  1. you might find persimmon to be more of what you're looking for. Everything i see in coral is either way pink or orange as well.
  2. I've thought about the same thing, but don't wanna go with the throw away bags because for $1 for a canvas tote, you really can't beat it. I think i'm going to go with a stamp design for something beachy or mexico related instead of the personalized monogram or our names.
  3. I like the idea sending the thank you and reminder for final payment after the invitation that way they've already put the invitation on the fridge but probably need another reminder closer to the due date.
  4. people that cannot make it to the wedding are definitely looking forward to the shower, I'm assuming we'll have one...
  5. Wow, this video makes me want to cry and its someone else's wedding, I can't imagine my own!! I may consider this... Did you use them as your photographer as well?
  6. I'd do it too, even if the return policy wasn't that great, you could always sell it
  7. Thanks for posting! I have a nordstrom near me and I will check these out when the time comes.
  8. This is such a great thing to consider, thanks for bringing this up!!! I will have to keep this in mind! If you happen to find any shirts that are ivory, let everyone know!
  9. I wore this dress in gray as a bridesmaid dress and absolutely loved the style and feel and already know my size so i'm ordering this in white or ivory as my reception dress! I love chiffon! http://www.billlevkoff.com/style/bridesmaid-dress/105
  10. And i'll take one more! LOL : )
  11. 17 day diet (book on Amazon) helped me lost 60 lbs in 8 months, its all about cutting out the crap, then slowly adding good starches back into your diet and learning what's good and when to eat it to help maintain a healthy lifestyle after the 17 day cycles. Adding fruits, yogurts, eggs, certain seafood, etc. Highly recommend it! Have maintained my loss for about 6 months so far including three vacations (and one of them being a cruise)! Good luck ladies!
  12. Agreed, and I also will add that although a brisk walk may make you feel like you're losing and making a difference, unless its a few miles, you're likely only buring a hundred or so calories. I walk my dogs with my calorie counter heart rate monitor (and also wear it at the gym during the week) and walking briskly is about 100 cals a mile.
  13. I feel like I'm scouring the posts just so I can have a comment or reply to make it to 150, almost 1/3 there!
  14. I agree, a little bit depressing, but better to have read to expect certain things than have to deal with them as a surprise. People put things off, and it sucks! Am I the only person who plans ahead for something that has a deadline, sheesh!
  15. I should also note that we'll be also working with a Lomas coordinator on site when we get to the resort. I've already sent them a couple of my choices for events, dinner, etc. so we'll actually have two coordinators (one at home and one one site) for free!
  16. Love Love Love DestinationWeddings.com, we have Sally who is based out of Jersey (we're in MD) and we talk ALL of the time!! She's fantastic and some of my guests have been calling her to ask questions or change certain things and she's super helpful. It's a $50 signup fee but once you book, it goes straight toward your reservation. We checked out a Karisma resort webinar through them and because we ended up booking one of the Karisma properties (El Dorado Royale), they gave us a free upgrade (worth $1000!) Seems too good to be true, but it isn't and if you have questions, feel free to ask!
  17. Allie, what did everyone do about the time, did people use their phones, were their clocks? I'm remembering when I was on a cruise, it was so important to always have a watch since we couldn't use our phones. Did you and your guests have this issue or did you use your phone? Also, while I'm asking, is there WiFi that you connected to? Just curious...
