I think my problem is that they don't quite meet, the next ones I do (for my wedding) will overlap slightly because I think the sticked on sticker will hold better. Thanks for the Zots tip, I think I will be going to check them out!! I used 8.5 x 11 full page labels and just made my own template and cut them from the full page. I am too obsessive that something will go wrong with vista print and I find the cost of shipping generally is the same or only slightly less than the cost of printing here. I wish I could figure out to make Vistaprint work for me but if I got the order and it was wrong I would just be doing it over and over! I have heard the free address labels from Vista Print work really well on the Aquafina lip chaps from Dollarama you just need 2 for each lip balm, just a thought! Did you notice if they had any bubble baths or shower gels? Our resort has jacuzzis in every room and outdoor jacuzzis with some rooms as well so I would like to include bubbles for the couples!!! These are so awesome, I saw a knock off version at Dollar Tree a few days ago and thought it was so cute, didn't realize it was a Kate Spade knock off!!!

These look incredible, you must be absolutely thrilled!!! What was the cost per invite if you don't mind me asking?!

Jenn I ADORE the wish lanterns, not sure if you have seen The Hangover 2 or Bachelorette (this week) but they both had wish lanterns in them and every time I see them I am like WHERE do i get these!!!!!!!! How do they work? Do they come back down?? I wasn't sure on the details all I knew was that they were beautiful!!! Where did you get yours from? I can't believe how much you have done and your stuff looks amazing btw!!!!

I love the bottle opener, sewing kit and chapstick, that is awesome!!!!! I have been looking for mini sewing kits that wouldn't cost a fortune and these are so cute!!! Can I ask you what shipping was like from littlethingsfavors? As for your First Aid kit, like celtic girl said Dollarama has them for $1.25 and we have a Dollar Giant here that has them for $1, definitely worth checking out!!!!

LOVE #2!!! No go on #1!!

Anyone do their personalized lip balms? I did them for my friends Bachelorette and the labels seem to start to roll up at the edges.... I keep pressing them down and some keep coming up..... just wondering if anyone has any suggestions. If worse comes to worse I will tape them but I think it looks bad!

I love it Leigh!!! SO original!!! eat drink be married COLOURED.docx

Not sure I understand the question.....

Such an amazing deal. We've already booked but wish I had stumbled upon this earlier as we could have used ur FIs aunt!!!!

Gorgeous!!!! I love pronovias gowns, I am leaning towards Galante, similar look to this one!!! Perfect DW dress!!!!!!

You should be able to purchase 1 of each free item and get a total shipping charge. For example 1 free pen, 1 free bag, 1 free shirt etc. If you have signed up for the emails make sure you access each "free" item they offer in the email via the link in the email or else they will be regular price if you just access it from the website. I have heard brides do a free order like mentioned above and just repeat it and only pay the shipping each time. Hope that helps!!!!

Congrats!!!! Everything looked amazing!!! Can I ask wehre you got your sandals and the sandals for your BMs (think they are the same) I LOVE them!!!!!

That is an UNREAL price, we got that on a last minute deal a few years back but I thought it would be next to impossible to get that in advance for our wedding. What resort, tour operator and travel agent did you use?! Just curious!!!!!

Thanks for the website!!! I didn't have this!!!

Thanks Natalie!!! I never saw the little lotions in the middle Thanks for the tip I will definitely check it out!!! Thanks!!!! I thought it was these ones, if I can't find the dollartree ones when I am in the states next weekend I am going to go ahead and order these! Dollarama!!!!!!!! LOOOOVE the free canadian shipping code!!! Great find

Thanks for the swag bag suggestions Tam, never even thought to get the bubble bath for the Swag Bags only for the OOTs but that will be perfect! We are starting with an at home spa party so it fits the theme even!!! Manda which OOT bags did you get? That is an awesome price for them with shipping and duty and LOVE that they arrived via purolator (damn mail strike) I was looking at the canvas looking totes with blue handles (like the dollar tree ones - not sure if you have seen them) they are a great price! Some other things I forgot to mention - 9 pack of individual bubbles (clear bottle) $1 @ Dollarama - Straw mat for the "shoes optional" at our ceremony comes in black purple, pink, green and blue. $1.25 at Dollarama There was more but can't remember right now!!!

Love these, really good size 2 for $1! They come in yellow (lemon) and hot pink (berry) love the idea that you can colour coordinate your hand sanitizer!!!! See the dora ones with the clip at the bottom of the photo - Bargain Shop had them for $.80 NOT DORA just neutral but with the clip. Nice to attach to your beach or OOT bag! Not really for OOTs but I am going to do Swag Bags for my girlfriends surprise bachelorette/shower the end of this month. I will be using the pink and green bags and I have designed a monogram I will print onto stickers and attach to the bags. I am looking for feedback on what we should include in the bag! We want them to be useful/classic things not the penis straw etc. we will have those, just not in the bags. I think my obsession with OOT bags for our wedding and not being able to do them right away led me to wanting to do these for her! I would LOVE to hear what you all think I should put in the bags!!!! DONE!!!!

