It is definitely weird being on the other side after so many years of going to these things!

i think i'm going to be absolutely fine with whatever centerpiece they put together - nice that they make it to match!

ooh, fun - a shower! hope you had a good time and got a lot of good stuff!

i don't think i've mentioned on this forum at all, but i was married before, so with a second wedding, i don't get all the fun stuff like showers and all those good things. that's part of the reason for us keeping this so simple and small. we've both already done the big church wedding thing and now we just get to do a wedding just for us. simple, small, and perfect for just what we want to do!

I e-mailed Carole today, and recieved a response within hours! She says for now she will be my coordinator, but she is training someone in replace of Suzanna who will be working with me with Carole's supervison later on. She asked me to pick my package already to get it on file.

 

She also said the rooms rates for Real will be available later today!

that's great news for all of you 2011 brides. yay!

[FutureMrsYak]

Yes it is! Hopefully she is correct though! My wedding is 9 months away, I would like to get booking! Especially the way it sells out.

Hey Everyone,

On OOT bags, I heard that it is $5 per bag to have them delivered to the room. You can leave them at the front desk the day of arrival at no cost. Not sure if this has changed as this was from Kimberly.

Lady Di,

I have been looking for that etsy link for the personalized bags. I'll post as soon as I find! I ended up going with the canvas ones from theknot.com. They havent arrived yet, but I will let you know how they come out when they do!

What is everyone doing for shoes?? We are doing the barefoot on the beach thing, so I am planning on wearing flat sandals at the reception. I have been looking for sparkly sandals for months now!! Any suggestions?

Here is the etsy link for the page of many different personalized canvas bags- I am doing each couples last name as a beach bag instead of first names....
