Then you make a Word document that size in page set up - choose custom size and enter in the dimensions. Then you basically need to fill in the page with whatever you want to print. I cant remember but I might have had to convert the Word document into a PDF. You can do that on Adobe's website. This did take some time, but was super easy to cut up the page and put the stickers on the glasses. I have so many left over, I can use them for our welcome letters and whatever else. I think it was buy 1, get 1 sheet free. Good luck, let me know if you have any other questions!!!! Hehe, thanks soooo much! You've been a huge help ) I've already finished my document! lol been working on it for a bit now! Thanks again!!!!!!!!

Ahhhhhh, you ROCK!!! and totally just made my day!!! just one question, I totally couldn't find what you ordered on the VistaPrint website, the Canadian or the US site...would you hate me if I asked you what exactly you ordered, I couldn't find anything called outdoor stickers! but also forgive me if it's way too easy of an answer, my excitement got ahead of me! lol Your Mugs look wicked!

Anyways, here is the link to the thread... it's another vistaprint miracle!! Amy's Personalized Travel Mugs & Shot Glasses ok I totally couldn't find outdoor stickers on the Vistaprint website, the Canadian or the American site?? did you actually find them? You know I only ask you because you are oh so efficient, lol. Tracy, I think I'm with everyone else when I'd only order Tylenol from a Canadian or Us site...just really nervous about quality control and packaging standards - you might think you have bought Tylenol, but you may receive some other "white powdery pill" ready for a party(if ya know what I mean *wink*wink* - Ok People, I know I'm totally paranoid but you never know!!!!!! Plus Customs is just ridiculous, you don't want to mess around with them!!!!

I can't see them ( and I tried clicking but nothing still came up ( Very excited to see them though, I'm sure it looks awesome!

Oh my Gosh, I didn't even this of the "Somethings".... so let's see what I have so far.... something old: have to say undies right now, lol but I should probably convert those to new for my wedding day! ugh more things to buy! something new: dress something borrowed: ring pillow, but I guess I'll have to find something to wear on me? something blue: it's going to be in the jewelry, cause I don't think I'm wearing a garter...but toe nails, I like that idea Michele!! And Meghan I'm with you on the tanning, I was exactly the same growing up, although you wouldn't know it now, I'm so pale I have a green tinge, blessed olive complexion! But two tanning sessions and I've been down south, and lost 10 pounds! lol I love how a good tan can make you look thinner!! haha I better start tanning now! I may look 40 pounds lighter by the time April comes around! I am the true sun worshiper, and yes I know it is bad, very very bad.

Well, that's the very short version of it all- but we are no longer together anymore. Mel- as for your dress, I would get re-measured, but I ordered from Parisian (same builiding as Cameo), and I am a street size 4. My dress (which oddly came in the same day my FI broke off our life together) was a 10. That is the same size as the sample, and it was even tight on me. Wedding gowns are not usually indicicative of your street size. Still, an 8 sounds stupid. Depending on the designer, sizes are super weird. Mine by the way was a Pronovias. Dress for sale! HA. I try to be funny when I am hurting. Anyways. Good luck to you all. OMG Christina I am so so sorry you have to go through this right now, especially after 10 years, and 3 months before. Try to take care of yourself and use whatever support system you can, hopefully you have some family here - make sure to lean on them if need be! I know it's hard to realize it now, but things do happen for a reason. I am speechless, keep your chin up and if you need anything please let us know! again, just remember to take care of yourself. Suzy )

Tracy!!!!!!!!! VaVaVa Vooooooooooom!!!!! Nice job!! the pics look awesome, your Fi is going to go Gaga over them!! Melidel, envy envy envy, I know I've said it before but I soooo envy that you're able to go back east before your wedding *sigh* Shortnsweet, it must get hard sometimes being away from each other a lot! (but maybe good sometimes too! lol) but I bet you can't wait till after the wedding when you have him for good!!! We haven't booked a second week yet, still back and forth about it, I think we'll probably end up eventually booking a second week, but prob at a different resort, so I might just wait and see what good seat sales are on at the time and then just forfeit a flight cost - it'd probably end up being cheaper anyway...when we initially booked I asked how much for 2 weeks and it was exactly double the cost... Plus, not much of a honeymoon with a 2 year old sharing a room!! lol We've already had a honeymoon, obviously!! lol but it would be nice to just chill the second week and not have to see a bunch of people you know!!! We'll see............... Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Ok from the top looking down onto the bouquet, I was thinking: not soooo bad....but looking from the bottom it definitely does not look real...the leaves, which are not visible from the top should have been flipped the other way...so at least you can't see the plastic veins and upside down faded fabric...I mean I can understand if they were visible beyond the flowers but you can't see them from the top of the bouquet! It's hard to say because pictures really are favorable to fake flowers, unfortunately, I hope you get something resolved to make you feel a little better about the whole situation ( Maybe you can just try putting more realistic leaves and get rid of the ones on there...it might help )

