Lots of Stuff FS after a FABULOUS Wedding!
VinceBride2B replied to VinceBride2B's topic in Buy / Sell / Trade Archives
The starfish candles were from a candle store called Illuminations that I absolutely loved!! But it closed! I am so incredibly sad about that! You may be able to find them online somewhere, but they originally came in a 3 pack with 1 blue (shown), 1 pale aqua, and 1 off white! And Cheri, the flowers are wrapped with floral tape, for boutiniers, but if you are crafty, you may me able to glue them to a hair clip! -

Shower Etiquette Question! Please help!
VinceBride2B replied to VinceBride2B's topic in Wedding Etiquette, Traditions, to dos
Thanks for the advice ladies! It really helps to hear other brides, and people who don't know me, tell me that I'm on the right track with my thoughts on this! I don't want to be selfish, but I did feel like I wish she wouldn't have asked! I think I'm going to combine your advice and tell her that I don't have any part in the shower planning and that she has to talk to my MOH, who has no problem telling her not to bring them... Yay for MOH's who aren't afraid to speak up! -
Shower Etiquette Question! Please help!

That would keep you out ofit and off the hook. :-) My MOH, my sister planned the shower along with my mom. My sister was ready to call my friend and explain to her that it wasn't planned as an event with kids, but I don't want to hurt my friends feelings if my sister were to call and not me. It is a good idea, and I'm not sure why she called to ask me and not the hostesses anyway!! I think I'm always too afraid to hurt peoples feelings! -
Ok, our shower is this weekend, and one of my friends just called me and asked if it was okay if she brings her children, ages 2 months and 2 years, to the shower. There are no kids invited to the shower, except my nieces who are my flower girls. I am very low maintainence, I seriously try not to turn into a bridezilla, but I'm kind of upset about this. I know that her husband doesn't work on Sundays and could stay with the kids, and after being a BM in her wedding, I know that she would've killed anyone who dared to ask to bring their kids to her shower. I feel like I'm in an awkward situation, do I tell her that its an adult only shower, when I know she will take it as a personal attack on her children?? Help! I don't want to hurt her feelings, but I also don't want any other kids there besides my nieces! And please be honest, if I'm sounding like a selfish baby, I want to know!!

Looking for cute ways to include pics of DW
VinceBride2B replied to Cassondra2009's topic in At Home Reception (AHR)
We are making a CD slideshow of pics from our DW and adding in pics of family and friends, etc. We are planning to play it on a big screen during dinner, and the DJ is going to play some corresponding dinner music. I'm hoping this will be a way to share our pics with everyone, and stimulate conversation. -
Contemplating a Disney Wedding...
VinceBride2B replied to FutureMrsLewis's topic in Florida Weddings
Hi there! We are getting married on a Disney cruise in September! We are going on the three day cruise, and our wedding ceremony will be on Disneys private island, Castaway Cay, on the beach! I cannot wait! We originally planned on the Dominican Republic, but decided on the Disney cruise because we had some guests who did not want to fly, and other issues, & ended up deciding on the Disney cruise because it leaves from Florida, but we still get that beach wedding! If you have any questions, let me know, I'm more than happy to try to help! Good Luck! -

A ton of Sunglasses for Sale!
VinceBride2B replied to VinceBride2B's topic in Buy / Sell / Trade Archives
Ok, heres a pic of a few pairs, there really are alot of different styles, mostly black or brown, a few with color. The actual name brands will vary, but some that I have are Oakley, Foster Grant, Ray Ban, Michael Kors, Polo, Kenneth Cole, to name a few. -
Hi all, I have a ton of sunglasses that I am selling in mixed lots. They are not new with tags, but have all been checked for scratches, chips, chew marks (eww!), etc. They will also be mixed brands, colors, styles, etc, but the cool thing is you may get some designer sunglasses in the lot for super cheap!! Anyway, the cost is $20 for 12 pairs, plus shipping cost, and I will throw in kids sunglasses for free if you tell me how many pairs!

Ok I tried that PDFonline.com, and it worked to save the document as a pdf file... However, when it substituted unrecognizable fonts. For example, I used SC by the Sea (downloaded from dafont.com) for a starfish, and pdfonline changed it back to a G because it didnt recognize the font! Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this?? Im starting to think I'm in way over my head!!
-
I also chose chocolate envelopes, and I printed the addresses myself using an aqua metallic marker type pen that I found at a scrapbooking store. It worked out really well, the color shows up great, and it shows the address very clearly. Also, it really pulled the color scheme together! I will post a pic just as soon as I can to show you!

Welcome!! Good Luck with your planning! This site is very helpful!

Ok, I'm all finished with my STD Boarding Passes, and everything is the way I like it, except that on my computer the font color looks like a turquoise/aqua, and when I print it out it looks more like a dark teal! I tried making custom colors and tried all of the preset colors in the blue/green range, and nothing prints out in aqua/turquoise!! Has anyone printed in this color that can tell me how to custom build it or could somehow send it to me? Any help is much appreciated, I want to get these things done and sent!!

Hi all, So I made my Boarding Pass STD's, using several fonts that I downloaded from Dafont.com. There you can get a ton of fonts that are really cool, including SC by the Sea, which has a starfish, shells, etc. The TIP here is that when I went to the printer (I used FedEx Kinkos), their computer did not recognize the fonts, so I had to drive home, save all the fonts that I had downloaded to my flash drive, and then Kinkos loaded those fonts onto their computer! Otherwise, their computer just made substitutions that did not look right!! So just something to keep in mind when you download fonts, just save the files also to your flash drive! Hope this is helpful for those making their STD's!!

It is alot of work, but I'm just about finished with my boarding pass STD's, and I'm pretty happy with how they are turning out! There are plenty of templates on here, or I could send you mine. Then you just have to fill in your info, and your theme! I would be more than happy to help if you want, I had alot of fun designing mine, but I'm certainly not a professional! Let me know if you need anything at all!

I am from the Detroit area too! And our wedding is the day before yours!! So I am totally willing to hang out, even work on some DIY projects together if you ever want!! I'm trying to work on our STD's right now! Happy planning!

Thank you so much for the advice! She will be bringing her husband, so I was thinking maybe of offering to pay for a few nights at the hotel, which is AI. Then she can charge me whatever for the hair, and my girls will get their hair done by her too, so she will make some money while on vacation! Hopefully that will be fair to them, and not cost me too much money??

Ok, I'm trying to figure out what to do about my Hair Stylist! I have been with the same hair stylist for about ten years, and she has never done me wrong! I COMPLETELY want her to come to Punta Cana, mostly as a friend and invitee, but I'd also love for her to do my hair! What is the best etiquette for this?? Either way, I plan on inviting her, and she has mentioned that she wants to go, and would love to do my hair, but I'm not sure what exactly I should offer to pay? Just for the hair? The room? On a side note, she also does just about all of my friends hair too, so if she went, she would probably have at least 5 other girls to do.... Thanks for any suggestions! I want to treat her right, but don't know whats the best thing for both of us!!
