    Well you've found me now Cinny so stick around and chip in your [STRIKE]tacky[/STRIKE] awesome ideas!

    I was going to de-bridesmaid my bridesmaid tonight but she gibbed on dance class! Gah! Oh well, I've got Mum and SIL coming to Newcastle with me to look for dresses on Sunday, looking forward to it!

    The non bridesmaid is coming across as a somewhat flaky character!

    Well in her defense she'd been at a staff meeting thingy today (teacher on half term) and had to go to bed at 5 because she was too drunk! I'll have to give her a call one night and explain, I'm sure she'll be relieved so she can just tell me for sure that she's not coming.

    Do they even HAVE flamingos in the Dominican??? I'm sure it'll go fine with non-BM, good luck with it!

    I don't think they do.... ah well, silly little details like that mean nothing to my Mum!

    That's why I'll be keeping my tacky ideas to myself, I'm just thinking Hawaiian Luau ideas - like plastic coconut cups and Tiki bowls!

    Oh that's good news Swinstie, I like my tack to be factually correct! :D

    Cinny, I want lots of luau ideas, I really want some super ideas for a photo booth area, I'm kind of thinking like a big post card so people who didn't go can pretend that they did go!

    Oh, forgot to say the other day, my soon to be ex BM was thinking about ideas for her birthday party and wants to do.... a luau theme!!!!!!!! I'm not happy, she said, 'Yeah, but it's not Caribbean....' errrr, they are pretty much one and the same, just that luaus use tiki heads and grass skirts!

    Hmm, I wouldn't be happy about that either Birdie - she must know she's treading on your toes! I wouldn't even consider doing something that was anything like a friend's 'thing', certainly not before them!

    I wouldn't be either! But lets face it, yours will be way better anyways! And if people who are going there are going to your party too knowing where you're getting married and why you're having that theme will most likely think she's copying your idea anyways!

    Oooh, are you going to get some of those grass skirt things for the tables?!
