You already have everything packed?? Wow! I am so impressed! My FI just keeps saying, "how are we ever going to pack all this?!" Lucky for him, he will probably be working out of town right before we leave so it will be me who has to figure out how. To pack everything!! We requested our RSVP for August 15, which is this Friday, and right now I am still waiting for 54 RSVPs! Sheesh!! Our final payments are due August 19.

Got a few more things done this weekend before I was hit with a migraine last night! Finally feeling better this evening! FI chose some nice watches for his groomsmen which I found on beyondtherack.com for a really great price!! Also decided on table numbers, and got the frames for them to go in to! The hardest part of the whole wedding is filling out the paperwork for the hotel..so I started it today! Yay me! Oh yeah, my parents finally booked, but looks like they are staying for two weeks like us....fun honeymoon, lol

I am definitely looking for some cute summer clothes! I just got 5 new bikinis at Victoria's Secret last week, they were 40% off!! I am just gonna get a bunch of end of summe deals though so then I can justify it!! I am usually really cheap and never buy myself new clothes so this is one time I don't feel so guilty!!

Oh man!! I have been trying to get if off the couch to go and then just read the fine print on the michaels coupon and it ended at 1pm!! Uuggghhhh at least his bluejays won.

Congrats @@katiemb!! Can't wait to hear all about it!!

What about flying out of edmonton? Not sure if they have direct flights, but it seems like maybe could be an option?

I need to figure out how much stuff I have first and then sort out how to pack it all! A second bag is only $20 so we will each probably bring one extra. And if we need more, I will get someone else on our flight to take one for us!

We did not want any gifts. But my best friends insisted that I need to have a shower so that is happening and to be honest, I'm pretty excited! I have been to many showers and have planned many showers and been a bridesmaid 7 times. We did a registry just for those who want to buy a gift, but we are not asking or announcing it anywhere.

I bought wood fan handles off amazon and have lots of left over card stock from my save the dates. Found a great template from theknot.com http://wedding.theknot.com/wedding-planning/diy-do-it-yourself-weddings/articles/creative-wedding-program-templates.aspx?page=3 Just waiting for the handles and then I will make them. The handles cost $14 for 100 and the pack of paper I got for 40% off at michaels.

Lol, I am starting to feel the omfg feeling too!! Yesterday I went to Victoria's Secret to try on bathing suits so I could order them online...only to be pleasantly surprised that they were all 40% off!! Yay! So I bought 5! I also bought my shower dress yesterday on Hautelook for $15!! Still have to make the decision on whether to hire someone for hair and makeup and to use an outside DJ. Have heard reat things about Discomovil and they were super quick to respond with great prices. Will have to talk it over with the fiancé this weekend and decide!

Good morning ladies! 78 days until the big day, and only 73 days until we leave!! Good thing I am actually getting things done!! The biggest one is that I ordered a second wedding dress!! It should be here I. Three weeks max! I was really second guessing my first dress as it is mermaid and I just did not want to feel uncomfortable on my big day! I also got my veil. Other things I have done is get paper lanterns for the reception room, paper luminaries and led candles for the tables, tea light candle holders wrapped in twine (bought off kijiji, 75 for $50!), paper straws for the cocktail hour. Last night I ordered the ring bearer pillow, flower girl basket, cake server set, burlap mr mrs sign, wood fan handles(to make fan programs), cake topper and veil weights.Whew! I am on the hunt for wood table numbers. I would like ones that are thick enough to stand on their own and are about 8" tall....apparently this is not easy to find unless I go the etsy route which is too expensive IMO! Waiting for RSVPs still, I made the deadline August 15 and still have about 55 left to receive! Yay! Starting to get so excited!! Hoping to get a little shopping done this week for some summer clothes on sale!! How's everyone else's planning going? Biggest question, how are you going to get everything there? That part scares me! And reminds me that I need to get all of my receipts in order!!

@Lillian84 just look back, I did post pictures of the dress I bought in January. It is from Dressilyme. I would definitely recommend them, I think they did a great job on my dress. But...I did just order a second dress! I was just having a lot of mixed feeling about the dress, I think it is beautiful and really do love it, but the style that it is (slight mermaid) it isn't the most comfortable thing to move around in. I know that most wedding dresses aren't, but I want to feel a little comfy!! I would for sure say to go and try on dresses and get a good feel for what you are looking for before deciding! Will keep everyone posted on how this dress turns out! Even better too is that I am not telling anyone besides my sisters about this dress....so it will be a surprise!

I am going to order my second dress as soon as I hear back from the seller about a few things. This time I am going with DhGate and a seller named idobridal Hoping everything turns out perfectly!! Here's the dress

I actually have a dress from Dressilyme and really like it, but now I am having second thoughts about how heavy it is and the fact that it is a trumpet style and it's hard to sit in! I found a really nice dress by idobridal on dhgate though. So I may just order it as well!!

Has anyone ordered from seller idobridal?

Hi! Congrats!! I would love it if you could send me a few pictures as well!! We will be there in less than 90 days! How many people did you have attend?? Thanks! Candace

That's weird, I will try to post it again!

I got to 150 finally! #2 is beautiful!!

Finally there!

Hey ladies!! How are the wedding plans coming along?? Three months today until the big day!

@@RaynDrop I keep putting them into my basket but haven't actually ordered any yet!! Was going to go shopping for undergarments today but change of plans as my sis is sick. But yesterday my other sister and I did a shoe hunt and finally found shoes to wear!! Who knew it would be so hard to find a cute wedge?! This is what I chose

I am so so close!!!!!

I told everyone I was happy to not have either of these, and just do a girls night out while in destination, but they are insisting. I just don't want people to go to so much trouble for me when they are already coming so far to celebrate with us!

I love the second and third hair styles!!

What kind of suit are you looking for? I found that le chateau had some nice beachy attire. We would have probably bought from there except that my FI is 6'3" and 230lbs so basically nothing fits him there! Same with a lot of all the clothing stores like Banana Republic, Mexx etc....
