  1. I hear ya, I have been waiting since the beginning of Dec to hear back to set a date! My resort says that their wedding packages aren't out yet for 2014 though so that's why it's taking so long. Its really frustrating waiting though, so i can empathize. Hope you hear back soon!
  2. Wow!! That is a great price, i'd love to see pics when you get it! Who's the seller?
  3. I'm in the same boat! Would love some ideas on where past brides found their Mantilla veils??
  4. Hi, I tried to send a PM, but it keeps giving me an error. I am interested in the Tylenol pks, but I only need about 50. Would you be willing to sell 50 of them? And if so, what would shipping be to Regina, SK Canada S4N 3C4? Thanks!
  5. You are correct, the Canada stuff has never had free stuff and I have been ordering stuff from them since 2006 when I was running a business. However, you can order from the US site, and I have found the shipping to be exactly the same! I don''t know if they have free offers anymore though, it seems most of the free links that I have don't work anymore. The US site still has better prices thought, so the best way to order nowadays is to buy a Groupon and then order from the US site.
  6. Ugh, honestly I feel your pain...I'm having troubles with my sister too, but that's a whole other story lol! Honestly, I would sit down with your aunt and uncle and tell them how you feel, and how them talking negatively to other family members is making the rest of the family feel. You can go about it in a way that is friendly and not to hurt their feelings. Like just say something like, we appreciate your input, but this is what we have decided to do and we are not changing the plans, and we hope that you can come but if not we will respect that (kinda already what you said to them, but make it clear that this is your decision and it is final). But really, this is your and your FI day, and you should be able to plan it however and whenever you want to. Its fine for people to give their two cents but then they should be polite and respectful, and drop it! Ugh! It really gets my goat when family tries to chime in all the time and tell couples how things should be done... I'm lucky that neither of our families are really like that Good luck!!
  7. Awe, I love your dress, you look beautiful in it!! I looooove all the detail on it! For mine, I haven't taken it in yet, but I'll prob get cups sewn in, hoping that will do the trick!
  8. I too am in university still, and work part time. I have been putting in $100 per cheque into a savings account and I had some in savings before. Also, any extra money I get (GST cheques, tax refund this yr) will go into it as well. I'm sone school at the end of Sept and will hopefully find a full time position right away, so that will give me about 3mths to put some extra towards it.
  9. I have not been to Aruba myself, but I have been to DR a couple of times. The beaches are beautiful and the people are wonderful, however... both times I stayed there (at different resorts) I found the food pretty bland and actually pretty terrible. I think that maybe they just don't cook with a lot of herb and spices, but who knows... it was pretty bad. Also, there are a few types of excursions you can go on but really there isn't a lot to see and do for your guests in DR, IMO. So I guess it depends on whether you want your guests to hang out at the resort most of the time with you or if you want to go somewhere where they will have a lot of options for site-seeing, etc. But again, this is just my (and friends that have been there also) opinion of DR. Good luck choosing!!
  10. hi, thanks so much for the advice! I did order some bigger size 8 beads for around and on top of the foot but also ordered some 12's for around the toes. I think it'll be perfect!
  11. I have told my girls that I would like the dresses to be beachy and in the teal color family, but they can choose whatever style and shade in that color. That may be a good way to still have some guidance but they can still choose a shade and style that works for them. Here's a couple pics to give you an idea:
  12. My budget was $2000. I found "the one", and found out that it was closer to $4000. I ended up finding it for aprox $1800!!
  13. Is there anyway you could arrange to give the itinerary's to the resort to hand to guests as they check in (just the paper), and then give them the bags at the welcome dinner??
  14. I highly recommend Etsy, you can find much better prices than say Michaels or other craft stores. Ebay is also good for scoring deals!
  15. Yay, I finally got to 150 posts! Can't wait to check out some of the templates!!
  16. These look great, good job!!! I'm planning to make a pair for myself, my girls, and both our mom's. I bought all the supplies from etsy and now I'm just waiting till a less busy time to get started. I feel like I'm procrastinating because honestly I'm a little scared of this project, lol! But seeing yours is getting me motivated! lol Thanks for sharing!
