    I just want to share a quick review for anyone considering ordering but is nervous (bc I was nervous!) We ordered my FI's suit about a week and a half ago and my fiancé absolutely loves it!! I'm so excited (and relieved!) We ordered the custom sizing. We followed the measurement guide on the website and I measured him myself. I also used tips from this thread to know where to add inches to my measurements bc everyone said they run rather small even when you measure appropriately. The only place that is actually a tad big is the waist but its definitely not overly big. He will wear a belt and be fine! We also really love the color (we went with the glen check grey). My MIL (whose grandmother was a legit Italian seamstress) even said it was very high quality with great detailing and stitching. We were all impressed. My FI wants to buy more suits from them for work! Haha. I'm just so excited and like I said, relieved bc it's such a tough thing to custom order over the Internet!! You just never know... Good luck with yours!!

    You're welcome! I also needed/wanted to stay within a reasonable budget and since I splurged in other areas, I cut back in others. One place I cut back was the actual bag. I know it really nice and popular to give a reusable bag but I I decided to just use a brown Kraft paper bag that I got at Hobby Lobby. A 12 pack was just a couple bucks or so. I'm adding colored tissue paper and cute bag tags and they look adorable. It cut costs significantly compared to buying real bags. If reusable bags are something you want, check out VistaPrint bc for a really decent price you can make it a custom design print on the bag and use a great coupon code combined with a groupon or something. I get stuff through vistaprint all the time for practically free!

    Thanks ladies!!

    Thank you! Yeah cutting off or pulling out the prong might totally work! Thanks for the idea! For place cards I will post a picture later today- but I bought maracas at a great price from amols.com. Then, using raffia, I tied a car that made to the maraca. I designed a card that has the city on it with each persons name and then the back has a poem about shaking the maraca for a kiss. They came out really cute! Ill post a picture later today!

    Absolutely! I found it through the frugal brides thread on the forum. It's a great thread you should check out if you haven't already.

    I got mine for very cheap through a website called specialist ID. You can see how mine came out and I have a link for where to buy here: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/t/84975/my-diy-key-tip-money-holder-with-pics Good luck!

    Haha you crack me up! I definitely do have a pretty legit list. Im on my phone andI don't have it on my phone but I will post a link to it today at some point. I have a very similar corner of "stuff" that I'm looking at saying... Ok stop buying stuff!! Haha. I am definitely not shipping anything bc I have heard its very risky with customs and duty taxes and most importantly time! I've heard it can take anywhere from the normal week to 2 weeks and then I've heard it can out of the blue take more than a month! Can you imagine if you things didn't get there? I'd cry!! I plan to pack wayy before I actually go and weigh every bag to make sure it's not over weight limit. Then rearrange as necessary and if its still too much, just ask friends and family to take a bag or so each as necessary. My hope is that there will be enough people to go around that we won't have to pay a bag fee for anyone to bring an "extra" bag. Hopefully that will work out!! Like I said, Ill get that list posted today at some point.

    I definitely do not want to start a debate about vaccinations but the doctor in me also feels the need to express the alternative side to vaccinations. I am a doctor as well and do not recommend vaccinating. There are plenty of natural ways to keep your immune system up and running at its fullest potential. I especially don't recommend taking an antibiotic if you don't know that you have a bacterial infection. Most likely you would pick up a virus and an antibiotic wont do anything for that. Pick up a good probiotic, drink plenty of water, and get your nervous and immune system working to its fullest potential by getting a chiropractic adjustment before you go. Like I said, totally not trying to start a debate, I just don't personally like the side effects or ingredients in vaccinations and wanted to share an alternative. To each his own and may we all stay healthy and happy and enjoy our vacations safely!

    Neither are required. If you are having a civil ceremony you will do all the paperwork and blood work there. If you are having a symbolic ceremony it's just symbolic so it doesn't matter- you can get married before you leave or when you get back. As far as I know vaccinations aren't required.

    A little bit ago I told ya'll I got some shirts on vista print. I just thought I'd share pics and info. After the fact I read on the vistaprint thread that the shirts run big which is true. I wish I had known before ordering but they really aren't bad. I really just imagine everyone wearing them around the pool, etc anyway so it doesn't really bother me. I washed the shirts and ironed them and even though I followed the was instructions I do feel like the graphic faded a little which is a bummer bc they are gifts and brand new. I washed them bc I am giving them to everyone in Mexico and I want them to wear them right away. Overall, I am very happy with them. I just feel like for the price- you can't complain! Here is a quick pic I snapped with my phone. Sorry it's sideways. Oh an the design is something I created myself.

    I'm just using a brown Kraft paper bag with colored tissue paper and a bag tag. I know it's popular to give really nice bags that are useable throughout the vacation, but I just didn't take that route. I got mine at hobby lobby for a couple bucks per 12 bags.

    Thanks!

  19. MMK0386
    Awesome! I'm so glad I could help you save. It all adds up so quickly so it's nice to save!!

    Oh wow! Thank you so much!! Private message me an we can coordinate what else we can share! I bought organza in purple and silver for the gazebo and I also have purple chair sashes. I know you said you have lanterns. I was going to ask you if I could borrow some but then a friend of ours actually randomly had our colors left over from a party and gave them to us for free!!! I might just see if I can borrow a couple dark purple ones from you. Hmmm... What else could we share?

    My fiancé absolutely loves it!! I'm so excited (and relieved!) We ordered the custom sizing. We followed the measurement guide on the website and I measured him myself. I also used tip from the thread on this forum for studio suits. Everyone said they run rather small even when you measure yourself so I added a couple inches to certain measurements. I will attach a screenshot picture of the girl whose advice I used for the measurements. The only place that is actually a tad big is the waist but its definitely not overly big. He will wear a belt and be fine! We also really love the color and even my MIL (whose grandmother was a legit Italian seamstress) said it was very high quality with great detailing and stitching. We were all impressed. My FI wants to buy more suits from them for work! Haha. I'm just so excited and like I said, relieved bc it's such a tough thing to custom order over the Internet!! You just never know... Good luck with yours!! Let me know what your FI thinks of his!
