Well, it's not a product, it's more an hygiene : sleep, and not going out without SPF on my face ! Missing either one is disastrous.

Double post ? Not sure why.

We are non-believers and won't have religious stuff at all. This was one of the perks of getting married on the beach So it will be about marriage in general. We have nice readings (some of them still to be picked), vows, sand ceremony. No reference to God or Jesus. I asked my minister to send me the text of what he was intending to say. I'm working on it now. You should actually try to do the same. The best way to put up a personal ceremony is to talk to your minister.

I only sent the information on my invitations and not even sure people noticed it. I don't want to send reminders so... pretty sure nobody will actually put money on it. I think I get notified anyway (it's travelersjoy).

Wow !!! That's so creative ! I love the idea ! I wanted to make a welcome letter and a who's who but why not put everything together in the same ! Wow !

At Oriental Trading Company : last day today free shipping for orders over 49$ by entering the code "lucky". After today and until March 24, enter "WC97873" at checkout for the same

You can select the different objects, text boxes, pictures etc in your file and re-order them (send them to the back, to the front). The background picture in the brochure is easy to select - just click on the hedge. The background picture in the invites might require that you first select the text boxes in the front and send them to the back. Then you can select the background picture and edit it, or delete it and add a different one that you would then edit before sending to the back again. Check out the format otions before, I think I made these pics 40 or 60% transparent.

I'll let you know once the package is here. I think at the price, you don't get to customize... the random colors are fine by me, I did ot want my guests to all have the same ones !

We have been trying to track them down for 1.5 weeks, but now I feel that we just cannot wait any longer to just get new ones. I feel just as responsible for agreeing with FI to send them to his PA, so I have to take some blame for this screw-up, too. Thanks, to everyone for all their helpful suggestions so far! And Jess-wedding paper divas looks really good! The price is right, and the shipping times look really fast, too! This may be the answer! I'll let you ladies know how it all works out. Oh my, I thought you still had the invites ! If you're looking to non-traditional invites, you can try botanical paperworks. I ordered ny fvors from them. I received a proof the day after ordering, and they have shipped already (I ordered last Friday). Plantable Wedding Invitations from Botanical PaperWorks

I'm so glad I opened this thread ! Thanks !

My dress is silk and everything is showing under it ! Even SPANX ! I swear. The only thing i could find is those super thin, no show thongs from intimissimi. So it will be it. And adhesive pads for the top eventually, but I could not find some that I liked so far.

So many things remaining to be done for me, and only a month a half to go ! I received pretty much everything for the OOT bags, just missing the OTC order. The sand frame came in already. I'm now in the process of : - re-starting coordination with new WC... still need chairs, tables, lounge furniture, canopy, microphone, floating candles, centerpieces, cake, hairdresser, make-up, flower petals.......... and I'm now thinking lights for the dance floor too... - work on vows and ceremony ! I did nothing ! I need to translate part of it to French and write the vows... - work on all my DIY stuff : welcome letter, hanging tags for OOT bags, program, menu, who's who, door hangers... - order ring bearer outfit - do my dress fitting !!!!!!!!!! On FI's desk : - music - his outfit ! Will we be ready

Long story short, they didn't make it to the P.O., disaster ensued, and now I have to reorder new ones. I've re-contacted the vendor that did the orignial invitations, and although I am still working on it, it could potentially take another 3 weeks to get new ones! Anyone have any suggestions on where I can get nice invitations turned around within about a week or so time? I've already put in a rush order to Vistaprint for STDs as a stopgap, but need the formals with RSVP, etc. info to go out really soon. I don't want to go the Vistaprint route if there are nicer (but FAST) options, but will if I have to. I figure tomorrow is the latest I can find and decide on a vendor, or go the Vistaprint route. Silly question, but why do you need new invitations ? Is it because of the RSVP ?

Woo hoo ! So exciting !Congrats on your wedding !

Hurray ! Found GM attire this week-end ! We went to JC Penney and they had these great linen pants and linen shirts of super good quality from The Havanera Co., all on sales, 29.99$ a piece. So each GM is entirely dressed for 60$, and FI loved them so much he also took some for him ! Lol. Here is the attire worn by FI : And a detail of the shirt :

Just found the GM outfits !! All The Havanera Co. at JC Penney, on sales !! I'm so glad ! Just remaining : the groom ! And the ring bearer... I'm getting started on all my DIY stuff : programs, menus, door hangers, hanging tags for OOT bags and hangover kits, welcome letter, who's who...

OK, I'm trying to figure this out but honestly, I have failed so far ! So in our party, we have two groomsmen, the best "man" is a woman, and I have three BM but no MOH. We have a ring bearer and a flower girl. I definitely want to walk with my father. FI likes the idea of walking with his mom. So I can figure the end of the procession which is : ring bearer + flower girl, me + my dad. The beginning I guess, FI and his mom (unless we skip this). But what with the middle thing ? 1. One GM with two girls ? Knowing that the BW (best woman, ndlr) does not wear the same thing than the BM ? 2. Or, the 3 BM, the 2 GM, the BW ? That would be awkward, right ? 3. Or, each GM with a BM, and then a BM by herself and the BW, but how to select the BM, knowing that I have no MOH ? 4. Or one GM with one BM, the other with 2 BM, the BW with the ring bearer ? 5. Or, should I have the GM wait at the altar and make only the girls walk, one by one ? 6. Or, something else ? Gnnnnnn headache. If I did not have a headache I would lough at my own post !

First one too.

Front back Raaa. Do you have templates for these ? I would love to steal your idea, yes, iit would be delightful

Quote: Originally Posted by Jojo Hi, Thanks for the links. I like the idea and have thought about it too. But I wasn wondering, how would you bring seeds across the border? I'm from Calgary..so, I'd have to bring he seeds to Mexico, and then my guest would have to bring them back to Canada. Any suggestions for me? I didn't even think about it. Technically, this is "paper". I will put mine in an enveloppe (so that they don't get all torn in the OOT bag). So really, I don't plan to declare anything to anybody.

I know I'm not small, but I'm hardly big enough that I shouldn't be able to try on wedding dresses!!?? I can't believe that would be true - can anyone offer any insight? If it is of any relevance, I have my heart set on a Maggie Sottero (well, several.. lol) Pfffffffffffff no way who told you this ? I was a size 12 when I tried on dresses and there were all in size 12 and actually too small (except David's bridal) but my actual size was 14 or 16 at most !! Plus size are you kidding me ?

Thank you so much everybody for your words. This helps ! FI called me during the day and he was all the contrary of stressed - he's so zen. So relaxed. That helps a lot I'm gonna focus on the fact that I want to marry him (again ) on this beautiful beach, in my beautiful dress, with the people that will want to be there for us. I'm gonna think positive and it will make me positive : this is gonna be an awesome wedding ! Those who won't be there will regret it !
