Hopefully you will find what you are looking for and if not I'm sure what you have is great. Those shirts are awesome. That's one thing I'm sad we are missing. Hopefully I can make some name tags or something so people will know who my "peeps" are. lol When is your jack and jill?

Thanks so much everyone. I can't wait to start putting it all together. That will have to take place after the jack and jill. Just over a week away. After that is over I can get down to some serious business. Lots to do but I'm looking forward to seeing it all come together.

Lydia - that stuff looks great. I can't wait to see what your set up will look like. The countdown is on.......good luck with everything I'm sure it will be beautiful. Travel safe Here is some of the stuff I purchased at Creative bag. I have yet to put lace down the middle of my runners (the last picture is an idea of what I'm hoping they will look like) and yet to decorate my centerpieces. I made my starfish caketoppers. The picture does not do them justice but you will get the idea. Can't wait to put it all together. Hopefully that happens soon.

I actually think that it is a little ridiculous, but I haven't packed yet so we will see, also one of my Bridesmaids and her husband are flying Club as well so there is more weight there if I need it! 7 days unit we leave, and in about an hour only 3 more working days and I will be on holidays! If you don't mind letting me know how you made out with the weight of your bag that would be awesome. I imagine I'll be fine but I should probably stop buying things just to be sure lol Are you already to leave? Besides your packing

We are also flying Sunwing and I was told that we would be upgraded to the Elite Plus section which includes an extra 10kg per person for both me & my fiance. Good luck with everything!! PS. We get married exactly 3 months today! YAY! - April I can't upload my pictures. I think it was user error. I'll try to take more pics tonight and post tomorrow. Definitely check it out. Some of the prices are so good it's hard to leave the stuff there. Hopefully you find something useful. Thanks for your info that's great. Hopefully one of us can post a review with any tips and pointers before you leave. Good luck to you too! Glad you are joining us on this forum. It's the best. JOLENE - I can't believe it's only 7 days away! Good luck with everything. I can't wait to see the pictures! Have a blast and make sure you don't disappear after you are back. Come back to us. lol

Glad you found what you were looking for.

Did you find out about your baggage allowance. I'm waitng to hear back from my TA but I'm thinking because we were upgraded we get two pieces of luggage each (for Matt and I). I just wondered if anyone else was offered this. If I read it correctly you can have 2 bags of a combined weight of 20kg for "regular" passengers. If you were upgraded you get an additional 20kg between the bride and groom... Obviously I'd double check with the TA, but I am 99% certain. Thanks Carina and Kay. That helps a lot. I will wait to see what the TA has to say. I just didn't know if you guys were clear on the policy. Thanks again for the help!

Hey Kay. Here are the colours. You may want to look on line and see if there are more colours there. I feel like they are missing a whole section of colours. Hope this helps.

Thank you Carina. I think that will be the most exciting part. Actually seeing how it all came together the day of for everyone. It will be exciting to check back and see everyones pictures and read their reviews. I know......such a hard decision. I don't EVER want people to feel obligated or bad that they didn't bring one. I'm thinking I might just forget about it.

I'm going to pick it up next week. I can't wait!

Ohhhh one more thing. Are any of you ladies flying sunwing?

Hey girls. I hope everyone had a great weekend. I did end up going to creative bag. I thought it was awesome!! I ended up getting 13 burlap table runners (I'm going to run lace down the middle of the burlap runner), a big roll of burlap (for my centerpieces), chalkboard labels for the mason jars, kraft tags (thank you note for the favours), supplies and a template for the drink flags, 100 grey and pink straws, grey and white bakers twine (to attach thank you tags), a kraft lunch box type thing for Matts "grooms gift", a few gift bags (these are so inexpensive and great for the holidays), a pack of mini clothes pins, 4 packs of tissue paper (making tissue paper balls), a tray I might put out if people bring cards (I don't want to assume people will bring cards....ugh), ohhh and last but not least and on an unrelated note.......Poop bags for Mr. Oakley. All of this for $115. I'm very impressed as decor should be around $250 total. I am going to take a picture of everything tonight and post tomorrow. I know ladies......I'm horrible at posting pics. Kay - They have sand at creative bag. I took a picture of it and will post it later on in the day. Hopefully it works for you. P.S. your princess is sooooo adorable!!! Carina - What a fabulous idea to hand out rum. Good job!! 1derwomanbride - Thanks so much I'll post a picture when I'm all done and have a mock up of the table I love the idea of fans. They have them at creative bag as well but were fairly expensive. You might be able to get them somewhere online much cheaper. Is anyone putting out a card box or something similar? I'm on the fence about this. I also ordered my flowers this weekend. I'm really stressing about this. I really hope that the lady understood my vision! Please keep all of your fingers and toes crossed lol Hope all is well ladies! .

I will attach chalkboard labels and then write each persons name and table number on the label. They will have stripped straws (also at creative bag) and drink flags that say "sip & repeat". The cups aren't in yet but here's the idea. I'll post the real thing when they arrive. Can't wait!!! So cute! Love it! Thank you Carina. I can't wait to see everyones updates and pictures after the wedding. That will be so fun!!