Vanilla rom spray, they had 2 or 3 other scents as well! I didn't know the bath and body works ones were only $1.25 so I would likely opt for those over these but they are another option!!!! LARGE jute (burlap, think potatoe sack) tote bags for $2 - these are a very very good size, they could easily fit a large beach towel and other items. The inside is waterproof (or resistant at least) 3 pack of citronella candles $2 - nice for balconies at night Found these fun plastic (very light) picture frames, they came in black (translucent for almost a dark grey) and hot pink as well! Found be great for table numbers etc. Some dollarstore travel items - lotion, scrub, lotion ...more still....

So since we don't have an idea of #s yet I can't really start my OOT shopping. Though we have a "rough" idea it doesn't make sense for me to pick up those always available things like kleenex, hand sanitizer etc. until we have exact numbers. I decided to go out today to "price" some things and get a better idea of where we will be per bag. Since the dollar store has become the wedding planning store during this process and I have become addicted to pictures on these forums I thought I would take shots of what I thought would be great finds to share with my fellow Canadian BDW brides!!!! Sorry some of the picture quality is poor... I took them on my cellphone and I was trying to do it on the sly as I figured people would probably think I was nuts! I was considering making my own soaps, bath salts or something like that to include in the bags. When I found these shell soaps I thought I would pick up one pack to check them out! They are actually quite nice, perfect size for the week and stick with the "beach" theme! The picture below this will show the actual soap. only $0.33 EACH!!!!!! (ignore the dents and scuffs on this one, I dropped the soap on the floor) I know some brides were talking about including candles (maybe the $2 bath and body works minis) so you will need matches! I saw this pack of 10 for $1 and you could easily customize by printing a label to cover the "touch" side of the match box! Individual wrapped lens cleaning cloths (good for cameras, sunglasses etc.) 20 for $1 - to the left is the microfibre lens cleaning cloths great for sunglasses to remove water drops from the ocean and pool!!!!! They are $1 each, I think you may be able to find something more inexpensive! Canada Luggage tags and Passport Covers - just saw the sport watches to the right... never thought of it but may be a neat thing to attach to the bag so people can keep track of time! I know I NEVER bring a watch down south with me, a mini alarm clock or something may be nice too depending on your resort! 4 mini hand sanitizers for $1... they are the same size and the mini Bath and Body Works ones for only $0.25 each!! I have been looking high and low for mini bubble baths at a reasonable price. Our resort has indoor jacuzzis in every room and some rooms have outdoor jacuzzis so I think it would be a great addition for our guests if they were able to enjoy a bubble bath! I found these at The Bargain Shop (tbs) 7 of them for $4.50!!! I thought it was a great find, I am thinking of putting our monograms or label over the front of what is here possibly. The bargain shop was a great stop on my adventure, they have travel items and lots of great stuff for a really good price, some stuff even cheaper than the dollar store ....more to come....

Where did you buy your bubba kegs for under $5?! I am very curious!!!! That's a great idea!!! Can I ask what the price was for a 30 pack? I went to bath and body works and all I found was the 5 for $10 items (making the $2 each) still a great deal but a lot of similar stuff I have been able to find for the $1 price point so why spend the extra dollar?! Natalie would you mind posting the body wash and body lotion? I was looking at the small ones but the were $2 each... maybe the prices have gone down?! I might have to go check it out again tomorrow!!!! The room sprays are a great idea and $1.25 is the perfect price!!!!

Natalie - you are so welcome!!! luvmoo - thanks so much! I wasnt sure what it would be like and I hate when I spend all this time on these sites choosing and then when it gets to shipping prices basically double!!!! I am off to check out OT now!!!!

What was shipping like from the two sites? That is one thing I am worried about with online orders!

I believe the Baracazza (sp?) is 50pp includes dinner and your bar?! I may be totally wrong here. Definitely send them an email to see. You could do this in the afternoon and make an excursion out of it with the snorkelling and whatnot. Depending on how many guests and what your resort charges for dinner/drinks/reception this may be a better option. I know it is for another bride I was talking too!!

When you put it that way it is so true!

The strike really does SUCK! I am afraid some of our guests haven't gotten their invites and our deposit date for our trips is fast approaching. I don't think much will get lost but it may be a significant backlog before it gets out to you when they get back to work. Don't sweat the small stuff though, people will understand it is not you and it is the Postal workers!!!!!!