So so sorry to hear about your father Cara, it's a very hard thing to deal with, especially at this time that's supposed to be fun and exciting. He will want you to enjoy your day, Echo/Meghan is right, just take things one step at a time and before you know it your special day will be here. ) I lost my father as well, almost 10 years ago, and even still I think about him a lot...I have a bouquet frame with a picture of him in it - I do have an extra one you are welcome to, I know you probably haven't thought about it but if you'd like to see a pic just let me know. As far as OOT bags go there are a lot at Dollarama around town in canvas and jute in various colors I think they are all around $2 each, I had originally bought some and then changed my mind yet again!! lol So now I'm collecting some from Dollarama's around town, how many bags do you need?? Take care and use all the support around you that you need. ) Suzy Quote: Originally Posted by CaraW Thank you so much Echo. That's good advice, I will have to do that because I just keep thinking of all the things I have to do, and don't really even know where to start at this point. So if I take one thing at a time and get it done before I move onto the next task, that might work better for me right now. And I still have 3 months so I can take my time for most things. So first task I guess.... anyone know where I can find some good canvas tote bags around town? I need to get some for my OOT bags, I have some of the contents that I got a while ago, but no bags yet. I found some online at cheaptotes.com but the shipping is $35, and I figured if I could find some here that would save me a bit of money.

LOVE your centerpieces!!!!!! They look awesome! Makes me want to do some of my own...but I can't get into that! lol My Opinion, Court sucks in every country!! lol, not a fan of it at all, mind you I haven't ever had to go!! and hopefully won't have to in the future! I hope her mother definitely wises up and lets her go, this will be an amazing experience for her and she will resent her mother later for not letting her go, crossing my fingers and toes for you guys!! Good luck, and good job on the centerpieces!! They will look beautiful!

ME TOO!!!!! I love Saint Bernards!!!!!!!! Just would need a little bigger place to accommodate one!!!

Sasse, I think that's what we're going to do too!!! I'm excited, because at least we'll still get a dinner outside with beautiful scenery rather than in the restaurant, and not have to shell out another $4000 for the beach reception!!! YAY!!! It does look awesome, and then if you want to personalize it a little bit with some decorations it will be a lot easier than decorating restaurant tables. Then I think we'll just hit the courtyard bar and then the disco/club! FI just made fun of me cause I always call it the disco...but that's what the resort calls it!!! I thought it was cute! lol

Quote: Originally Posted by Angie1017 Oh wow, I didn't know about that! Much more affordable than the private beach party, although my heart is still set on that...this changes things! Ha ha, just what I need - more options! LOL Does anyone know if there is a 40 guest maximum for the semi private dinner there? As far as Patricia told me there is no minimum or maximum amount required for the semi-private dinner )

OMG, Shortnsweet!!!!!!!!! So sorry to hear you had to go through that! It's every pet owners worst nightmare, and I think everyone would have reacted the same way, animal lover or not. When protective instinct kicks in there's not much stopping us! We don't have any animals now, but we're both huge animal lovers, and have had cats and dogs, so I can totally understand your reaction! Now we're just kicked into overdrive pshyco over protectiveness with having a kid! lol Glad to hear that your pup will be oK in the end, and I agree with Meghan, I think doggy daycare is the bEst thing for her right now! Does your doggy daycare have a webcam that you can peek in on? Hope you all recover well from this incident, and any vent wedding related or not is welcome here, remember we are the most chattiest bunch!! )

I think I noticed you're in the US, so I bet there would be even more selection online for you...and better prices ) Good Luck! They are actually both from the sears website! My FMIL (the pink bottom pic with beading) was $169 CAD I think...

Quote: Originally Posted by Angie1017 I believe the Thai Beach Club is $100 per person for the private reception?

You can do a semi-private option at the Thai Beach Club, the menu is limited - not the large grill menu and it's only 1.5 hours like the a la carte dinners, so it's def not as elaborate as the private receptions, but if you don't want to eat inside at the restaurants and still want to keep things a little private it is an option, and like people have been saying, it is absolutely beautiful and the food is great...from what I hear, I haven't been there yet!! lol and the cost is $40-45 per person...

This is my Mom's dress, I picked it out, do not trust her at all!!!! lol She got the one in the darker color, I did let her choose the color! This is my FMIL dress:

Anyone looking for some good OOT bag goodies, I hit the Dollar Giant today and found some good deals!...everything under $1.25... Some things that caught my eye: 1. Dish wipes (they look like really thick double sided cloths, you just add water and the dish liquid is already there!! Good if you're giving travel mugs 20 per box but I forget if they were $1 or $1.25 per box) 2. Large bottles of Hand Sanitizer, 2 per pack (probably double or triple the amount of the 3 pack at Dollarama) and again can't remember if these were $1 or $1.25... 3. Gel Eye Masks, I think they were all Blue, $1.25 each, Good for BM's... That's all I can think of right now, I should have done a physical list and not a mental list!! lol

