Anyone doing a bachelorette party on the resort/off resort? The boys are doing one for sure. They've planned to do the "free golf" then probably drink on resort in the evening. I need to think of something we could do on a budget or free while they are all golfing. Then in the evening we are doing cocktails and disco probably.

Does anyone know any good places to go looking at table cloths and runners? I know there are some online, but I do like seeing things in to person to get a better sense of fabric and colour. I'm in the GTA. M

Hi Sarah! Where did you get your vases on your "Just Married" table? Also, I see a cake stand ... what is on there?

Hi Girls! Have any of you been to Michael's lately and seen those little starfish (pack of 3) in the discount isle ... $3 I believe. I'm short about 3 packs! M

I'm doing blush tones with little bits of mint! It is literally everywhere this spring!!! Very pretty.

See if DJ Mannia is available in your area. The company is in DR and Mexico for sure. We are paying $900 for DJ services. This guy is suppose to be amazing. It might be worth having a DJ to run your music. You can send him the exact play lists you want ... then he will spice up your evening by MCing and introducing your "dances" and "wedding party entrance". Apparently he is amazing at keeping the party going. He gives a party like no other. Check out his reviews on the forums here for more info!

Sure! They are coming over on Saturday. I will be sure to take some photos and send them to you. Thanks for your positive encouragement

OK, these are so great!!! What was the Etsy seller???

I got the luggage tags as well! Such a great find! I opted for the sleeping masks and the nail files that say relax and restore on them! Thought they were cute!

Thank you!!! No, I just used pictures I saw from Pinterest. Kinda came up with my own design using a combination of ideas. I went to Michaels and bought a bunch of beads. Any strands I didn't use I returned. I used to make my own jewelry all the time so it wasn't too tricky for me, since I knew all of the basics. I think there are website or forums on here that tell you how to DIY. Good luck

These are all great ideas!!! I was once given an engraved compact mirror for a wedding. It was such a great, practical idea!!

Yay I finished these on the weekend (don't mind my toes, need a pedi bad!!!!) So excited. I'm so proud of myself. This is what I'm wearing for the ceremony on the beach. Just need to find sandals for the reception and I am starting to see them pop up everywhere

Anyone know if Canadians can use their costco membership in the states?

I've started a welcome brochure ... although it doesn't have a lot of info on the Majestic Specifically. I've been wanting to make a pre-travel letter .... it is on my to-do list (want this done by the end of Feb). I would love samples of either! I know there are some on here already, but not sure about Majestic Elegance ones. If you get any sent to you let me know. Otherwise I will share mine as soon as I finish!

This does not surprise me! I had to sent out a few threatening emails before I got all of mine back .... and of course some never did show up, jerks!

These look fantastic!!! They are a lot of work, but so worth it. Your guests will be so impressed!!! I love the little carrying handles on the boxes!

THANKS!!! I'm really proud and love doing arts and crafts lol I never had seen anything like this until Pinterest. I've always been a beader so I thought I would give it a go. Maybe I will start an etsy account lol

I am so excited! I finished my barefoot sandals. Eeeek! Now that I know how to do them I am going to help the rest of my girls do them. So fun!!!
