nice!!! did you make them? i love that bookmark/clip thing with the swirl!

this is a reality TV show about getting parking tickets and getting your car booted and towed. it is SO FUNNY and based in Philly - they follow around the real Parking Authority. the downside is that i live in Philly and they make everyone in our city look like they just got out of jail and can't tell the difference between a noun and a verb but other than that seriously hysterical, especially if you have ever lived here or been here and had to deal with The Parking Authority!

that's awesome - congrats on your 1st 5 years together!!!!!

i am going to take the other side of the coin. i think that asking someone to travel to another country for your party is a lot, no matter what and then telling them that they have to come alone is kind of a slap in the face

that is really funny - it does look gross but probably taste yummy - i would have to close my eyes LOL

Jenn - enjoy every minute and come back real fast and post pics and details LOL!!!! CONGRATS

great site! i just ordered 35 canvas totes THANKS

so beautiful!!!! i love everything, especially your shoes - hot!

Jenn! i can't believe your wedding is this week WOW!!! everything looks amazing. congrats and have a wonderful time. i can't wait to hear all about it

Jill! you look so beautiful and happy! i love your colors. it was such a trip down memory lane seeing your pics as i went to an amazing wedding there last year - knowing the location and the villa i can only imagine what a wonderful time you and all of your guests had!!! congrats again

follow your heart and don't make your friends into numbers - who cares what anyone else thinks?!? i am having 7 on my side and we are having a DW in Hawaii - we have 40 people total coming and FI and i keep joking that half of them will be standing up for us

Thats what I did since we already have everything and will be getting rid of some stuff. since that is the case i would suggest not including on the actual boarding pass but doing a small square insert (probably smaller than a biz card) saying something like "in leiu of gifts, please make a donation to ..... through ......." or something like that.

those are awesome!!!

yeah i agree with Tami i don't think you should put the registry info on the invites - it is kind of tacky and your guests may think you expect gifts. instead let your mom and his mom tell people if they ask

Glenda - you have to hire a cleaning person for the deep cleaning and then you can do a daily 'sweep through'

i did not read through the whole thread but those are AWESOME!! you did an amazing job! they are perfect for a DW.

Amy - can you fix the link under my signature? the code looks like it has an error. Thanks!

Mo - i think you should tell her how uncomfortable you are. have 2 other places that are close by to suggest as alternates so that there is a solution. i hope she is understanding!!!

Thanks girls!!!!! that is cool

Melissa - thank you so much!!! i REALLY, REALLY love the french connection one but i think it may be too much $$$$ for the girls. i feel bad asking them to spend that much!
