That is great news!!! Every little bit helps and that is a big difference in cost.

[DanielleNDerek]

$20pp is a great price. good deal

 

Well all of my guests still have to make their final payments but their airfare is all paid for (beside my parents, my mom can't book air till July because of her work - it sucks!!) and everyone has their room deposits down. the resort wouldn't let me hold rooms, so everyone had to book early in order to be guaranteed.

 

Well here's my oot bags. i love them they came out great.

Your bags look fantastic!!! The guests will love them

What do you think?

We found that the bar tenders had no problem rinsing our cups out and I washed them in our room too. We gave out the discount mugs insulated ones. Most of the time I used mine for water. The water bottles in the room were large (2 litres?) so it was lug one of those around or make do with the small resort plastic cups. If you do the plastic cups with stickers they would have to be fairly large and I'd be worried about the stickers coming off when they get wet maybe?

Your bags turned out really cute Danielle. I need to find a place that has cheap mugs that is the last thing I think I will get for my bags. (yah right)

[lucy106]

Danielle your bags look awesome!! That must feel great to have that done!

[CarrieRN]

Your bags look great! I still have to get mine screenprinted. My stepbrother is doing them for a fantastic family discount of $1 per bag. Are you bags from cheap totes.com?

You are lucky that everyone is booked already! That is my biggest frustration since we have some people booked, others saying they are coming, but haven't booked yet and some we haven't heard from at all. It would be nice to have an idea of how much stuff to buy so I can order bags, etc all at once and rather not wait until last minute to do so. We are going to meet with the jewelry designer that made my e-ring tonight so she can make my wedding bands and order FI's band too. One more thing to get off the list, but many more to go!

I will have a band on each side of my e-ring with pave diamonds. My e-ring is really skinny, which is what I wanted and has a millgrain edge so I was having trouble finding rings that matched perfectly. The lady that made my ring was so nice to work with and gave us a great deal so we decided to work with her again. My FI picked out his ring a few weeks ago, but I can't remember exactly what it looks like. I will post a pic once we get it. Here is a pic of my e-ring. Good luck with your back shot! That sounds so painful!
