i've also sewn a tote bag from a JoAnn's sewing class...quite easy once you get the hang of it. but i agree with Smith...you wouldn't be saving much at all because price for fabric adds up. and the project is time consuming. but it's ultimately up to you. if you have the time, passion, and money to make the bags yourself, then i'm sure everyone who receives them will definitely appreciate it!

i just love the background shots of your invites! where did you get the photo? was it a template vista already had?

Vistaprint is awesome. I just received my business cards and soon will be getting my save the date postcards! woohoo!

i would love to get my hands on those candle holders! let me know the price.

you should definitely give it a try since it's free. you simply pay for shipping and if you don't like it and wish to do it over again, i'm sure you can get it free again. i've just placed my order of free business cards and free postcards!

love this idea! looks great and cute! i'd be ecstatic to receive one!

what an awesome idea!? What was the average cost of one invitation?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and supportive words! I've been so upset over this, but feel more certain about our decision to have a destination wedding. I also came to the conclusion that if I did settle for something locally, I am sure I would regret not following through with our Jamaica wedding a few years after our wedding. I think it's so true that we need to put our foot down with my MIL and tell her that we've made our decision! She will continue to try to sway our decision if I give her the room. That was a great point. I'll let my fiance talk to her first! And I think she's reached the end of my road to join in on wedding dress shopping. Lol! Thanks again everyone for your support!

Yesterday I was dress shopping and invited my mom and sister to come along. My fiance only has brothers, so I made the kind gesture and invited his mom, my soon to be mother-in-law, to part take in the mom-daughter wedding dress shopping experience. Let's just call her initial M.

So the whole time there and on the way back home M kept questioning our wedding decision. After I told her our reasons, she continually insisted that we have a local wedding, near home. She could not support our idea at all. To make things worse, when we went dress shopping M didn't have very nice things to say, didn't even know how to bit her tongue and persisted on wearing something more traditional at a chuch. I felt like no matter what I said, what points I made...she coudln't understand why my fiance and I had decided to do something so "strange" and so far away.

Fortunately, my immediate family has been supportive of our destination wedding idea...they completely understand that it's our special day.

Has anyone delt with in-laws this? or anyone close to you? How do you cope?

What a wonderful and infomative thread! I hope i can get more points sooon so I can actually see the template! Thanks for sharing your great ideas Kate! Also I love your wedding photo!

You are so talented! I just wanted to play around with photoshop and decided to try out the 30 day free trial last night and is slowly getting the hang of it...but still so much to learn. I wanted to create save the date postcards with the block letters but can't seem to the the outline for the letters juts right. They look too pixelated and not sharp borders like yours. I know how to do everything else, but the outline of letters is what i get hung up on. Mind helping? i would greatly appreciate it if you could email me at .

Thanks for responding Morgan! I just love your idea and template! So since it's not posted on here any longer, the only way i could get it is through your website then, right? You were selling the website template, correct

so much detail. this was well planned out! i love love love it!

also i just found this website yesterday. they have some cute magnet ideas.

Save the Date Magnets | Save the Date Wedding Magnets - Pioneer Color

i would suggest you check out vista print today. they have a special offer now where you get some magnets for free. the offer ends tomorrow, though.

Hi Tracy,

I'm not quite sure what you are looking for. But here are some of sites I've searched for Passposrt/Boarding Pass ideas. Hope it helps!

Passport Save The Date - Aylee Bits

By the way...I haven't actually tried to make these myself yet.

Best luck to you!

Hi Again! Morgan you did an awesome job! With a lot of free time on my hands I would like to begin a workproject like this. A lot of people mention that they can access a brochure template posted from you...I can't seem to find that link...maybe I'm just too excited reading all the responses I over looked it. I did notice under your signature you have a link to your blog/website that show your work, which includes a cost. Is there a free template for the brochure on here? Could you please repost the link? I'm not sure whether or not I have enough points or not

Thanks!

this morning I received an email advertising that vistaprint is doing a special offer! 25 brochures for free! this special only lasts till tomorrow. thought i'd share the news.

too bad i only began my planning..would have definitely like to take advantage of this opportunity and suggest that you all do...if you're ready!
