Thanks ladydi and happy Dress Hunting! Here's to finding the dress of your dreams. You got it Chelsea ;-) Thanks a bunch The door hangers for US was a must! I look at it as yet another photo op ;-) while we are getting ready! The DND signs for our guest was just extra as I have some paper to get rid of lol. As you figure all hotels come with DND signs and since I already have the tools (paper, & work printer) it's not costing me a thing. As far as cutting the whole, I will use my Xacto knife to slit it on one side (to be ready for any door) and then I have a 2' round hole punch. If you are really great with the Xacto you can simply cut around the inside circle but make sure you have a work/cutting pad to do this. Hope this helps. Thanks beatyea and trust me I'm not creative at all.. Most of my inspiration and templates came from this site. I'm not the person that can initially create something but once I see it, I can carry it out. Let me know if you need any templates or help with something.

I think it think it is very pretty and two out of 3 yes isn't bad;-) Can you say YES with no regrets? If so you got a winner...

Well ladies, It's Friday evening and I'm taking advantage of a quiet house (FI out the guys, & my soon to be 11yr old on Monday is with his grandma and aunt getting spoiled). So as always I have to preface things by saying "these pictures are from my iphone ;-) Nevertheless, here are OUR DND signs (for FI & I), I will print the ones for the guest next week. Before After: with a little bling (the same color as our Monogrammed cake-topper). Still have to trim & cut Here are the sleeves to hold our Pre-Travel info. The butterflies vary on the outside & the bling alternate on the inside. inside

ladydi1844, please don't compare yourself to each of us because you will find yourself going crazy, adding and deleting stuff. We each have our own vision while gaining helpful and much needed insight on this forum. For me, I had a personal deadline to get the majority of stuff underwraps before my son started school... some have grad school (thank God that is way over for me), etc... So take your time! Envision and talk to FI about what the two of you want and then go from there. WE are always here to help you. Quote: Originally Posted by ladydi1844 Thanks so much.

I really still don't know who is coming so I am focusing on my dress and colors and I will put stuff together once I know who is coming. i totally chintzed on the save the dates and invitations- I just sent an email invite lol. I will send a welcome letter with some stuff when i know people are coming- i just have a feeling it's going to be family so I didn't want to put all the effort into it. Is that horrible ? Anyway right now I am stressing about locations but I am learning so much from you. I will definitely pay it forward if I ever do anything lol.

email me after your events! I'll send you what I sent to Janina. But for now, prepare for your FAB evening!

I am so excited for you! Here's to a wonderful and eventful evening for you and your FI!

We've chosen the Superior Hros D'Ouevres along with the Caribbean Buffet or was it Tex-Mex.. Hmmm gotta check my emails LOL

Yeah those two things are on my list but I have Sarah reserved for Jan 5th just in case. I'm tired of DIYing and quickly reverting back to my old self which is "there are people out there that was born to do this stuff... so I'll pay, for their expertise"

Simply Stunning R~ Simply stunning!

Thanks Chelsea ;-) my fellow Pgh-TX and Jewelry Designer for life ;-)

Done check your PM!

Not at all! I would contact her right away! I will pm you both emails that I have... give me a second

I don't think it's too much but then again I'm not marrying you Okay it's Friday LOL. If I was giving out bags before traveling, I would want to do something small upon arrival. But the logical/financial part of me would say "Well what was the purpose for giving out the bags prior to"?" If you don't have to incur extra luggage fees then have at! But if you do, you may want to rethink somethings. Quote: Originally Posted by YWS2012 Coco yes I still using the beach bags, but were giving them out at home during the Meet & Greet..I still want them to have something once they arrived.. My Fi said I'm going over board...LOL I just want our guest to feel special and know we are glad to have them with us. you don't it to much

Great job! And thanks for posting along with the shoutouts ;-) are you no longer using your beach bags that you found?

Thanks so much! I knew yesterday when getting the mail what it was. (it's the smallest thing besided my garter) that I ordered. It took a while to open it, but when I did my heart was at rest. Thanks for the support ladies because I never saw myself getting married without my bestie. She was with me on the nite that I met my FI in March of 09' A few months later, that very same man who became a good friend was there with me hour after hour at the hospital. July 5, 2009 is when she was called home. FI was there not only for me but for her family as well and from there we grew.

beatyea, These came out really well! I love how you attached the card with raffia. WE are so innovative Brides to be ;-) Great Job

It's hard to say until you contact her. I haven't seen her name before so she maybe your MP "consultant" if you will (to book your locations, answer questions etc.) in preparation or your actual coord that will be with you on the day of your wedding. However; the only sure way to know is to contact her. This way at least you will get a feel for her response time. Best of luck to you

Thank you

Your the best Jamie5280 Thanks you ;-)

What's pinterest? Since wedding planning I'm behind on Facebook LOL

Thanks Summer12

Hola Chicas, Well remember a couple of post back (wow there's been so many lol:-) where I was a little sad because (although necessary to order) I had just ordered our memorial picture charms for my bouquet? Well it's here. Humbled and blessed to be able to still be present on this earth, my heart is heavy but I am so glad that I choose the vendor as she was so sweet to work with and we have a beautiful necklace which will also be a bouquet charm (it's removable) for our wedding day. Here is it: 1pic how it hangs naturally. 2nd spread out back

I bet that he heard through the great vine that you were getting married at MP LOL Wow this is too crazy! Ladies, we must make sure that Jamie5280 wedding rocks... I'm just saying!

That's what I'm doing for Ivan. Plus for us it just made since, especially because we rise early for out TTD session the next day and he's transporting us.
