This location was chosen due to my love of Chinese food. It was a great choice. I like the atmosphere (you take the elevator up and enter directly into the restaurant from the elevator), and the service is good. They were able to accommodate our group and we had a very nice time.

I love Tryst. It’s a great club and our host was awesome. If you let them know ahead of time that you have a bachelorette party, they will take care of you!

For our guest who chose to stay on the strip instead of at the JW Marriott, we booked rooms at the Wynn. They loved it, due to the excellent service, décor, and quality. With a wedding group you can get a little better deal than normal.

We rented a party bus and it was a great idea, since some of our guests stayed at the JW Marriott but others stayed on the strip. We went to pick up guests from the strip and enjoyed ourselves and took photos on the way back to the ceremony.

I wanted to do some fancy silk flower centerpieces and make them myself just for fun, and they had everything I needed in one stop – the vases, flowers, ribbons, glitter, and all that. Prices are good but I learned later that they have really good coupons, so that would make the prices even better!

One of the best parts about this place is that it’s not on the strip! When you live in Las Vegas, you don’t necessarily want to get married in a chapel on the strip (well, some people do but I didn’t), so this was perfect. It’s still not too far away from the center of everything, but it’s not by the strip either. Everything was very nice, especially the service.

It pretty much goes without saying that anything at Bellagio is awesome, and their spa/salon is no exception! It’s pricey, of course, but if you are into spas, you can spend a day being pampered here. They do a great job on everything.

Hair Services: Again, this place is awesome and I’d very highly recommend it to anyone who can afford the splurge. You are treated very well and they do a great job, of course.

Save The Dates: Surprisingly cute and much more cost-efficient than several other alternatives. I would recommend at least checking out what they have. I never would have expected to find save-the-dates here. I don’t think save-the-dates are always necessary, but since we had a lot of out of town guests to invite, it was nice to be able to send them out without breaking the bank.

Invitations: As with the save-the-dates, I was pleasantly surprised. Invitations and paper products were not where I wanted to spend tons of money, so it was nice to find invitations here that still looked nice and allowed me to save some money to spend on other things for my wedding. My friend actually took me to look at them because I had never even been to Costco before!

These shows take a while to get through but are worth it for all of the samples and ideas that you come home with. Just don’t drag your husband-to-be like I did, because the odds are that he will be incredibly bored—it’s just not a “guy thing.” (Although if he’s as nice as mine, he’ll still be a good sport about it anyway!)

Believe it or not, I found really cute designer bridesmaid dresses at Dillard’s that were a better deal than at David’s Bridal! The prices were probably about the same as at David’s, but the difference is that my bridesmaids could actually wear their Dillard’s dresses again after my wedding—whereas the dresses at David’s were definitely something they could only wear one time.
