RETIRED The Official Good Girls Thread

Those do sound like great favors. IME, people also like a variety they can choose from to make up their own gift & put it in a bag. Candy tables are always a huge hit. If your friend wants to make something, baking a variety of items in large batches to allow the guests to choose from may have been easier. She could have provided boxes instead of bags. I know she isn't up for suggestions at the moment. She may change her mind, when the wedding is a week away & she still has all those brownie mugs to make. If the mugs are nice, that will be a good favor for adults in itself though. Unfortunately, it seems the majority of favors are left. I think candy tables are the only thing I've ever seen wiped out.

I like the freezer idea too. I'll start doing that. The idea of pests of any kind being in there in the first place kind of creeps me out, but I suppose what I don't see won't hurt me. That wouldn't have helped with the cereal though. I don't care, if they are dead. I'm not eating anything that I've seen what looks like worms in.



I've never heard of baked brownies in a jar either. Obviously, I need to get out from under the rock I've been living under.

Yeah, they're much less complicated than we are. I don't know how they put up with us, but I suppose that's not really a mystery either.

Maybe it isn't about the boys with TS. She may just use them to get new song material. Seriously, I don't listen to country music, so I have no idea what her songs are about. She's beautiful, but that's about all I know about her.



I think I'd avoid events she's cooking for.



What are you doing up so early? You should have been up all night partying.



That's sweet of you. Many of their earrings are too big for me too.



I haven't tried it, but I've been eying it in winter white since I first saw it. Post a review, if you decide to order it.



I need to try NY&C jeans then. I haven't shopped there in many years. Do they ever offer FS? The deal you posted for the store was amazing, but I do most of my shopping online. It's good to know VS low cut jeans are more flattering than the Express version. Most Express jeans really aren't flattering on me at all, but I still buy & wear them. We get such good deals there that I hate to pay what I would have to anywhere else.

I'll try to remember to post an update on the e*bates result.

wtf, ebay charges insertion fees for fixed value items if they don't sell?? i did NOT know this!!! ugh, i am just going to delist these bc that's stupid. i totally thought that you only had to pay it once. this is what i get for not reading the fine print.

She already did?! I thought she JUST broke up with the high school Kennedy kid!

anastaciab just said that the brownies in a mug are notorious for exploding. I'm actually hoping for this to happen! Especially the ones I make! My desire for her wedding to go right is starting to wane....I will say I'm just going to bask in the trainwreck. Looks like no one else has responded to her second insane email except for me. If you happen to come across more cheap dress, please do let me know.

I'm glad you like the gold tote! The new one looks like the one attached. Kind of more beach tote like.

Nope! Just upcoming tote in store. I expect it to be online too. See attached Hope the trip is going well!

Hm....I'm not quite sure which she's doing because she's mentioned both The explosions sound terrific. Maybe this will help her rethink what a B! she's being!

Those jar favors look really really cute, but I know she won't go for it. She doesn't accept anything outside of her ideas. It's just that they all look really messy and not very put together at all. She's going for a "rusty but elegant" look and I can see how these fit in. ha! Would be funny if the explosions added a little something to the rustic element. I'm prepared for the wedding from hell!

Really? Is food/candy really what people usually take? Hm....might have to rethink my future favors. I know when I went to a wedding in July, macaroons were the favors and I know a couple of people commented about how sweets suck as favors and sticks to teeth. These would be the same people invited to my future wedding. I was think of using stuff from the sea that represents CA and me. Like sand dollars or something. Easy on my end, bonding time with DBF to go hunt for and it matches with beach theme! Plus some of these people are not local, so it may be useless, but cool!

In that case, if they are going to be left, more for me!

That's lame....so what if you gave someone Express items as gifts and she wanted to take them back to the store. Would they ask her to exchange on the spot, or give her a store credit?

wtf, ebay charges insertion fees for fixed value items if they don't sell?? i did NOT know this!!! ugh, i am just going to delist these bc that's stupid. i totally thought that you only had to pay it once. this is what i get for not reading the fine print.

Awwww. I tend to not use any of the other services provided unless it's absolutely free, otherwise yeah, fees like that creep on to you. I usually pass it to the buyer. I hope you don't get charged for delisting your other items.

exchange on the spot. if you gave the recipient the receipt or tell her to use your phone number so they can look up, she would know you used coupon and who knows what value (before or after coupon) they'll let them exchange it for.

yes. you're charged as soon as you list. good thing about it is your listing is good for 30 days, and you only pay one 50 cents if you have multiples of the same item for sale. they'll have free listing on fixed price sometimes but it's only for up to 10 days.

I didn't know VS Birthday codes don't work on clearance. What the heck am I supposed to buy with this dumb code on the website now? Practically everything is clearance.

i disagree about the high waist pants giving people a defined waist though. my mom does not have a defined waist and she definitely grew up in the era that favored high waist pants. i believe it is genetics that i don't have a defined waist either. we carry our fat in the same place around the midsection. also, i know a lot of people with that body shape who do not wear high waist pants. it is just your body shape - i doubt your clothing choice has much to do with it.

You may be right about genetics, but I think the jeans had something to do with it too. Did your mom wear super tight jeans? We had to lie down on the bed to zip ours. Sometimes, we had to help friends zip theirs, even though they were lying down. I think our formed waistline was aided by the jeans being so tight at the waist. I know none of my nieces have a defined waist. Obviously, they have similar genetics to ours. None of my nephew's wives/girlfriends have a defined waist either. Conversely, all my friends growing up had a defined waist, but weren't related. Naturally, some had more of a defined waist than others, but all had an obvious waistline. That just seems to be more than coincidence to me. We also had really flat stomachs. Our jeans were so tight they must have trained our stomach to be flat. I've noticed even the most toned women don't have a stomach as flat as ours was. Maybe I need to go back to jeans so tight I have to lie down to zip them to get rid of my belly fat. Genetics plays a factor in everything concerning our bodies. I think environment also comes into play. If your mom didn't wear super tight jeans, her waist wouldn't have been cinched in that much. Some people wouldn't have a defined waist no matter what. I think clothing does play a role though. I'd be curious to know how many people who grew up wearing low cut jeans have an obviously defined waist. That would be a good indicator. If there's no connection, it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong. It just seems like there is to me.

exchange on the spot. if you gave the recipient the receipt or tell her to use your phone number so they can look up, she would know you used coupon and who knows what value (before or after coupon) they'll let them exchange it for.
