Jessyg20's VERY LONG & DETAILED Planning Thread

I have a few questions for you if you don't mind!

1. Where did you find your MOH and BM's dresses? They are beautiful!

Thanks! I got them from David's Bridal. They were cute and simple. The color was pool.

2. Where did you get your wedding invitations? Did you make them? If so, do you have a template? They are exactly what I am looking for! If you made them, can you tell me what types of paper you used? I'm not the most crafty person! lol

That was one craft I did not want to take upon myself. Especially since I needed 150 of them. I used a local Miami Vendor called Elegant creations. They are not cheap but the quality was amazing.

3. Where did you purchase the mugs? I was going to do water bottles with our logo, but I think it will be better to do those mugs.

The mugs worked out perfectly! Actually, we had a dedicated bartender at the Resort's main pool that would do funny acrobatic stuff with them. These cups where a hit and easy to transport, because they were lightweight and plastic! I added a bag of homemade chocolate chip/oatmeal cookies from a friend that bakes these for a living. What a hit!

I got them from ebay. I paid $129 (including shipping)for 100 personalized mugs. This company was great!eBay Store - Factory 21 Promotional Items: Shot Glasses, Pub Glasses, Tumblers

4. Where did you get the cameras? What does the little tag that is attached to them say?

The weddingchannel.com had a special promotion on these cameras. So jumped on them! I did a mini scavenger hunt tag for each camera. I printed and stuck it on with self laminating paper to the back. The lable had the table names and what pictures they should try to take. Let me tell you, this worked out because at the end of the night out of 18 cameras (2 per table) I only had 1 missing and I knew the table/people that kept it, so I called them out on it (actually my bridal party did) and we got it back! Some people don't understand these are not favors for them but memories for the bride and groom.

5. I noticed you put your logo tags/stickers on just about everything. I have a logo we will use, but I'm not sure where to get the tags printed. Did you do it yourself or did you use a printing company?

The best thing I did, money saver, and time saver, was have my monogram printed from vista print as a business card. My monogram on card stock allowed me to use it everywhere. I would just cut it out with a punch. 250 of your monogram on card stock is not cheap, but on vista print, its $4-5.

Ok, I think that's all for now! haha I can't wait to see the final pics! I'm sure when I post all of my final stuff, you will see a lot ideas that came from you! Thanks so much!!!!
