I registered with them and had no problems and I even made a return with no problems.

Oversize would be more postage so for your guests I would make them standard size.

I did one and I think it was 16 and it looked too big

I used open ones and they didn't fall out, and I used the mini key clip holders from OTC and they worked great, they are small but perfect for clipping on to clothes.

8 is too small, use 12 if you can

OMG it is so cute!!! I really should have made a card box, I was handing all my cards to family members then had to go collect them after the wedding haha, it was a bad idea, I just assume that I got all of the cards but I could realiztically be missing some.

I've heard powerpoint and photoshop but what if I don't have either. Does anyone know where I can get something like that or is it pretty easy to just design the stuff right on VP? It is easier, and cheaper to use VP designs, if you don't like exactly what they have go to their add imageg option then search their image library for something you like, for example you can use a starfish they have on their site then use it for all of your stuff. I made different things but used the cruise ship for a lot of my stuff.

Wow that sounds cute and pretty easy with your instructions, I wish I knew about it before my wedding but I'm sure it will help out future brides

There is also a subforum on this forum for cruise brides so you can find some more info about cruise weddings in there if that's the route you want to take.

Good I'm glad you are booking the cruise first because that is 100% refundable until about 30 days before the cruise so if you changed your minds you could get the money back. Good luck the Caymans are beautiful!!

Awww those are so cute!! I'm really jealous!

I can't remember the name of the company but it is popular so you might know what I'm talking about, anyway they have a man and a woman like twisted together, I got a candlestick holder but they have other figurine type things too. Darn I wish I could remember, if it hits me later I'll post again. Anyway it was really sweet and my fav engagement gift.

Thanks for sharing, planning threads always help even if they are late! I am starting to feel really guilty about not posting mine yet, I have to upload some pics to photobucket before I make it.

Congrats, we stopped in the Caymans and it was so beautiful and nice there you'll have a beautiful wedding!!!

...forgot to mention I am 5'3 1/2 and had on 1 1/4 inch heels on

I have one but I'm just not sure if I'm ready to part with it, let me know if it is something you would be interested in and that will help me make a decision as to whether or not I can sell it yet Snapfish: Share Photo:Registration Snapfish: Share Photo:Registration

You ladies area amazing thanks so much for this thread, it has saved me so much time!!

That's a really smart idea, I wish I had thought of it, I hate all the extra busniess cards I have from VP, I don't want to throw them out but aside from making them into bookmarks they don't serve much of a purpose.

No Way!!! I really heart VP!!!!!!!! This is perfect timing Thanks for sharing!

Too cute, well worth the splurge

I think it depends a lot of your budget, invitations alone can really add up as well as stamps and if they actually come then there are other expenses but if you would regret not inviting people then invite them and figure out a way to budget it in

I went around when people checked into the hotel and said welcome to Miami and handed them their bags, they all were really surprised and excited, I think it is a great way to say hello!

OMG everything came out so nice! I know it is hard work doing it on your own but you can also take all the credit when your guests tell you how lovely everything looks

Oh and helpful hint for those making luggage tags, it is not a good idea to put velcro on the end of the ribbons, just tie them. Haha I almost found that one out the hard way, the sticky stuff melts in the heat and slides off the ribbon.

I put Gator gummies in my OOT bags for my guests, I got them from OTC Gator Snaps Gummy Treats Also palm trees are a FL thing.
