Avborges

My Travel agent called me on Friday to let me know that our resort is almost sold out and they never reserved my room upgrade. I am entitled to 2 upgrades which would have given us a 1-bedroom. They are all gone. I am so pissed off.. my choices are: a small suite or a honeymoon suite. You might think a honeymoon suite is awesome but it has a jacuzzi. I honestly don't want my father (or anyone) visiting us in the room and looking at the used jacuzzi. It's embarrassing. Months ago I asked them to confirm the 1-bedroom and I can't believe they dropped the ball. I also don't want a jacuzzi in my wedding pictures. I'm livid that they dropped the ball like that. My guests have better accommodations when we do!! FML

Our wedding is on Saturday. We have a tequila tasting on Thursday, a cocktail party at the beach after the rehearsal on Friday (asking guests to meet us after their have dinner) and brunch on Sunday. I didn't even think of decorations for these events. I think I will leave it as that to keep it simple... I might bring some personalized shot glasses for the tequila tasting but that's it.

Thank you, Ladies.. you are all right! I will continue to use my "sweating for the wedding" to release all the stress. I won't worry about the guests who are up in the air. Yesterday I had a great evening with my mom and she told me: "When you worry about all the things that might go wrong just remember that no one will know or care because they will be in Mexico having a blast!" - Mom knows best! I actually took the time to go back to page 1 of this thread.. we all came a long way! wow... so excited for all of us!

Thank you guys.. of course I want them to come but I just have to get started with other projects. I can't dwell on OOTs forever! We don't have songs picked out yet, we don't have center pieces, flowers, etc.. I am so overwhelmed and this is the last thing I need. Ah! even the ring bearer is thinking about it! lol Also, guests can't book from our website anymore because our group rooms are sold out. Each time they ask for a quote, I need to chase after rates for them. Not cool... this is driving me crazy.. literally.. I have a cold sore, my face tingles (yes! I had an MRI done! All good though).. really, people? Work with the bride for a change! lol

Hey ladies.. I need some serious venting... We have 46 guests booked. My RSVP data was April 1 and so many people have not rsvp'd. The worst part is that I waited until the RSVP to start my OOT bags because I didn't want to buy anything in excess. I have now ordered the bags and started to purchase the items. Suddenly we heard from people who are still "thinking about it" - I mean, almost 20 possible guests! I have two girlfriends who are teachers. I understand their schedule will not be released until end of April but everyone else has no excuse.. I just think they don't realize what it takes to plan this. If I run out of bags, is that ok to explain to them they were ordered a week after the RSVP date and we just didn't know they had plans to join us? Or do I have to go out of my way to make them OOT bags? Anyone going through that??

Girl, I also took advantage of www.weddingchicks.com. I got a credit adjustment for the order I placed right before the big sale and used it to order cute hankies for the parents and bridal party. Also, http://www.beau-coup.com/ is having a 20% sale. Code is bday20. I'm buying hand fans for the women and hankies for the man.

Hi CatGirl! Wow, that's a lot of progress! My turn to freak out.. lol Quick question... What are you including in the survival kit? Also, if you are including any meds, are you bringing them with you? I'm a little worried because I read the authorities are very strict about that..

I ordered my bags on Friday but before I emailed them to ask if any coupons would be available. They said no. Then on Monday I saw the email and I was so upset! I emailed them last night to ask if they would honor the coupon against our order. Let's see what happens.. that would save me $80!

I love it! Thank you so much for suggesting the site. They have a few bags on sale for $100 (sets of 20) and a couple of designs could work for us!

Hi Ladies! Today I have finally started with our OOT bags! FI is being so helpful! Here's mint and lip balm I have ordered. I used the same designed so they will match (will have to buy the mint separately): http://www.pricewisefavors.com/personalized-expressions-collection-silver-mint-tin-favors.html http://www.pricewisefavors.com/wedding-favors-by-theme/beach-wedding-favors/personalized-lip-balm-p-864.html We have 44 guests so I have ordered 55 of each to be safe. I'm looking for ideas for the personalized tote bags. I really like canvas and I will need about 36 (1 per couple and 1 per single traveler). Please let me know what you have used for that. For Mexican Brides: - we wanted to include a small bottle of tequila in the OOT. What would you do: 1) buy it in mexico 2) buy empty bottles in the US, use personalized labels and fill them with tequila in Mexico? - are you bringing tylenol, tums, alka-seltzer, etc for the OOT with you or are you buying it in Mexico. I don't want to "smuggle" drugs into the country and be fined! Any advice on this? Cute idea for mexican brides: -I'm waiting to hear from my WC, but I would like to order Mexican Wedding Cookies and add them to the OOT with a cute wrap. For all brides: - Is anyone including Sudoku or any games in the bags? I can't find them online to buy in bulk. Any suggestions? Other items I am considering: Maps, hand-sanitizer, shot glasses, door hangers, Spanish 101, etc. Thanks everyone!!

Hi ladies, I never thought I would say this but I reading all your posts are making me nervous! I don't have my guest count so I haven't done anything related to OOT. I haven't thought of ceremony details, etc.. my dress will only be ready end of May.. Am I screwed or what?? So much going on here..

I'm on double-digits! 99 days... skeeeeeery!

All the pricing I have is in USD. If you send me an email, I will send you the PDF with 2013 pricing. [email protected]

Yay! I really like the Gisele but I am afraid of being taller than FI. I'm 5'8 and he's 6'2... decisions decisions!! I also found this one and I might have it adorned with left over lace from my veil and some extra bling.. they are really sad on their own! http://www.bridalshoes.com/white-wedding-shoes/touch-ups/madison-682-2803

And I'm a June 15th bride too!! I have been having a hard time with shoes until today! I need wedges in the ivory color. I had passed on this Badgley Mischka shoes I loved but after a closer look I realized they are dyeables! Also, I found them cheaper at 6pm.com. I'm divided between the high heel and the flat.. any suggestions? One is really hot and the other is really comfortable! LOL... http://www.badgleymischka.com/bridal-shoes/gisele http://www.badgleymischka.com/bridal-shoes/zudora

And I found FI's suit at Banana Republic, 35% off!!!

So I had a dream.. one of those... As FI and I arrived in Mexico, I realized I forgot my dress in the trunk of our rental. To make my dream even worst, I didn't have the licence plate of the new rental and NO ONE was able to find the car at JFK's parking lot. So, I got married in the white bath robe. Afff... these weird dreams are becoming way too common..

I'm actually not worried about the heat.. I was warned by my hairdresser at the resort in Mexico to consider an up-do because it's too windy and I would hate to spend my entire ceremony fighting with my hair...

That was my dress too!!! And I skipped it for the same reason!

I will try DSW! Who's your designer? I'm so excited!

Hi Lyman! Plans are going well! We have found our photographers and can't wait for the big day! We are using Amorcito Corazon Studios.
