Yup all included, phew!!!!

@@linaco80 I got badge holders and loops. From amazon and the dollar store respectively. After all said and done about $30. Then I have to make inserts. If I can settle on a single design I may use vistaprint. I'm leaning to use travel quotes and the like so people can use them over and over and they aren't plastered with our wedding info. But a tropical scene is also so pretty! I just realized I have a few guests who booked alone too so this will be nice for them too.

Extras we planned. Our wed pics info etc. At the end of the day it doesn't matter who the luggage tag comes from but I love the idea from us as it's another to say thank you and make them feel appreciated for spending their time and money. I have guests spending more than $6000 I used a TA once and only got my ticket hand delivered Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh of course. Everyone needs their travel info. I never doubted that would go out. I just didn't realize she would send luggage tags so I got some!! She never offered to send mind -- It was a good gesture on her part, she said she now needs to come up with another idea. It's funny that she wants to give us a gift when I have been seeking out a gift to send her. A part of me feels bad I took her idea, I guess she could still send hers. But I think she appreciates the fact I want to do this for my guests.

What would I do without your smart mouth. Describes perfectly. I have one smart mouth how could we use anything else lmao Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They could have a handkerchief in their pockets of your wedding color? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@@Lilian84 ....Orrrrr you could exchange the night before but open the day of for a sweet surprise and great photo opp. Hehe thanks Have you seen the 'I can't keep calm I'm getting married' shirt? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh after the drama that surrounded our BP size my fiancé will find another GM if his cousin backs out/we cancel Him (in other thread!) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

To be honest, only my BP, my ring bearer and flower girl, and my dad are having any sort of flower. Maybe this is a new thread topic, but I am not buying anyone corsages and the like. I don't know? I feel like 'where does it end?' If we get my fiance's mom one, then he has to get his dad one -- but what about his step wife because that's fiance's step mom. And wow, makes my head spin. So as I had originally thought noone would get flowers, I am happy with just the actual BP itself.

@@MJTK Yes I like the idea of the men meeting the women! I don't want them to close as I don't want them to see me before my fiance! I know our location has a treed entrance which provides privacy! If it is really important to you then you could have a discussion about it, but if you don't mind either way then I guess the men are at the alter! I would just assume my fiances mom will be seated with everyone else. Hadn't thought much about this.

I came up with another 'gag' gift and I think I am going to go thru with it. I was telling another member about my idea... my nerdy fiance always (I mean always) calls himself a ninja. So I found a KCCO type shirt... Keep calm cos I'm a ninja. He loves dorky shirts, so this will be right up his alley. Question going in another direction -- I thought you gave the gifts on your wedding day, but fiance thinks we should do them together the day after. HMMM I kind of gave my strong opinion I'd like to do it the day of and he was concerned how gifts would be exchanged so I told him his mom could do it, lol, thoughts????

What's with weddings .... they are supposed to be happy but everyone has that irritating/sad/annoying/frustrating story to tell. At the end of the day for me, I won't chase someone to be my friend, so she probably wasn't as good of a friend as I thought.

I have only been to two weddings (one was in highschool and one I was a BM).... When I was the BM I walked solo and all the men were already at the alter. This isn't how I see my wedding. I want the groomsmen to walk with the bridesmaids. The plan I see in my head is that all the men will show up and they will be ushers to seat everyone. When we show up my fiance can stand at the gazebo (hehe) and the men can come up to meet the ladies and walk together. Then my flower girl and ring bearer can walk down, then me and my dad! That's what I picture!

I agree with @@Lilian84 I wasn't going to have a bridal shower because I felt that it was in poor taste to invite people I didn't invite to my wedding, but what I have found is that more people would be OFFENDED if I didn't invite them. So I plan to do it - and honestly I don't really want gifts anyways - so may just have a random party with a random name I select at a random time LOL! If you think you would have invited them to the wedding and/or reception should it have been in your town, then I would invite them.

It's frustrating but there is only so much you can do. Maybe your fiance can have a hear to heart with him or you will just need to wait until the deadline to know forsure? My fiance is dealing with a similar issue. One of his groomsmen actually lives in Mexico (lucky fella is a Canadian but works from home in Mexico). All was good for awhile, then he got more distant. My fiance asked if he would be staying on the resort for the week, gave all the TA info to get into the resort and nothing... won't even return an email. Fiance finally asked him if he was going to still be a part of the wedding because they have outfits to buy (fiance would have to get his here in Canada to match them, needs sizes, etc.) and nothing... won't respond. Fiance picked a deadline and after that he will tell him he had to choose someone else. Sucks and hope it doesn't come to that, but it's also highly rude to completely ignore him when you have already committed to being in it. It's one thing if you just politely back out, but the ignore him -- repeatedly? Anyways sorry got on a rant there. It's the name of the game, unfortunately, but I guess I felt the people who agreed to stand up for you would be the most certain they would go.

I went nuts Saturday haha. I wanted 150 so bad. I just posted my dress in there. I learned how to post to the threads Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

All great ideas. I got mine on Etsy. I'm Canadian and I found a Canadian dealer Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Fantastic idea... wish when I looked I could find them in hot pink -- never thought of Etsy!

I like the bags or the boxes. Wasn't sure if it was just magnets on the one or you would give them the 'board' too and that would take up a lot of space to bring with you.

I cut my head off cause I looked silly!

That is a nice idea!!! If you can incorporate something, but don't mind if it is physically on him, you could do the bouquet picture frame charms. I got one and put my mother's photo in it - I lost her 10 years ago. I have considered also putting a picture of her on the signing table - which is something else you ladies could consider. I'll post a picture in a second of my charm.

And, if you put it in your checked baggage you may take the risk of your luggage getting lost. (nevermind you'd still bring it in carry on!!!) Also, it sounds like a good idea in theory, but to risk your wedding dress? I am not brave enough. I'd rather iron and/or steam it when I get there.... from being shoved in an overhead bin! My fiance keeps saying he was told to roll it up over a large object to help it from wrinkling.. who knows!

@@MissJen3 Go nuts and reply to everything... it'd divine to see everything.

Congrats! After I decided on a resort (between wedding packages from the resort and pricing thru the airlines), I then made sure they had availability for the wedding date I wanted -- when they said yes and I booked it, we then proceeded to book our travel packages. Then I sent out invites. Now I am doing all the fun stuff. (invites, wedding website, colors, bridal party, favors, decor, extras, photography, phew!)

Sure am, can't wait!!! (I have never really loved my last name and have always been eager to change it) Remember when we were younger and we would date a boy and practice our signatures... ok I am not the only one, I know it LOL!!! I guess now I can practice for real! I am a nurse and sign my name a lot, will need a long and short one!

We booked in May and sent out our invites at the same time. Since we did it all really quick, we didn't really have time for save the dates. Deposit deadline just passed and final payment is due in October.
