I'd seen them on the Lomas website that had all the bouquet options, but wasn't planning on getting one. I'm still not.

When are you getting married in PV? Kathy Kathy, Easy mistake to make, but if you'll take a peek back at post #1, you'll see that this was from 2006. In fact, Ann got married almost a year ago, and I believe has a little on on the way! Check out this thread that gives all kinds of good tips for newbies, including remembering to look at the dates!

The only reason my taxes are finished is because my dear mother loves me and finished them for me. But don't stop photoshopping and posting! We need you, what with being so busy doing taxes and all...

Well, I did pick noobs because they need 50 points the most so I guess I was a little thoughtful. I would understand the shame were you trying to steal 50 points from tons of people, but donating the points, for whatever reason, can't be that bad. I mean how many people do you know that only donate to charity because it makes them feel good or helps them out with taxes? Just think of the karma as a tax refund! (Sorry, I guess I'm in tax mode today!)

Quote: Originally Posted by Morgan I got my karma back pretty fast. But I lost 3 too. Not sure why I was able to get it back so quick. I donated 50 points to a ton of newbies. I thought maybe that would give me good karrma. Then I started getting these really nice thank you notes I felt a little bad that I had done it just to see if I could get back my karma. I think this should go in the confessions thread!

Maura, I knew I liked you! lol

I win shortest-dating-to engaged-award. We dated for 2 months before he proposed, and we're getting married 5 months after that! In all fairness, we were best friends for the last 4 years, and we actually went to the same high school, but we had never even hinted at dating until October 2007, one week after things ended with the last guy (short relationship) I was with. For us, the only next step in our relationship was to decide to get married, so here we are, 2 months away!

The original price of the bouquet is $80, but with the extra flowers it's $100. I'm also getting the bouquet holder ($15). I ordered all of my amenities from the Lomas Travel site. What's the deal with the bouquet holders? We don't have to get one of those to keep the flowers together, right?

Gracias, Sol! And you were beautiful on your wedding day. I wish I had this information before I began my planning!

Do you have a PC or Mac?

Was that a Shrek chia pet?

I had actually gone to an invitation store and they updated us on the postage. My mom and I came to an agreement that we could do the square invites with extra postage if we would be saving so much by making them ourselves. I just don't want to pay 50 cents or more per envelope if I can help it. The sites listed so far have been quite helpful. I think one of them will work. So thanks everyone! I'll let you know what I end up ordering.

Thanks, Morgan! You're the best! We'll be "borrowing" this as well! And thanks for saving us the points.

How cute, Morgan! We can't wait to see the TTD ones with all your fierce poses in your new favorite outfit!

My sister is on a forum somewhere out there in internet land and I always used to make fun of her for meeting people on it and talking about it...Fast forward to now where I consider this place my #1 go-to before I make ANY decisions about the wedding, I mean any decision about life in general at this point - I called her one day and I said - OMG I am soooo sorry for ever saying anything about your forum friends because now I understand! I feel closer to you guys then 1/2 of my "realworld" friends! I mean seriously - and whenever I bring up the forum - like for instance How Morgan made my Bachelorette invites and I went into detail about how I posted it on here and how you guys are so awesome and most everyone was like - you gave someone on the internet your personal info -what if they find you?? And I was like are you kidding? I hope they do find me and COME to my bachelorette party!! LOL! So I guess that is my confession - You can't knock it till you try it - and my sister was right - you guys are awesome AND I hope someday I can meet you!! Please don't hate me for being so ignorant about friends you meet in BDW! I am the first to say WHO KNEW! Wow, don't apologize so much!! I'm sure many of us came to this forum looking for little but some great DW ideas. I doubt we knew how connected we would feel and what amazing advice other brides could have! Embrace it! Love it!

Quote: Originally Posted by Morgan Yeah, my memory of this picture I don't even remember seeing was a little fuzzy. Maybe that's because the picture was fuzzy! Turn that into a fuzzy pseudo-memory, and we're lucky you even came up with anything at all!

Quote: Originally Posted by Morgan Humm, I wonder if I've seen this picture before. This was the first image that popped in my mind. It's on allposters.com so it's probably a fairly famous picture. Funny how things seep into your subconcious like that How cute! Looks like you'll need a third bride, though...

Quote: Originally Posted by JUSTUSTWO No problem! Delivery was quick! Last Monday I ordered free samples & I got them by Friday. Then this Monday I ordered the envelopes & UPS just brought them today! Awesome, that's what I like to hear. I'll have to check out the free sample option!

These are a better price, thanks!

Yeah, I thought of that, and if I have to, I can adjust the font a little to make room for a true 6x6 envelope. But a little bigger would be better.
