Hello Ladies! I am so happy with how my garter belts turned out that I could not wait to share. I am really corny, so I wanted to incorporate some cheezzzy traditions into my wedding. What better than the bouquet and garter toss? Anyway, I decided to have a bit of fun with the garter belts and add a little touch that my FI would enjoy. He is the ULTIMATE NY Yankees fan. I work near a Yankees store in NYC and one day just happen to walk in looking for a cap for my son. I noticed these NYY earrings and immediately got the idea to sew them onto the garter belts I got to match my gown. Here is how they turned out. Tell me what you think! Garter Belt from David's Bridal $30 NY Yankees Earrings $6 ALL DONE!!!!!

No, I used the blank template from ayleebits.com and played around with the design. I used dingbats for the floral thingy on the sides (downloaded them from dafonts.com). Using a fond for "pictures" was so much better because you can change colors and size much easier. I created these in PowerPoint.

hellos ladies, I turn to you yet again for support. I will be making MIB invites and am having a hard time finding the following: tiny sand dollars tiny starfish Coconut Scent Oil Mailing boxes/or tubes Kraft Labels Kraft shread Most important - I need the wording for the invite. I have no clue where to begin with this part. Any help you provide will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, V

Hello Ladies, I am starting this thread hoping that past brides that have used HDC Photo would post their favorite pics. Many of the DR brides (to be) have booked HDC because of the great reviews they have received in the forum but all the pics that have been shared are all over the place making it hard for those of us who are still planning to find samples of their work (other than what is on their site) Anyway, I thought this would be a good idea...I hope you guys agree. Share your pics please..... Thanks, V

Thanks! I found the charms on the Oriental Trading Company website. They also come in silver. They have nice charms and eyelets. they were really cheap too $5 for 24 charms.

Just wanted to share that I did the same and bought my sashes, overlays and table clothe (for my cake table). I thgouth that the prices at Dreams Palm Beach (in Punta Cana) were ridiculous! You should check out cvlinens.com. They have great colors, great prices and ship fast. Great to work with. I wanted pintuck linens and they had the cheapest prices i could find out there. Hope this helps!

Bumping this up. Comments, anybody, somebody? I am so concerned that my guests are going to think these suck.... Opinions ladies. PLEEEEEEESE. Thanks, V

Hello Ladies, So happy that I am finally done with these. They were so fun to make and I am pretty happy with how they turned out. I made orange ones for my FI side and blue ones for my side. His family calls him by his middle name so I made his side with that name. On my side and our friends call him by his first name; they got the blue ones. These are the supplies I used: 1. Metallic cardstock and envelopes from http://paperandmore.com/. 2. Rotary Cutting Board 3. Scoring Bone 4. Double Sided Tape1/8 inch 5. Eyelets and Setting tools 6. Elmer’s Glue 7. Double Sided Satin Ribbon 8. Starfish Charm 9. Corner rounder punch I had these printed at Staples and it was really cheap and totally worth it! The colors came out really nice. Some Tips: 1. If the double sided tape does not keep your cardstock in place because it is too heavy, just apply a bit of plain old glue. It did wonders for me. 2. MAKE MOCK UPS!!!!! Before doing the real thing. It helps, trust me. So here they are, please let me know what you think:

Try oriental trading company. They have a few choices and they seem reasonable in price

I heard back from HDC and they said that the hotel got so many complaints they took the rule away. That was one thing I was ready to complain about ALLLL the way. I am still waiting to hear from Melani though. She has not responded to me yet.

Hi ladies, Yet once more I turn to you for assistance. I am done with my boarding pass STD's - I think they turned out OK but they are three pages. Now I need to decide if I should staple them together or use an eyelet to keep them together. I am really leaning to not doing any of the above because i feel the jacket will do a good job of keeping everything together. What do you guys think? Thansk, V

Ok, so because i am really short i wanted to find a wedge flip flop with some height. I have been looking for a while and recently saw they have a nice ivory pair on the David's Bridal site (but they only sell them in store). They are called "sprinkle" and the best thing is that they only cost $25. I have been calling the store closest to me every week trying to find them (s9nce they are new). Everything else i found on the web for a similar flip flop was about $50. i cant see paying that much for a pair of flip flops i am not going to wear again.

SOOOO LOVIN #2!!!!!

This is so nice! How much did you wind up paying for this custom logo?

THESE ARE GREAT! you did really good... i am sure you guests will love them

Thanks I never even considered that! I actually have to make some with a different first name for my FI (dont ask,long story) and I will change the colors so that i have two blue passes and one orange one. Thanks for the feedback!

Yes, I purchased the cardstock from paperandmore.com. I also bought gold cardstock for the jaket; both pearlscent

Hello ladies, I tried adding these to the DIY forum in hopes for tons of critique. So far only two posts. I am adding it to this forum to see if i have better luck.

Not sure what images you are looding for but sometimes they are not actually an image, its a font. Try dingbats on dafonts.com
