April 2011 Brides

[Lua]

does anyone know of a cheap place to get 28 lanyards and zippered key card holders????? (with cheap shipping to canada?)  i was thinking of scrapping the idea, but then yesterday actually read a REALLY good review on trip advisor for my resort and he did recommend bringing a lanyard for the key.

[Brandy]

did you look at westcoastlanyards.com

[Lua]

yes... $15 for the lanyards.... $22.36 to ship them!!! being in canada is sucking so much when it comes to sourcing stuff like this!

Erin, I'm glad you finally found something he liked and in the right color.

 

I wish that I could find a check list for a destination wedding. I want to make sure I have all the little things covered but all the lists I find are either focused on local weddings and catering or don't cover all our little shopping lists, like sand ceremony and table cards.

 

For FI & GM, we still need to make a final decision on ties, FI is going shopping with them this weekend for shirt and pants.

 

Both his parents need attire.

 

I need shoes, but am holding off until dress #3 arrives.

 

Need to order BM jewelery.

 

We need vases for sand ceremony, I didn't want the traditional set.

 

I need to make paper cones for rose petals.

 

Need to find paper for programs, waiting for a good card stock sale at Michaels.

 

We need gifts for parents, BM & GM. (suggestions?)

Laura - someone else suggested checking out Acklands Grainger. They are a safety supplies store with locations everywhere. I'm pretty sure they would carry them and will usually let you break open packages. I don't know about pricing though because my company shops there almost everyday, so we usually get a big discount.

[Brandy]

Yeah I think their shipping is pretty high actually, I think they charged me like $12 or something.

[Lua]

oh good call Mocha!  i think my company has even ordered from them before!  i will check out their site right now!

[Brandy]

Hmmmmmm...............

 

I still have to finish my brochures

Thats pretty much all I have come up with

 

I also want to do something nice for my parents and his parents, like either a massage or some type of excursion.

I LOVE the color of FIs shirt.  It actually matches the color I painted the kitchen last fall (yes, our kitchen is orange!).  I'm glad that is done.

 

When I look at all you have to do, I feel like I'm really forgetting stuff.  We are not doing a sand ceremony I guess... I never really thought about it, but I do like the idea... Hmm...

 

My parents also need attire, but I'm so not interested in working on that...which is bad, I know!

 

The gift for my parents is partially done I think...  We upgraded their room at the resort, so they will have a much nicer room!  But I feel I might want to do something else too...  Hmm... 

The gift that I'm doing for the BM, is I had custom bags made for them by a local girl on etsy.  I absolutely LOVE them!  I have also gotten them earrings, some special snacks for their bags, and I paid for 1/2 of their hair & make-up

 

I do not know what FI is doing for the GM....
