have gotten my OOT bags and have a few things that we ordered to put in them, however i am still now looking for a few more things to put in them that is affordable.. Thank you guys above for the ideas about the dollerama... i will have to check that out!! i am still fairly new to this but i will try to post some pictures of my OOT bags and what i have so far! I am pretty excited as i have made Oriental Trading, and littlethingsfavors.com my best friends!! lol

Those are excellent! I have been looking for more things to put in my OOT bags that is affordable. It has been hard finding things like pepto, immodium etc... for cheap from Canada... Thanks for posting the pics!!

Yup!!! 3 bags each, at up to 70 lbs per bag!! That is what was quoted in writing to me.. i know.. it is sooo worth it! i am also doing OOT vbags and bring ing other decorations, so this makes it soo worth it!! I know you mentioned before that you would like to sit with your guests.. but at the same time.. what a nice treat is that!! you and your soon to be hubby.. sitting in executive class with a glass of whatever free alcohol of your choice.. ( it is free in exec class) and the extra room to sit and relax and get giddy and excited!! not to mention.. you could still walk to the back of the plane and visit.. on the flight!! to me.. it is the best of both worlds!! and on top of that.. you should be getting this upgrade for FREE!!!! worth the ophone call to inquire!!

Marlena, We originally found that in the brochure for the air Canada Vacations, and I just inquired with our Travel agent and she confirmed that we do get the free upgrade! I thought about how i would want to sit with all of our guests too, however alot of our guests have also upgraded, as it is only 300.00 to upgrade.. and considering you get 3 bags and you are allowed up to 70lbs per bag .. in executive class, and with regular class you get ONE bag of up to 50 lbs, and you have the option of paying 30.00 for one more bag... To me that alone is worth the upgrade being that i have to carry my luuggage, my dress and all of the decorations! so it is so worth it! i would definatly inquire!!!!

Hi Laurent, I was also having issues contacting the wedding coordinator. I sent in my signed contract and then heard nothing. I had sent in two emails looking for a response and still nothing. So i finally called the resort and asked to speak with Tameica.. Turns out she is no longer working there! So i got her Managers Name and i called several times until i spoke with her. ( i didnt mean to be bridezilla, however i needed to make sure they got my contract and everything was solidified as i have already gotten my invites ordered etc.. ) lol Anyway I spoke with her just last night and everything was good to go and she answered my questions and concerns over the phone. She did tell me that she is the lead for that department right now and they are looking to have a wedding coordinator hired hopefully soon.. but for now she is dealing with it. Her name is Elizabeth Miranda.. she has the same email address and you can also phone the resort and ask to speak to her.. As for the Travelling portion.. I am in Calgary so the prices are different, however i went through AMA Travel and we ended up booking through Air Canada... they were by far the cheapest for group rates.. and also the bride and groom get automatically upgraded to executive class for free!! ( huge perk for us as the extra baggage allowance alone was worth it!!) We looked at Sunquest, Itravel200, Westjet vacations, and Air Canada.. Plus when you went with Sunquest, they stated that the flights were not guaranteed and that schedules could change, however air Canada already has the flight schedule and stated that it will not change. Hope this helps!! Luvmoo( aka Jen) February 23rd, 2012 I am marrying my best friend!! at IBRHB

So I am not too sure who all knows, or who all this will affect, However being that I am getting Married February, 2012 at the IRHB, and it affects me, i figured i would pass this along. I couldn't figure out why Tameica was not retuning my emails ( several weeks) so i decided to phone the resort. Tameica no longer works there! Of course instant panic to me, because although there is still a ton of time, i have a lot of questions, and i am waiting to order some things based on the answers and responses. They gave me the Manager's name and told me we will need to call her for any further information or direction. I just thought i would pass that along to all of those Brides who may not be getting a response. That is why! So If you need to get in touch with someone, call the resort and ask to speak to the Manager ( Her name is Elizabeth Miranda). Hope this helps!!

Oh and I also Love Oriental Trading! i bought some turqoise blue glass seashell tealight holders, a ton of seashells and starfish, for the tables etc.. They will look so nice!! and being that I am in Canada, oriental trading has fairly decent shipping prices which is nice!

Hey Ladies!! I am so excited to see other ladies getting Married in February, 2012 at the IRHB also!! I am booked for February 23, 2012!!!! i am soo excited and from reading this post, i now understand why Tameica has not responded to my emails in the last few weeks!!! Hopefully they find someone else who will answer our emails and such!! My colors are Blue, white and silver.. I have a lot of seashells, starfish and things i will be leaving behind, that i have already purchased for the big day.. that if anyone is getting married after me, they are more than welcome to snag!
