I will. My sister and I are working on them this weekend. I still need to crop 150 invitations x 6 pages long x 2 corners on each one! My hand is sore and I only did like 75 in the last 2 days. Then we have to make the envelopes. So I am not going to be posting until done, but don't you worry your pretty little heads, you KNOW I will post!

Since there are alot of great people already nominated, I will add some new ones... Mrs - Kash, cuz she is finally back on the forum and active. BTB - Betsy, cuz she deserves some happiness in her life right now.

I couldn't agree with everything said any more. I also, LOVE the siggies! I love this forum and I think we are all nice supportive people. I hope she does check back in to see that that is the truth.

Well I decided to stick with it. It isn't the right blue, but it doesnt look bad with the envelopes and I don't think it would be worth the drama, and like you all said, no one but me will even know it's not right! Thanks for the support, as always!

I am having trouble finding a place that will atke my dog. She used to fight one of my mom's dogs all the time, so I have to say that and no place will board an aggressive dog. I will not lie about it, b/c I want people to be aware that she occasionally doesn't like other dogs. Usually it's when I am around, she is pretective, but either way, I want people to be aware. I have NO clue what to do with her for 9 days!

Here are my ceremony shoes, but most likely, if the sand isn't burning, I will be barefoot: And here are my reception shoes

Kinko's was charging me $5xx, I think it was close to $600. And it was to print it and the paper. But they told me they wouldn't print on paper that I brought in, even though I have heard of others bringing their own. There is a girl on here who brought in her own paper, but they charged her the same amount. I was having 300 pages printed, one sided, in color. Hope that helps!

I had someone turn mine into a .pdf. I think that is the best way to go about it. If you use a word doc, for some reason, sometimes it appears differently on different computers. Plus if you've used special fonts that aren't on the printing companies computers, it won't print the way you want it to. Luckily I had a friend who helped me in the beginning with the /pdf part and then MelissaH helped me over the weekend when my friend couldn't...

I totally hear you. I think I will leave it as long as it isn't hideous, since I have to get to work getting the darn things together and mailed PRONTO!

Yeah, Jac - there is a 40% off coupon in the paper each week for Michaels and Joann's... Make sure to check it out first.

I am going to see how it looks tonight. The one color was going to match perfectly to the metallic envelopes I bought. But I wonder how much that matters. I mean, just about any blue matches any other blue. And I have been pretty lax (sp?) about having the things be matchy-matchy as well. It's just damn frustrating.

So Matt's friends fiance used to work at a printing company, she got me a really great deal to print, cut, perforate and staple my boarding passes. After having them print out a sample and seeing that the colors were wrong, I then sent them two more sample files to see which color was right. I saw the samples yesterday and picked one. They printed the other. What in the hizzy. For one thing, I feel bad bitching cuz I got such a great deal. For another thing, one blue pretty much matches another blue. For now, I am going to go home tonight and make a sample one with the paper for the envelopes and mailing envelopes that I bought to see if it could work. But I am just annoyed, cuz if it doesn't look right, can I even complain, since they charged me like 1/6 of what Kinko's quoted me?

OH. MY. GOD. I am pissed for you! So irresponsible. I hope it all works out, but I woudl push and push and ask to speak to a supervisor. Tell them to tell that other couple there was a scheduling confliction that just arose and the only available opening is for 10am that day. Do you have a TA who might be able to step in and offere guidance? When I was having issues with my resort, my TA made a quick phone call for me and ever since my WC is much quicker in getting back to me...

Awwww!! Sounds sweet. I went to Veterinary Technology school right out of high school and I loved that part of it. We got to watch a birthing, I castrated baby pics (which i used to love to tell the guy(s) I dated!) I am super-allergic to farms though, man, my eyes shut about swell shut. It was always worse for me near the pigs. But what you said reminded me of how much fun I had. I learned how to tackle sheep to, for clipping. Fun times.

Don't question yourself. You love your dress. Who cares what she says? Plus, people always have different reactions, they say you need to get your dress with 1+ year to go or they say 4 months is cool. She is just disappointed cuz you won't be buying a gown from her. Re: the BM dresses are trunk shows, I have NO clue!

Thanks, Jenn. And when I saw the name, I realized that you did post that before, cuz I remember her name. Sorry about that! I am checking her out now though...

Jac - if you really are interested, there are a few vegetarians on here that you could talk to. Lizz and Heidi are the ones that come right to mind...

Until you see a video about mis-treated fish and chickens. I know it's disturbing to see those videos and people do crazy shit.

I think you should go with the orange. I have seen those dresses and I loved them! Plus orange is my fave color, but hey, you asked! I agree with Katrina, the BM dresses don't need to match yours. Oh and the ushers wearing aqua or turquoise is a great idea! My BM's are wearing a cream with pink and orange dress and the GM's are wearing an aqua shirt and, IMO, they look really good together...

Jenn - where di you buy your flowers? I kinda hate (ok, hate is a strong word, but dislike) the flowers that I got. They look really cheap and fake. I really liked your from your sample updo photos. Are you happy with them in person? Like do they look fake in person and look good in pics? Quote: Originally Posted by Jenn Mine didn't... I had roses for my bouquet and 2 white orchids in my hair. I loved them, and actually wore them quite a bit during our honeymoon - along with a big white gardenia I had bought.

Ya know, I didn't even check the size, but you are right, they are only 5"... Darn. Oh well, still cute, but alot tinier then I thought. Quote: Originally Posted by Alipires1 If they are the 5" ones they are really tiny. I got them, but I figured it still makes a noise so we'll get the effect. I know, I was pretty excited to find something that fit to perfectly. Who cares if they are cheap, they only need to last a few days! Quote: Originally Posted by Morgan I might have to get some maracas & coin purses. Those coin purses are perfect for your theme. I was hoping that people wouldn't think I was silly for dumping the first aid stuff. What you said is exactly waht my sis said, but I still wanted to do the first aid stuff. Just had to choose what I could afford. Stupid money limits. Quote: Originally Posted by tlomlad loves it! weddings are about having fun, lol, and there is a store in the lobby that sells allt he first aid stuff anyway ! Ya know, I didn't think of that either! I am such an impulse buyer! They are 4 1/4" but I have no idea how big a coin purse is. I would assume they are big enough, cuz they are usually big enough for an ID or credit card, but I will check back in when I receive the order... Quote: Originally Posted by becks Question - will a room key-card fit in the coin purses? I've been looking for something to put room keys in and attach a wrist strap or something so people don't have to carry things around. Those would be so PERFECT!! Def will do that. Morgan's DIY cups were what actually turned me onto this idea. I thought going this route though might take less artistic talent, since I have like none.

Yup, you know how that goes, Heidi! I was going to go the first aid kit route, but I just couldn't afford to do both first aid and fun stuff, so I decided screw the first aid! Hope that was the right decision...

from Oriental Trading... cups I will decorate myself, kinda like scrapping, perhaps use individuals names large and small beach balls (these are large, but the small look the same, only, well SMALL!) Coin purses, figured these always come in handy when you don't wanna lug around a big ass purse bubbles... water pistols... tropical maracas...

Cool. I def want the matte look. I will have to go to a makeup counter sometime soon to get this shit all figured out...

Heidi, I am a little late catching up on this thread, but I just read the games that you played and it sounds like you had a ball! I can't wait to see the pics with makeup all over your face! hahahahahaaaa
