just stop eating the candy!! lol Most important thing for you is to get rid of the candy at your house! I think if its not there, you cant eat it! Chew gum or suck on a mint or something! You can do it and I think it will get easier as it gets closer too.

Wow you did an awesome job! They look great! I also used Rebecca for our invites etc. she is fabulous!!

Purples would be pretty too & even some white would work!

I think any color will go. My wedding colors are the same as the dress! lol Pink and orange. My girls dresses are fuschia and their flowers are going to be pink, orange & yellow. I really was looking for bright colors for the tropical look and them to pop in pics. Is that your wedding colors? What color were you thinking? I dont think you can go wrong either way especially with the tropical back-drop!

Great bags, your guests will love them! Thanks for the breakdown on the items since I still need a few things.

Wow what an amazing job you did. Everything looks so great!

great job! I also like the 3rd one the best!

Sorry forgot to mention I also ordered maracas if anyone was interested in them from amols, do it soon. They are on back-order!

2 month mark tomorrow!!! Its fast approaching ladies...planning full steam! Hope everyone's planning is going well. We have settlement on our new house March 30th! So, I feel like I have to order most stuff now because of shipping times when we move...So i figured get most the crap out of the way now. This week I ordered pepto (from another bride) and bottle openers for my bags, my hanger for my dress(etsy), i do sticker(etsy) and 2 vista print orders!! Also had my 1st fitting on Monday. A little disappoint my jewelry didnt match to well...another item to add to the list. Still need to print my welcome books and kit labels, purchase a few more items and the bags but am hoping to do that next week. Happy planning everyone!

Aww so cute!!!

I think the response time is pretty slow normally...I emailed her on the 24th and she got back to me on the 28th. I usually allow 5-7 days before I get annoyed. Just for the fact that 1 they are on relaxed time and 2 she is the only one that has to handle everyone's weddings. Maybe she will respond tomorrow! This thread is also helpful. If you have a specific question you can usually find it here instead of waiting to hear back from the wc. When I email the wc I try to have a list of questions/concerns/selections all at once. That way she isnt getting one or two emails from me a week! Its definitely the hard part of a DW. Good luck and no worries!

Wow great job! Your gusts will love them!

I see your weddings are in April & June. Do you guys think it will be cool enough to even use pashminas? Our wedding is in May and I was going to buy them for my guests but I have a feeling it will be pretty warm at night still. I'm just not sure...

I am pretty sure the Michael Jackson show is on Thursday nights but not sure what time. Our wedding is on Thursday & I was going to try to get seats reserved in the theater for us all but was unsure of the start time too. If I find out I will let you know. stefkva - I hope everything works out with your reservations. Question for you guys - does anyone know how many people they sit at the round tables? I sent N my selections with that question but when she responded she never answered me & wants to know how many centerpieces I need. Kind of hard if I have no idea how many will sit at a table!! UGH!

I didnt want a bridal party either but my FI was the one who actually wanted them! I dont think its crazy at all!! Your photographer (if you are having one) will probably be with you snapping away & possibly your wc right before you walk down. You can have a girl friend or 2 there until you are ready to walk down...no worries! Its your day and certainly not unheard of!

Oh I am soooo jealous!!! We fly out 2 months from tomorrow for our wedding there in May. You will love the resort, it is beautiful! Too bad there isnt a wedding when you will be there but that means you will have Nayeli's full attention lol Cant wait to hear all the details & see your pics!! If you get to try the wedding cake let me know what you like best...I still have to decide on the flavor. Hope ya have a great trip!

They both are so pretty. Beautiful dress too! I love the 1st one but as Tlseege said, the 2nd I feel goes better with your dress. Both are great so either way will still look pretty.

Yay! I was seriously just searching through Etsy for my hanger!!! Which shop did you go with? I am thinking about getting one from LynnClaire.

I have vacationed at Excellence Playa Mujeres twice & we are going back for our third visit for our weddinghoneymoon in May. The resort is absolutely beautiful with all modern rooms & decor. We have been on several other vacations & resorts including Sandals & in my opinion Excellence blows them away. But with that being said I am sure all the resorts you have selected are all amazing! If you have any questions let me know. Good luck & happy planning! Try doing a search for the other resorts your interested in. Here is the link to the EPM resort page with TONS of info. http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/32897/excellence-playa-mujeres-brides-post-here

hmm thats a good idea & ribbon is cheap. That way they can attached it & tie it as tight as they need. Thanks for the suggestion!!! This will most likely be my alternative cause these loops SUCK!! Side not, if anyone is interested I have 30 & will give them to you for free! lol!

That sucks they don't take returns. Maybe you can take the hem out to make them longer?? My FI & the groomsmen are wearing kaki pants which look maybe a little bit lighter then those pants with a pink button down. (Fi is wearing white shirt) he wants them to all to roll the sleeves up & have all the shirts untucked. At first I was like really but then he put it on & it was casual yet still dressy. (their entire outfits are from Express) With that said, I don't think your FIs outfit will be bad at all. Plus the jacket will cover most of the untucked shits! And don't forget their jackets will most likely be coming off right after the ceremony. My FI also wants slip on shoes..he actually wants white boat shoes lol but can't find them.

I hear ya! After I ordered this stuff I got an email from them a half hour later & went back on their site to see if there was anything I could order along with more thank you's lol!! I was so happy all that crap was free & shipping was super cheap! woohoo!! Thanks again for your inspirations!