Funny thing, I was in a shoe store the other day and mentioned I was wearing flats with my dress... and the girl starts showing me a bunch of shoes that have heels on them! Most of them were fairly low wedges (compared to the others around them at least) but I would never have considered them to be flats!! Too much of a sale grab I think... plus I've already ordered my shoes so it was easy to blow here off And Suzy has a good point... at least a few of my friends have mentioned recently that their dresses all got stepped on by mistake and wound up being ripped and needing repairs Let's hope that none of us end up with the same fate until after all the pictures are done! Did you happen to call me about 20 mins ago from your home line? lol all the phones were in the bedroom and I didn't make it on time but I didn't recognize the # and no message?? Also, I sooooooooo didn't get to Dollarama today, looks like that adventure will be tomorrow!! And, I totally just ordered a coffee mug for Rene (FI to everyone else), free from Vistaprint, with our wedding date and what my new name is going to be on it, well our name together! Hehehe He should never forget our wedding anniversary now!! lol not when I serve him coffee in it every morning!!

Anybody in Calgary looking to split on some zipper badge holders for key card/tip holders?? I can buy 100 cheaper than buying 50 and I only need Maximum 40...so if anyone is willing to go in with me let me know... $12.65 Canadian + $10 USD shipping... here's the link: 100 Business ID Card Badge Holder w/ Zipper Vertical ZV on eBay.ca (item 260547055619 end time 03-Mar-10 22:57:59 EST) If anyone wants to go in the listing ends in 16 days I think, so just send me a pm ) Thanks Ladies!!

We will now probably be able to do a TTD, but we weren't going to just because it wasn't in the budget...or I just hadn't really though about it...but now that my Photographer SIL is coming, BIG YAY!!!!!, I think I'll be able to do a little TTD session too! which we're now totally stoked on! My dress was a huge budget dress, so I'll most likely use the same one...and from what I hear as long as your a little careful to not get it snagged on anything, the sand and the salt water actually cleans dresses up as good as new - that's what a lot of the gals have posted on here anyway...and because I didn't spend a whole lot on my dress I'm not too worried about it! TOO excited! I can't wait! Michele, LOVE the barefoot sandals, they are beautiful!!! Erin, I'm totally for next day hair do's and makeup, lol!! I think with a little clean up and maybe some hairspray the next day can be like a softer more subtle beautiful look...more natural and raw which will convey wonderfully on photos, plus photoshop is a wonderful thing to fix anything you don't like!!

Just wanted to let you all know that there had been a hold up at the border? maybe?, but we have finally received our swatches!! Ladytrunck, aka Jannae was gracious enough to forward on her samples to me in Canada, this was after US Thanksgiving...and I received them in the mail TODAY Feb 15, 2010 and the envelope wasn't even opened or anything! So a BIG THANKS to Jannae, I appreciate it very much!! Can't wait to sit down with FI to pick!!

Congrates on the job!!!! that's great and bonus, it's closer to home. And I am sure the FI would be more then will to help you out with the OOT bags since time is flying. We are having the semi private dinner at one of the restaurants on the resort. And then having a private beach party with our own private bar tender. The beach will be decorated with teki torch's. So I am in the mist of trying to buy a docking system that will be low of enough, not to $$ and not to heavy for travel. Any suggestions? Suzy, thank you for the comment on my out fits. I hope he likes them. I am sure he will. I am just so bloody nervous. I found a lady in Cornwall (hour away from me) who does these session. She is charging me $75 including the hotel. It's only half hour session, with no photo's just the whole cd. I have a gf who is into graphic designs so I'll get her to touch up some photo's. I figured since I wanted the photo's and I was on a tight budged, this would be perfect. Another $75 for hair and make up. $180 in total to get the pics developed at walmart and an album. All the new coming, Welcome. Glad to have you here with us.You all better be chatty lol! Meghan, I just love your hair pieces!!! Looks like the ones you twist in your hair, will you be doing that? I have a vail, I am not sure if I should just leave it like that, or if I should get something like you have for the front. I've already picked my hair sytle. Maybe I could get your girls advice, leave it with just the vail, or add something to the front? Tracy! that happens to me all the time, and most the time I just don't bother rewriting everything because I don't have the time!! As far as a docking system goes, you should probably look into something that has battery power, I know i was looking at one from the brand Skull Candy, and it was a pretty good price and you could either plug it in or have full battery power...I think you should go on the Future Shop Canada website and just check out what they have and see what price you're willing to pay...or even ebay...I LOVE ebay...it's my dirty little addiction! lol I liked the Skull Candy Dock because it was small and low profile so easy to pack...keep that in mind too! Great price on the Boudoir session! Looks like we can't get anything cheaper than $400 here, then there's the book, hair & makeup, then an outfit or two - it's sad to say but somewhere between having a baby and 10 years ago my lingerie supply has depleted drastically!!!! lol I do have 1 wicked pair of shoes to wear though...but that's about it!! lol Love your hair too!!! SOooooooo Sooooo nice, You'll look beautiful!!!!
