Mnd3A- just noticed in your signature that you have 99 guests coming?! That's incredible! How many people did you invite? I need to find out your secrets!

You're going to have such a fabulous time!!! I hope all your planning details are all tied up and you are just relaxing and enjoying various beauty treatments! You must be so excited right now- I know if it was me I would barely be able to sleep due to the excitement

Thanks for the suggestion ladies! I'm quite jealous of the price you paid for shipping- it's showing as $44 shiping cost for me, which I think is slightly ridiculous!!!

Hi LauraandBrian! I don't think you're sending out your invites too early! I started the design process on mine today and likely I'll be mailing them in July for my February wedding. I'm also trying to track down some decent plain canvas or white cotton totes and found discountmugs.com, orientaltrading.com and cheaptotes.com. Hopefully these work as options for you; I am saddened that I can't order of these websites because either the crazy high shipping fee to Canada or that they don't ship to Canada period. Let me know if you find anything else!

DawnDean! I've found this forum to be extremely helpful in answering all of my questions that have arisen this far in my planning process. Several brides have used Caribe and were quite happy with their photos.

Any recommendations for a good place/website where I can find decent plain canvas totes or white cotton totes at a reasonable price and without crazy shipping fees?

Dazeydawl, you inspired another idea I just had for OOT bag items to help people keep cool. Refreezable ice cubes! Would be useful I think, especially considering it's best to avoid real ice cubes down in Mexico/the Caribbean.

JennyBenz!!!! Good luck and have fun planning! Christined, the incorporation of the peacock feathers into the bouquets and bouts looks fab!!!

Grey's Anatomy- Patrick Dempsey

I am planning on having my reception at the same place! My TA is actually headed to AS next week, and she promised to take a ton of pictures of it for me and gather more info. As soon as she's back I will post her pics!

By googling, I figured out the brand is Gabeifei, and they are made in Hong Kong. Doesn't look like the brand has its own store or website. Probably you'll have to order from the store you saw them in!

Our colours are white and gold/champagne. The logos we had designed have a goldy yellow in them, as it's impossible to use true gold on digital images

So excited to see this thread filling up with more and more 2013 brides! Welcome to all the new B2B's!!!

Congratulations on a stunning wedding and on being married Jodi!!! Your photos are absolutely gorgeous Looked like a very special day that you'll remember forever!

Sophie, congratulations on a beautiful wedding!!! How does it feel to be married? I really hope you create a wedding planning journal

What are you girls' wedding colours/themes?

I vote for the 2nd one! The layout is more clear and "fresh". Nicely done

What an incredible planning thread!!! Thank you so much Joanne for posting all of the details of your wedding planning process! It looked like an absolute amazing and breath taking day full of love and happiness. Your tipping info is greatly appreciated! Congratulations on your marriage and for your little one to-be

Welcome fellow AS bride to be!!! Several months back I started reading this thread from page 1 and now I'm at about 900- I wouldn't suggest doing what I did, but searching through some of the earlier pages will give you some great ideas about what past brides did/thought on their choices. I have booked Dean Sanderson to do our wedding photos. Welcome joan!!! Several weeks back my TA told me that the 2012 promotions were not out yet, and most likely wouldn't be yet for another month or two. Hello there & welcome to the forum!!! Yes, you would have to pay the $800 fee to use Freza at the AS.

Congratulations to both Krysta Lee Ann and canadiangirl!!! So glad to hear you both had an amazing time. Can't wait to hear all about it soon

Make sure to get a prescription for Ciprofloxacin filled before you arrive in Mexico! But only take it if your symptoms persist for >48 hrs or you have an associated fever. Cipro will not affect the birth control pill, so no need to worry. And like others have mentioned, Imodium is a last resort only!

I saw these really neat monogram cufflinks not too long ago.

Thanks for the advice Jessie & Christined! Now I just have to figure out the logistics of transporting our guests back to AS at different times without paying a fortune!
