Your dress looks amazing on you!!!! It is the perfect Dress for you!

 

[BaBeeCee14]

You just have to hope they weren't looking up your skirt

That would be embarrassing! Good thing my dress was so long!

Your dress looks amazing on you!!!! It is the perfect Dress for you!

Thanks Lisa!

 

[Kristen14]

I love the dress Catherine! It's perfect!

On a side note: I didnt have any pain from my dress/crinnie. Although I do have a bit more padding around the middle than Caryn does My crinnie did keep falling down though! The hoop skirt was a life saver because it kept all the scratchy crinnie off me. I dont think you'll have a problem with yours. It doesnt look like you have a lot of boning, or will need a big crinnie.

 

[NloveW/Disney]

Wow! What a beautiful dress! You look absolutely gorgeous in it!

Very gorgeous Catherine!! I love the detailing

Thanks Kristen! I'm not sure what kind of crinnie I'm going to get yet - but I know I'm going to be dyeing it! After seeing how nice yours, Caryn's and Jaclyn's came out - I can't resist

Wow! What a beautiful dress! You look absolutely gorgeous in it!

Thank you!

Thanks Lynn!

Thanks Sandy!

So I was realizing the other day how I'm going to have so much stuff to bring down. Between welcome bags, favors, my dress, 2 weeks worth of clothes...the list just goes on and on.

I read on another thread about this site called Owners Locker. Has anyone ever used them before? Here is the site if you've never heard of it: http://www.ownerslocker.com/

I was thinking about getting one for when we head down to our PS in April. I was going to bring some of the wedding stuff down and just keep them in there until we come back down for the wedding in October. I think it will be easier doing it this way because that will just be less stuff I'll have to pack later. The price ends up being around $200 - between the storage and membership fee. But I'm just not 100% sure if I should get one.

What do you guys think?

These babies are going to be interesting to pack...

 

[Goldeelox9]

Where did you get so many hats??????????

 

[lov2b@disney]

Where did you get so many hats??????????

Interested too

50 hats! Crazy right? My sister was in the college program this past semester and she picked them up for me. I'm going to have the names embroidered on them. They're going double as my favors and place cards.

 

[Goldeelox9]

What a great Idea!!!!

 

[MsTinkerChele]

Cough:::: 40 percent off::::

Cat:
I still have the picture in my phone for proof i bought them because you wouldnt stop harrassing me.

 

[caryndisneydiva]

personally i wouldn't trust leaving any of my stuff down there, you never know what could happen...i would just ship it to my hotel or my planner. i shipped 2 HUGE boxes to my sister and i should have shipped more. you could probably even do it for cheaper than $200.

edit: those hats are great! the cm discount is a great idea...we should all pay some poor broke cp a commission to buy our favors for us at a discount...

Owners locker is really for timeshare people who don't want to lug stuff back and forth on trips(laundry detergent, duvets, pillows, full size bottles of shampoo, flip flops, beach towels,and crock pots ). It was beta tested last year on a bunch of DVC people. Most love it, but I can't see the benefit for the way we use our DVC points. I ship a box of stuff to DVC pre-trip(cereal, sunscreen, snacks, coffee etc) via USPS priority mail and the box is always waiting for me at the front desk when I check in.

 

[Kristen14]

I know exactly what you mean Catherine... my little Hummer was completely PACKED with stuff. We had to make 2 trips... one in December when we brought all our centerpieces, and then when we actually went up for our wedding.

 

[mermaidbride1108]

I had considered Owners locker too. But I was afraid to leave stuff there in the event I need it here to match something or if something happens (since stuff would be there for like 6 months) I'll lose alot of my wedding stuff and then not know until the wedding time!

But I did consider it!

You know the only way to get you to do things is to harass you

I know what you mean about being afraid to leave things there. I thought about that too, which is why I wasn't planning on leaving anything valuable. I was just going to leave toiletries that I would be using for the April and October trips that I can also bring with me when we go on our Disney cruise.
The problem with shipping boxes - I'm so afraid they will get lost in the mail . Which is also why I'm afraid to ship my dress to Carolyn Allens. I'm just paranoid like that. At least with the Owners Locker - I'll know that I brought it there.

I love the CM discount idea! It would benefit everyone!

How soon in advance do you ship your boxes? If I'm staying at AKL, can I still ship boxes there?

We actually thought about driving down there - but I really can't stand the 18 hour drive . Flying is so much faster. Whe you brought your stuff down to in December, where was it stored? Did they make you pay some sort of storaging fee?

I was just thinking to use it for things I knew I would need and didn't want to carry back and forth. Mostly toiletries and clothes. The only wedding related thing I was going to leave in there were the kids welcome bags, which are all done and really didn't feel like having them sit in my house anymore. I'm still thinking about it - but I might just ship it to the hotel directly like Caryn recommended.

Up until this point we hadn't really had any issues about who was invited and who wasn't. Yesterday DF got an email from one his aunts saying that she wanted to confirm that we were going to accomodate her and her family at our wedding. It was really weird because we are not close with her at all. Out of the 7 years that I have been with DF, I have maybe seen her a handful of times. I don't even think she knows what my name is.

DF was annoyed that she emailed him about that because it put him in a really awkward and uncomfortable position, which I totally don't blame him for. Anyway, he ended up emailing her back saying that we are having a really small wedding down in Florida but we will be having another reception when we come home.

I just don't like how people assume that you are automatically invited to someones wedding. I mean especially when you haven't received any information in the mail regarding the wedding. No save the date, newsletter -nothing. Anyway, sorry about the mini rant

We only had to pack 35 of those babies, but we just nested them together (alphabetically ) in a box with all our reception and ceremony items and sent them to ourselves at the hotel. It was soooooo easy. I think the box cost less than $20 to FedEx from California....

Oh, and I shipped my dress to Carolyn Allen for $19. I am a huge fan of shipping!HTH!
