Yeah they did turn out pretty cool. Wish I could take some credit but it isn't mine to take. I would recommend using the company we did- you can find them at other sites and pay way more for the same thing.

Depends--do you have the time? A great in-car stereo system and a love for fast food? if yes, go for it!

Looks like a blast and I love the 7 course thing--great idea! No need to hurry! 25 days!! AHHHHH! How exciting.

I swear I wasn't trying to tease--I didn't get much of a response the first time so I though no one was interested OOPS! Ok so here goes, I whited out the name of the venue as well as my phone number--try not to take it personally--there just simply isn't enough room for you all! whole thing- it says Ball...& chain. It looks like an 8 but it's not. right side Left side. They came with envelopes that are the same color and they are on nice, heavy paper. If you look close you can see that you can even tear the stub off if you wanted to. Oh and "Sweet" is more of a joke--Chris says that all the time to piss my sister off. edit:wow, sorry that side is HUGE!

I guess I am not sure how easy that is to do. I know there are companies out there that will do it for you Custom Designs for your Wedding Invitations - Wedding Mapper

We have the tickets and they turned out great! I am not sure if anyone is interested in seeing them anymore so just let me know. Their customer service was great and they happily changed stuff for us.

Can I help you look? What are looking for? Diamonds? We got really basic bands for a great price and my fiance is a BIG guy ( over 6'6 and linebacker bulid) and they fit him.

I am not feeling too hot and frankly I just got sick of sitting on the couch so I decided to sit at my desk and whipped these up today. It's hard to get a good picture because I used Vellum. For those interested I printed the wording on vellum and cut it down ( got 2 per page). I bought the scrapbook type paper from Michaels and since it was not a heavy paper I double backed taped it onto heavy, white card stock. I than positioned the vellum on top of the two sheets of paper and used 2 paperclips to hold it in place and I poked the hole through the vellum and paper to make way for the brad. I than put the brad through and opened that bad boy up. Ta da! As far as what the invite is for I am having my MOH's and personal attendant over to my house 2 days before the wedding as my way of thanking them for all they have done. I didn't want to call it a spa party since, really , we will be doing our own manicures and such. I will be giving each of them a professional hand massage! I am making up app's and lots of drinks. I am giving them each their own manicure/pedicure set that comes with a foot bath. Here is the way I wrapped them as well as the stuff inside: It's hard to tell but I found antique photo gift tags and I made the flower that is on top out of some black crystal type things.

What a very clever idea. Now you just have to figure out what to do with that stuff

You are a saint! That looks time consuming yet amazing!

You could really just keep it very simple and just have one small gift box rather than a bag. I contacted our visitor board and had them send us some information--for free! Here is theirs Official Charleston SC Visitors Guide | Charleston Travel Guide | Charleston Vacation & Tourist Guide You can also look into getting dicount vochers from local places like bulldog tours or the aquarium. We went there last year and loved it! I think any effort your put in is worth it's weight in gold! Check this out Free Charleston SC Discount Vacation Coupons - Tourist Pack of Charleston, South Carolina You could also make up some postcard for people and get them printed at vistaprint. If you need some photos I might have some that you could use.

Wow, very nice! You are pretty lucky to have your sister helping you!

I agree, you were doing something very nice for all of us and it has been done before on this forum before with out any trouble and sadly for you both NOW he is starting to get shady. We all now owe you big hugs for doing this!

The adheasive really stuck on like it was supposed to but the weight just pulled at the sides and I ended up with blisters at the end of the night. Not fun! Ouch! Yeah they sure do a number on that really soft, thin skin don't they?

I am in school to become a massage therapist and have lost all modesty about my body! I run around in a toga style dress most days and I am sure most of my classmate have seen the girls. It was pretty funny but I couldn't laugh too much cause my boobs would shake. I imagine she has seen it all by now so I was just another pair of melons to her. The things we do to get fit for our wedding day!

We are actually in the counseling now and I love it. What I did was look under the enrich/prepare program and found someone in our area who wasn't with a church. It has been wonderful! DO a google search on Enrich counseling and their site will help you find someone in your area.

I actually looked over at my sister at one point and told her I really needed a drink! Glad you all got a kick out of it. Might I just say that I did take off the set she put on last night and this morning I have a rash were it was--be kind to your girls. I am sure this story will be shared at our wedding to any woman who can listen! My older sister wasn't there and my younger sister begged me to let her tell my older sister what happened.

Yeah it says it's been deleted....so sad..I want to see.

I went for my dress fitting today and boy was it just one of the oddiest experiences ever. My dress is very low in the back so wearing a bra is out of the question. I am a big "c" cup and the lady suggested I try using these boob tape like things. My sister and I went in to give them a try and that got the first odd part out of the way. Me grasping my breast while my younger sister tries to tape the underside. After wasting 2 freaking sets the seamstress knocks on the door to ask how we are doing. I tell her it isn't working and she asks if she can come in. By now I am like "what the hell, on more perons seeing the girls is ok by me." So she is a good 8 inches shorting than I am and she is attmeping to get this massive boob band-aid on me. She gets them on and they start to slide down and really are not working. SO she proceeded to grab both of my boobs and inspects them as if she is trying to decided which one to buy. Behind her my sister is bright red and stuffing her laughter. She later told me she thought she was going to wet her pants. Can't say I have ever had my boobs cradled like that. That being said my dress looks much better after getting it pinned! Oh and she is sewing a panel in the back so I can wear a bra cause who wants to mess with tata tape on her wedding day.

This is ours as of right now. We are still tweaking it. I pulled it from this site:templates Program Template_1.doc

I was amazed at how fast we got TONS of stuff done. Even something as easy as just folding the outer part to my programs--I laughed that we did it but it would have taken me 2 hours but it took 5 of us like 30 minutes to do it! You would be surprised at who offers to help you. It's like helping someone move, people help you in hopes that you will help them either that or they know how much this kind of stuff can drain you.

I see no flaws--you look great!

I really like those, I don't think I have seen anything like them. Great find.

Yeah the last two months really start to fill up with stuff to do. We are now doing our wedding local and pretty much every weekend of the next two months is packed with stuff. Just take stuff one step at a time and it won't seem so bad.
