we used vistaprint.com. we ordered 50 w/ a glossy pic on the outside and a matte one on the inside for about $60 incl. shipping. i did thank you cards from there for my shower as well, i think 100 cards for $100 (just a matte pic on the outside). there are always coupon codes to use w/ vistaprint, and each time we got something free - an address stamp, return address labels, etc.. the only thing we didn't like was that they have www.vistaprint.com printed on the back...we wouldn't have minded if we knew, but we had no idea.

i'm planning a surprise party for dh's 30th. i want lots of wine when i get there. i'll drown myself in my sorrows...tho i had my crisis at 26. my mil got me a spa gift certificate for $250 or something like that and i never used it b/c i had no one to go with...so keep that in mind if you decide to do a spa gc. if you're close, maybe invite some other friends/couples to go to dinner and you and your fi can pay. there's always the wine of the month club!

congrats!!!

wow, that's awesome!!!!! what a way to welcome you to the family!!! happy belated birthday!

carly, everything looks fabulous! now you can relax...have you thought about what will take up all of your 'wedding' time? i'm still trying to figure that out

(prostitutes are another story tho...anyone see very bad things? yikes!!!)

wow, 2 months flew!!! she does look like a little rockstar - give her a blowup guitar and take another pic

i'd probably call her and tell her. and i'd try to make her feel bad - something like, "well, it seems as though you don't want to be at the wedding. i feel that if you really wanted to be there, you would have booked at the resort so that you'd have no doubts." good luck! she sucks!

congratulations!!!! she looks like a little doll!

congrats! can't wait to hear and see everything!!!

congrats!!!!

happy legal day!!!!!

congrats!!!!!

dear dh, this week has been fantastic. i'm glad you stopped being a whiny bitch. i'm still upset that when you started your new job, you didn't tell them about the days you couldn't be there, and now i'm stuck going to 1 1/2 weddings alone, and may end up on vacation alone!!! they can't say no when you're first hired, but now it's too late!!! and thank you for picking up your stuff this morning, but somehow our house is still a disaster, and i have an hour to get it clean, shower, get ready, get some snacks, get a wedding card and get to a wedding. your help is always appreciated, especially when i don't have to tell you that the toilet is gross in order to get you to clean it. love, your dw dear self, get your ass in the shower. you stink like chlorine and sweat. from, self

my cat likes to pull the tp off of the roll and roll in it. he also likes to bunny kick it, shredding it into tiny pieces that are impossible to get out of the bathmat without washing it for the 290710982th time this week... but no worms...

i had a charlotte in my class this past year. she was very dreamy, but wanted to be a superstar on american idol. being a teacher makes kids' names much more difficult. like i could NEVER have a jaida after an experience a few years ago....no sam for me either....

i didn't know about this! i have a wedding tomorrow night - maybe i'll stop on the way for a bright blue slurpee

those are awesome!!!! i love the cab shots too! where was your party??

a pregnant colleague announced her baby name today - mallory... i haven't heard that name since the baby sitter's club! her son is dylan, so they'll have daddy and dylan, and mommy and mallory!

lay on the beach and relax. say hi to all of my students who have summer houses down there. do nothing but relax. relax. did i say relax?

i am. i wouldn't have it any other way. my cousin, who is now 19, has had 3 heart transplants. i can't see getting different medical care b/c i'm a donor tho...like someone said, isn't that incredibly unethical? i just don't want them to take my eyes. that grosses me out.

wow, i can't believe you're so well prepared that you can do a planning thread 30 days early!!! everything looks awesome - your guests are going to be spoiled!

congrats! hope to hear from susan and see pics soon!

welcome! that's a lot of kids .... you could go to a family friendly place...many of them have an 'under 4 is free' kinda deal...at least the triplets may be under 4...
