Hi Mizpriya..... Well at first my idea was to hand them out a few days before we depart. Since everyone will be in Florida before departure, simply because I didn't want to carry it all to Dominican Republic. Yet my mom didn't agree. She says they are OOT bags, made for Out of Town guest - themed towards our destination, it would be a nice gift to give to everyone once we arrive in Dominican Republic. So my first hours at the resort, I will be reassembling bags and then handing them out that evening. Hope that helps!

I am serious in awe that you got FI to do some actual wedding duty....that right there got you a pass (*I still want to see pics though

I am impressed that you got FI to package them, that right there got you off the hook!!!! LMAO - (still want to see pics though)

We have personalized shot glasses, M&M's and I have also made custom stemless wine glasses for the ladies and beer pilsners for the guys.

So I have seen no pictures of these marvelous creations you have printed out.....

That's wonderful. Glad you can still have your wedding date 11-11-11!! Happy for you

No I am not nervous, no gitters, no anxiety. I am just truly ready for a vacation. Did you guys want the other shirts also besides the groomsman?

Well that truly sucks. An allergy caused this cold that I am dealing with. Glad to hear everything turned out for the positive!

Hey lady!!! Yes the real countdown, we leave Tuesday evening, so less than 7 days....It's the last day of this cold, so I should be all good by this weekend. Packing now!!!

So sounds like a message I would have sent....I would go into more details about your post but I will leave that to our email chats!!! Have a wonderful day!

Thank you ladies...so I have been doped up on DayQuil/NiteQuil & Benadryl. I am home again today, I think it is almost over but ugh how I truly hate this feeling!!! Thanks brendee...did the FI okay the shirts? Thanks MJKH - I wasn't even looking for those, were really leaning towards Nina Bridal & then I saw the bow!

....... *pouting about jewelry - I'll leave the rest to the email*

Don't do - yet like the idea (take that back did do it once on the beach!!!) Gummy bears

Thanks Praye, Please let me know when you get the sand, just to ensure that it made it to it's destination.

I hope I feel better also. I hate having head colds and we have somewhere to go tomorrow, not fun!!!! Yet, I am happy that everything is done, so it's on to packing.

And that's all I have....Next week I will be in Miami en route to Dominican Republic. If I can be of any help to anybody, do not hesitate!!!!

And lastly, I never posted the contents of my OOT bags : I boxed up my flowers this weekend, after making my bunches for my table centerpieces and mailed them to my Papa in Miami.....also created tags for my blumeboxes

All glasses are personalized just because I want my guest to feel special, they have made the trip the least I can do is give them a grand THANK YOU!!! So then, I burned 15 CDs and created the labels and matching CD book - these coordinate with the passports I just sent out.

Hello ladies!!! So I am home sick - I have 6 days to get better plus we are going to a concert tomorrow night in D.C. Hope I fair well. Yet since I am indeed home, after resting most of the day away (just getting out of bed at 2), I thought I might as well do my finish touches. So I have completely finished my glasses and burned all of my cds. I have created labels and cd holders, just need to get some labels because the one's I have do not work. Outside of that, it is time to pack up. I have ordered my wedding jewelry, should be here tomorrow. Just consistently stumble across the 'right' things, the earrings and bracelet are Kate Spade's All Wrapped up line: I think they are quite perfect. Here are my glasses, I made 10 ladies and 7 gents This is my glass & it says Mrs. Coley on the back.

Yep, that's about right. I do have an email with the additional linens, they are $30 a piece to rent.

Well we didn't have a wedding and what girl doesn't want to look absolutely drop dead stunning for one day. I always knew I wanted to wear the big ball gown, no matter where I was, rather it be state side or a DW. We didn't have a wedding because it was just not in our budget, so I planned a wedding date far enough out so that it could be obtainable. We aren't trying to "trick" our guest in thinking it is a legal ceremony, they all know that we have been married for close to 2 years, I just really really REALLY wanted a wedding. So it is still my big day without the legal headaches (which makes my ceremony just a little bit cheaper, LOL) As for my dress, it kind of fell into my lap and the guy who made it I went to high school with his daughter, so he was the perfect person for the dress. I like it because I don't have to change clothes, just remove the ball from it and it is indeed short & spunky and ready to party, LOL. He made his daughter's gown and her's transformed into a cute short set, underneath her gown was shorts, so she just removed the skirt.

When are you looking to order? If you are planning for things to arrive after November 17th - I will help you out!

Thanks Praye - mailed sand off Monday (yesterday) should receive it Wednesday or Thursday the latest.

Wow Alana, that gown is absolutely stunning!!!

It's alright....still working. I will be excited when I can say bye, see y'all in 2 weeks (BIOTCHES!!!) - delirium, kicks in often.
