Turtlebaybride

Oh good, i'm glad I was able to help....my guests love them so far! They called me original. I just laugh because really i'm not. I got the idea from the knot and this site but we'll let them think i'm all that!!

Ya, that was supposed to be, "Did you ATTEND, do tell!"

I have the answer for you.......but you'll have to go look at my posting that I just posted about my luggage tags. I just posted it a bit ago showing off mine, (lol). I don't remember what their called and I just erased the email about them. Go check out my posting. It'll say MY DIY LUGGAGE TAGS. Original huh?

My FI is an architect and is artsy like that. I am SOOOO not!! We've been apart from one another for 5 months so you can imagine we've both been bored and needing things to do. So I put him to work! I honestly really couldn't tell you how he made them. But I can ask him if you'd like. Here's the thing, I found the photo for him and then he added the wording on it. He had to make 6 to a page. He made the outline and then sent it over to me and I printed and cut everything out and then shipped everything out a few days ago. As for the plastic covers, I bought them on shoplet.com. The brand is Proximity Badge Holders and their $12.32 for 50. And you'll also need the plastic straps and those are a brand called Sparco. 100 come to a box and the box is $11.47. Everything cost me like $50 because i needed alot of them.

I just sent out my luggage tags along with a brochure from the hotel and a postcard to give some information about the Luau we will all be attending!! Enjoy the photos below.......

Hi Tara, where abouts did you get that ribbon? And those tags.....are they the kinds that are laminating or do you slip the paper in them? Did that make sense? Cause i'm thinking of leaving the paper blank, so my many guests can fill it in themselves. And how are you going to ship them to your guests? I've been thinking.....ooohhhh what's that going to cost? In a regular envelope, in a package, etc....yikes.

I was thinking the same thing......I'm making these luggage tags and thinking to myself........."ok now what do I do with these besides mail them." Ahhhhh, now the hardest part. I'm not making a pre-travel brochure. I don't really know what I would put in it or if I'd have the time for it. Boo!! Any other suggestions out there?

This has been the most helpful thread so far, thank you!!

Thank you for clarifying that about the ads. I was all confused. Still don't get why anyone would have any problems with this entire forum and create conflict, but you know how it is......people just gotta complain about SOMETHING. I sometimes wish I didn't work, because really, I'd be on this thing ALL day. No really!! I'm just glad we're all squared away, I think. Believe me, I was NOT complaining about this site one bit. I was just hoping nothing was wrong with my computer, I was getting nervous cause the thing is getting old and I fear breakdown! Have a good day.

Perhaps what I said came out incorrectly....but it was never intended to say that the folks/you of this forum have done anything wrong or don't do enough. What I simply meant was I thought maybe it was ME or maybe something I was doing wrong. Everytime I got on, people were posting and it didn't seem like anyone was having problems. I was only checking to see if it was me or system wide. And I have no idea what you're talking about complaining about ads, I haven't complained about any ad yet. Unless you weren't speaking directly to me..... Again, all I was doing was checking to see if this was a system wide problem or just me......geez. In the meanwhile......I love the site......and really appreciate it. What can I do to help out? I'd love to help!

OMG, its so frustrating! I love this site too!

For days now i've had the hardest time with this forum, on two of my computers. Both my work and my home! Is anyone else having this problem?

Seriously, I nominate you BEST FRIEND of the year!! To go to all this effort......she will love everything you're doing. This is all great.

Ya, I was looking for actual photos. Not for a list of shots to take. I can't seem to find too many actual photos here, but I did find them elsewhere. I did do a search here like you suggested previous to posting. I do a lot of lurking on this site, but I appreciate your advice.

I have now accumulated some photos from another site if you guys would like me to email them to you. Let me know.

Hey everyone, do any of you ladies have a "must take photo" list? I have a list but I want examples. Does anyone out there have actual photos they'd mind sharing? I always see things I like and then I forget to save the photo. I need to get on this now. Thanks guys!! Sarah

Hello everyone, has anyone used their company before? I have a friend that ordered her dress way back in February and was told the dress would be here in June. Since then, they keep telling her "its on its way". I guess in Feb, their estimated time frame was 18 weeks, now its gone up to 22 weeks. What are everyone else's experiences? Thanks guys!!

These are so cute.......I'm so in!! Destination Weddings : Wedding, Bride, Groom, Future Bride, Newlywed : CafePress.com

These are wonderful! I am going to be sending you mail inquiring about these......

This really makes me think that I need to buckle down. Thanks for sharing and helping those of us out that don't even know where to start!

Thank you for helping us all out.........especially those like me that are challenged when it comes to these projects!!

I have a couple of questions.......I have seen a few places where people have bought these fans. Did you get a good deal on these? And what kind of ribbon did you use? Was this tough as hell to do? Looks really hard!! I want to make the attempt but I don't want to be cursing! Appreciate any help. Thanks.

These turned out really nice......do you have an after picture of what these looked like with the nice pretty paper? Thanks so much!

These are incredible........everyday I get on here and see something new. I swore I saw it all!!
