heheh I am so not formal!! But honestly for me, I wouldn't want to wear pants in a tropical location, so I don't feel my fiance should either. I have never doubted he being in shorts, it's more the color of the shirt that drives me mental!!!! But if we were to marry somewhere other than a beach, he would be in pants 100%

My dress was taken out just a bit and it's perfect. As per my last msg above but thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My groom and his men are in shorts themselves so I'm sure those anti-shorts brides would love us haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm laid back. I said basically a nice pair of shorts and shirt or a summer dress. Nothing overly formal (as I am not) and I don't want them to die! I did clearly say 'no swimsuits' Since the whole bridal party is in sandals I defiantly don't mind if everyone else is Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome for you SW girls! I'm a north girl myself I do need to make a trip down south this weekend so gotta make it worth it haha!!!! Need to pack a lunch for the trek jk! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you are marrying in Mexico, I know they love Latin singers -- Pitbull,Enrique, etc. They have some great songs to include. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I agree about Wright Travel. My wedding is under $5000 (not including travel) and it's for 42 people. Definately do able depending on your vision and guest list!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks!! Sounds fantastic. I've opted to have open bar at the beach and/or palapa and not shuttle people. Don't want the hassle of people not making it back, etc Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Did you use the spa? Did they steam your dress? Haha sorry!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You are working hard!! Are you giving sunglasses to everyone? We got our wedding party those colorful ones (remember old school when we were kids?) to do fun photos, but apart of me wished we would have done a mix of fans and sunglasses 'keep cool' 'be cool' idea I saw in another planning thread. Sorry to hear you are having issues with Fed Ex. Generally my issues are with Canada Post doing things like that! Thankfully though you get to see your bouquets tomorrow!!! Look forward to your review about the frustrating review of your wedding bill. I have small nightmares about this myself. While the stress of leaving to Mexico isn't fun, you seem to have yourself jam packed until you fly, which may help you sleep at night!!!! Edit - ps - LOVE the idea of framing wedding photos. I soooo wanted to do this because I lost my mom and wanted to have a tribute to her wherever possible. But..... My dad remarried, Shawn's dad and mom both remarried, and I can't have a whole table of ALLLLL their wedding photos hahahahah!

You must be getting excited!!! Under 2 weeks

Don't have her number in front of me but I'll private PM you after lunch! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

None of mine jammed. I did use a basic envelope first to get the writing placement right (ie upside down or right side up so printing was on the right side of the envelope lol) Also made sure to place it perfect in the printer as I had one print a bit lop sided. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry I have no advice. I just used the envelope feature in WORD and printed them thru my home printer.

$100 off is a $100, better than nothing IMO. At the start we were about $100 less but as time went on and until our flight and resort sold out it was close to $500 less we paid. I also agree go to a TA not just the airline. They can work better deals, etc. Local or not isn't an issue but one who has some experience with destination weddings is a good idea. I'm in AB and mine is in BC. She was great. Being Canadian I don't recommend doing flight and resort separate. We have one guest doing this as they are moving and weren't sure when and it's costing them soooooo much more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Awesome find, IMO, for that resort and 7 nights. Good job!! I also agree, I used a travel agent and I got some great group booking bonuses... She also handled everything for our 40 guests that I wouldn't/couldn't have done on my own!!!

You'd be risking it!!! I just had something from Texas arrive in 1 week exactly, but it was xpress post.

That's a great price from Canadian standards, but how many nights are included?

If you are on your computer you should see a link just below my message here. Or go into the forums and it's under the wedding/engagement section at the top -- than planning journals. Let me know if you find it. It's on going so more pics and such in later pages. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the link! I have a gift card for Victoria's Secret so plan to head there this weekend Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I posted about it in my planning thread but it went great!!! Forgot my sandals so a final hem will be done after next visit but it's such a relief to know the dress fits. So January 3 is final fitting for length and waist adjustment. Pick up January 7!!! I did learn my undies show thru as they are white so that's my new mission this weekend Thanks for thinking about me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can see the lace of mine!!! I think I'll find some seamless nude thongs. And keep these sexier lace ones for after?!? Glad I decided to wear them tonight! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol that really is a horrible picture And my high wasted undies were also a bad idea, not only in color, as I can see the elastic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

PHEW!!!!! Dress fitting a success I go back Jan 3 for a final fitting. She's taking it up more but I forgot my sandals tonight (sigh) so we will firm up the final length and make sure the waist adjustment is perfect and it'll be ready by Jan 7!! She did a ?french? Bustle so it's goes under not on top so it shows the beading. My BM said the picture does it no justice. One thing I need to re-purchase -- underwear!! White under an ivory dress = see it all. Will look for something nude. I had kind of talked myself into it being too small so I started looking at dress alternatives. My advice -- don't do it!!!! While I still love my dress I get the temptation to pick it apart and want a different one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We got 2 packages for free minus the taxes - so flight, transfers to/from airport, and 7 nights at the resort. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Were you able to do this and get perks? I got 2 free trips and an upgrade to first class. Well worth using a travel agent. Things work different in Canada and I assume the OP is Canadian as Sunwing is a Canadian company. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
