So this wedding has been a lesson of trial and error .. I ordered brochures through Vistaprint and they were nice but not as detailed as I wanted b/c of size and me having writers block I drafted up this pre-travel newsletter today using some language from a previous brochure on here .. and i thought I would share since the template was so great .. Hope it can help a bride to be in need .. I sanitized the pertinent info Newsletter.doc

Ok you girls are putting me to shame ... Im still trying to pull things together lol .. I still have 2 weeks before we leave to get it done

KerriJ ..go right ahead put us March brides to shame .. lol .. Everything looks great! Hope you have a great time

Did you find the luggage tags?

They were in 2 different places .. hidden lol my g/f actually put me on to them .. she put some pink ones in the gift bags at my bachelorette party .. after I had searched high and low for something like that

Hi, Ladies If you venture to your neighborhood Michaels down the $1 items aisle there are luggage tags in hard vinyl cases ... They also have metallic gold or silver luggage tags for $1 matching passport holder for $3 and luggage tags with initials on them for $2 my vistaprint idea was blah so I went with the $1 ones ..

Sighhhhhh so I got them in ..... and ... I dunno .. I prob should have figured the orange wasn't dark enough and went with black .... I dont think Im going to use them .. I dont know .. I'll post a pic tomorrow.

We got the English Beige .. He's wearing a white shirt and ivory tie

Do you have contact info for one, Lady D?

I was wondering how weddings planned for that weekend would make out with snow on the east coast .. glad everything worked out for you!!

It was shipped out on the 5th .. it was here in the US on the 8th to be delivered to us on the 9th

You can order pre-made pants ..its a drop down somewhere at the top .. We didn't enter any customizations .. only at the end when we selected pleats, etc .. FI's suit has the ticket pocket .. I didn't like it at first .. but its kinda cute..and the pants have the lining that come with it .. Quote: Originally Posted by luv2sun MSMOODYR - Thanks so much for posting your pictures! I spent 1.5 hours on the site last night deliberating about which color to order. We're planning to just order the pre-made size too since he just bought a new suit off the rack and it fit perfect. The only drawback was when I went to order just a pair of matching pants for the BM you have to enter in all the measurements, kind of silly when I just want to order a pre-made pair. They already emailed me back though and sent a link so I can order the pants to match the suit in a regular size, very impressed with their service so far. Thanks for sharing all the info ladies!

Hey Lady .. my something borrowed.. I'm still working on .. my something blue ..is my garter FI fav team is the UNC tarheels ..so I got a UNC garter .. my something new lol ummm everything I have on will be new so that better count for something

Hey Ladies .. As promised .. we got the suit in today ... It came in a Fed Ex bag sealed in another Fed Ex bag .sealed in a clear bag .. so dont be worried about it getting any type of water damage It is a very good quality linen .. I got the $99 Blend .. its a thicker, stiff linen .. My FI ordered a pre-made size and it fit him perfectly .... He's going to get his pants altered only b/c he wants them cuffed at the bottom .. The tip for ordering the pre-made size is to go with your size ...one of the groomsmens pants are alittle snug lol ..he ordered the size he thinks he should be in vs what he should be in lol Here are pics ..my iphone doenst have a flash soo .. this is English Beige which is a really nice taupey

Sorry ladies .. the snow is still affecting deliveries here .. we wont get it til Monday

Hey girls!! Today I bought FI's ring .. he picked it out when we went to the mall a few weeks ago .. I stopped in Helzberg on the way out and saw a similiar ring with more noticeable bling .. I took a pic and he agreed it was much nicer .. lucky for me its ~$150 cheaper heheh.. so tomorrow I have to take the 1st ring back, and get the other .. He has to get my band this week .. I had to send my e-ring back to be re-dipped or whatever they call it .. it was starting to get dull on the sides .. I thought it was just dirty but once the sales guy cleaned it and I put the new band on.. it looked awful .. I feel so naked without it .. but it should be back by Mon/Tues. and I should be shining on my big day lol My to do list .. is pending lol .. we have been snowed in since last Friday .. and I am waiting for shipments .. his suit, my shoes, my garter, paper lanterns, etc .. I cant even keep track anymore .. I did send my invites out before this last snow hit, so I will finally have my solid # .. I'm really tired of guesstimating ... All I have left is my OOT bags, programs, and favors, oh and spring clothes .. there is absolutely nothing yet in the malls here for warm weather .. every yr we go this same time, and I end up getting a few things from Target and ordering online at the last minute .. I opted out of a bridal shower .. but my bachelorette party is next Saturday and I sooooo can't wait

Thanks for sharing!

I saw some pics on tripadvisor .. one of them wasnt quite finished .. I dont remember how long ago the pics were .. but search on there first

Those are very pretty! Good job

Our suit would have been here on the 9th but the snow pushed the delivery back to tomorrow. We ordered on the 24th. Not custom made, picked the regular size from the drop down box. I'll post a pic tomorrow.

Thx for adding that ;-)

I got an email .. Air Jamaica is running a sale on their airfare .. starting @ 1am today to 10:59pm Feb. 10th

Im starting to get to the point ... I like a really full table so Im carrying like 1000 candles down ... and scratching off the LED party lights ... and trying to tear myself away from floral centerpieces

No I mean after the wedding, once they take it down ..who keeps track of it

glassware, or etc ..anything you to bring back with you how did you get it back after the wedding?
