Lol, sorry that was my fault! I took it from a post a couple pages back and didn't even think about it. My bad. And thanks for fixing it!

SUZY - APRIL 29, 2010!!!!!!!!!!
and, I am the LAST of the Red HOT April Brides!

[taratoons]

Hey ladies! Love the list idea, totally puts things in perspective! Thanks for adding me, but my wedding date is actually April 12th, not 10th, and since I'm technologically impaired, if someone could change that for me, I'd appreciate it greatly! :0)

 

So all this talk of weight loss and working out, how is everyone feeling about their wedding bodies? Feeling ready? I've been trying to find the motivation/energy to get in better shape, but it's so HARD! I'm a total couch potato, and we have a nurse at work that makes a different type of cookie every week. So the temptation is just too great! Has anyone tried the Jillian Michaels DVDs? We have the Shred and No More Trouble Zones. INTENSE!!!!

I’m getting so excited now! I had my first dress fitting on Saturday. The FI and I also signed and mailed off our Florida Marriage license paperwork on Saturday.

 

I have just about everything I need to start assembling my OOT Bags and Wedding Favor Bags. I just need to stop buying stuff! It was like Christmas when I came home today because I had three packages waiting for me. I just couldn’t wait until I got everything assembled before I shared pics with you ladies.

 

If you remember, I am having a cruise wedding out of the Port of Miami before the ship sails on a 7-day cruise. So, some of our guests will be cruising with us (sailing guests) and some will just be attending the ceremony and reception, but not cruising (non-sailing guests). All of our guests will be getting a Wedding Favor Bag. Only the sailing guests will be getting an OOT Bag.

 

This is the OOT Bag I ordered from VistaPrint. I wish the font would have come out larger, but oh well, it will work. Each single person will get one bag and each couple will get one bag (but with more items than the single’s bags).

 

 

Pic of most of the stuff that will go in the OOT bag. I only have ten OOT bags to make. I ordered Welcome note cards from vistaprint to include in the bags. I tried to think of everything that would come in handy during a week-long cruise since I have been on two so far myself. This is the list I came up with: travel mug, sewing kit, earplugs, bath & body works room spray, pepto tabs, advil, Tide liquid (one load packet), shout wipes, Dramamine (motion sickness pills), bandaids, antiseptic wipes, hydrocortisone cream, hand sanitizer wipes, waterproof ID pouch (for use at the pool and beach), lanyard/id holder (to use while on the ship), ink pen, and post-it notes. I’ve ordered the waterproof stickers (window decal) from VistaPrint to personalize the mugs, but I have not received them yet. I also plan to put the meds, sanitizer wipes, and stuff like that in a “survival kit†bag. I still have to create the labels and everything for that. So, I have more work to do.

 

 

This is most of the stuff for the Wedding Favor Bags. I have about 50 to assemble. Shown below is personalized deck of playing cards, thank you note card from VistaPrint, Cruise ship bag tag, and silver organza bag to hold favors. Not shown is the sand and shell bottle wedding favor that I have not received in the mail yet.

 

 

This is the sand & shell bottle I ordered. They will come with clear stickers with our names and wedding date.

 

 

I plan to modify them to look something like this souvenir I got in Cocoa Beach, Florida several years ago. I will not be putting anything on the top of my bottles. I’ve ordered sand dollars to glue to the bottom instead of the starfish shown in this picture (the sand dollars were cheaper). I haven’t received the sand dollars in the mail yet either.

 

 

Sorry for the long post, I just had to share! I will post pictures of the final products when I get everything assembled. Yay!

Haha, someone cut me off the list, so I'll just re post it.

I'll be honest,I went back because I forgot a few names,and I thought it'd be nice to see who's getting married first,

We'll be appreciating all the good vibes from the brides towards the end, and we'll be able to do the same from the earlier girls!! Sooo darn excited to see everyone's pics.
