Hi Ladies, thanks for all of your great ideas! I thought I would share my templates in case anyone wants to use them. they are inspired by others on this forum. Have fun! For luggage tags I am using the self laminating ones. 3 tags for $1. Wed Luggage tags front good!.ppt Wed Luggage tags back good!.ppt wedding Key insert template.ppt

Where's the pic? I am so excited to see it! I bought the same self laminating ones but have not started on them yet, I will see how yours turned out!

I live in Toronto, so I went to our local Dollarama. They have self-laminating CARD holders, not the luggage tags, 10 in a package for a dollar. The luggage tags come five in a package, so this is more bang for your buck! So I bought 6 packages of those. I then borrowed a template from this forum. (aside: I really have to thank the girls that have posted their templates here...it helps us all so much!) I chose a photo from Microsoft Office Online...they have millions of brightly coloured clip art to choose from. I pasted the picture in the template and added our personal info. For the back, I copied everyone's address from our invitations list. The font is Copperplate Gothic in Word. Around the edge, I have scrolled " Bless this Bag"...we pray all luggage arrives...and arrives in good condition! I printed it on card stock, cut it out and sealed it into the laminating pouch. Lastly, for the strap, I punched a hole in the card and used clear gimp or boondoggle...(that's what one lady at a store in Buffalo called it), laced it through and tied a knot. Voila! Instant luggage tags! FI loves them and you cannot beat that cost! 6 pkgs. self laminating card holders: $ 6.00 White cardstock : 12 sheets @ 10 cents a sheet: $ 1.20 Clear gimp: 3 packages at .79 cents a pks.: $2.40 60 tags for Under $10! And the result: Let me see if I can post this..... Hmmm...give me a minute...

HI Ladies, a few people PM'd but it didnt work out. I still have 10 of the spanish phrases books and 6 of the daily spanish ones. i would prefer to sell them all together but can split it if necessary. Paypal only please thanks

Is this true?? I am all confused... Plus... another question... I think someone posted it before... are you supposed to make a CD with you walk down the aisle song, all that stuff? Sorry, my brain is fried lol I was also told the DJ would be $150/hr. you can bring your own CD for the ceremony etc or they can play romantic mexican music on CD if you dont have it. i think we are bringing our own i just hope their CD player plays it...scary!

sorry i cant help. but i know it will be great! my wedding coord is also not good with responses but everyone says it all works out in the end. my advice bring LOTS of inspirational pictures to show her and the person doing ur hair and make up Happy Planning!

thanks for the ideas! i too am challenged with this

The insert is regular paper folded in half at the bottom, and I stuck it to the inside edge of the badge with the mini glue dots so that it's easy to put things between the two sheets of paper (to hide the contents). The wrist strap with whistle and the clip come from oriental trading. I've attached the template for the inserts. Awesome! thanks, i will be using this for sure!

If you have a choice go for the spanish phrases instead of the daily spanish but either way both are good. i bought both and each bag gets 1 of each

Ladies I just got back from Michaels in Bellingham and they had a great sale 33c for a bunch of stuff. I got note pads 2 x .33c, body butter .33c each, they had these mini calendars with beach theme and a mini carabiner...perfect for key/tip card holder clips to your bathing suit .33c each too Also Target in Bellingham had a bunch of Spanish for Dummies books too! Let me know what you think!

my only suggestion would be to find clear sticker or packing tape and cover the calligraphy to protect it, i know it wont look as beautiful but at least it preserves the look. I hope you can find a solution

Here is another very similar Maggie Sottero one to show what i mean. It is super light on, and it probably does come from some destination collection. MaggieSottero.com - AD8502 - Dress Detail Thanks! have you tried going to another bridal salon and showing them the pictures you have? I am sure someone in the wedding industry will be able to. try the tiffany bridal stores on hastings street or byans bridal at brentwood

Thanks ladies for the responses about the cake, I would love to see pictures if you have any! Thanks

Congrats and welcome! I too am getting married at the Bahia in May at the Akumal side! so excited!!!!! Happy Planning!

Ladies I have a question, for wedding cakes did you get to pick a style or shape if not what shape did you get and how big? I am hoping to do a DIY project of a cake pedestal with crystals and ribbon etc but i dont know if i should do round or square?. thanks for the info, you guys rock!

Ladies married in Akumal...which restaurant did u pick? any info on the menu, table arrangements and preferences would be super helpful, i have the menu's for the italian and seafood but cant decide. thanks!

awesome stuff! very inspiring, i want to do the what to know brochure...are you able to post the template pretty please I hope your wedding went well, cant wait to see the pictures!

you have made an awesome decision. I have booked claudia herself for our wedding in may. she is super fast with replies, very nice to deal with and very helpful. she suggested a place for out trash the dress session and i also asked her to recommend a hair and make up stylist to come to our resort for the day and she did that too. she has done LOTS of weddings for a lot of brides on this forum just do a search. good luck!

So sorry for your loss. Think of it this way, she would be very happy for you! And I am sure it has made you really think about not letting time pass or taking things for granted. Regards!
