Thank you for posting these, they are cute! I just ordered some from their online store, even though I don't even have invites to mail yet!

Glad that your moment has passed. I know where you were coming from though. We are getting married on board a cruise and I keep getting the "what, you didn't book a suite for your wedding??!" Nope, we booked an inside room, not even a window, let alone a balcony.

I have been going back and forth regarding sending the RSVP cards. Since we aren't doing a traditional, formal wedding, I was hoping I might be able to skip the RSVP cards, especially if they don't get used.

Are you referring to the cost of the cruise? If so, it is true that the kids pay the same price as adults.

That paper composite flower is really neat! I like it a lot.

I just spent about a week reading this thread from the beginning. All 99 pages!! And wow, you gals are great. I am a curvy, chunky chic too. My wedding is Dec 3, 2011 and I got engaged in April this year. I have been saying since April that I will get serious and lose weight fast and well, you know how that goes, right?! I've lost like 4 pounds since then. I don't want to go try on dresses, thinking that I will feel miserable about myself. I am currently wearing street clothes about size 18W-20W. The beginning of this year, I was at the heaviest weight I've ever weighed on the scale, which I realized when I couldn't even zipper up my fat jeans. Since Jan, I am down 28 pounds, but I haven't lost much lately. Reading this thread has put some perspective on loving myself as is. And I do for the most part. I just hate seeing myself in photos. I relate to all that you guys talk about. back-crack, chub rub, you name it, i've suffered it too! So glad to have found my chubby sisters! Hope some of you are still around here!

This story sounds so much like something my future SIL went through with her wedding last year! I'd love to know how things are going. I know that I would not have been as good as you, to tell FI that he could invite her if he wanted to. The outcome was good for you, but I don't know if I'd take that chance! You're a good person!

Most of this list is "so me"! Love it.

Oh man... that's bad. Poor lady, wonder if she knows she has a problem!!!!!

Things like this just show you who you can cross off your real friends list.

I am happy to see this thread, and to know that someone else feels the way that I do. I'm not 40, but this is going to be my second wedding, but fiance's first. I was feeling akward about everything at first, but then you know what... I do want a wonderful wedding. (and not to mention that I didn't plan even one detail for my first wedding... didn't even get to pick the dress) Bottom line is, don't feel akward or too old or anything else. You deserve to have a wedding day that you can smile back on. If you would rather wear jeans, do it, or if you dream of Cinderella's ball gown, wear that! It's all about you and the love you will share with your spouse that day.

wow what a dress! hahaha

Great job, I am noting these for when I am ready to do mine!

You make creating these sound so easy and yet look so hard!

Those look really nice as well. The linen sure does give a nice touch.

You've got a PM!

I just bought this dvd to try.

I am glad to read this! I thought that I was running so behind on everything, but maybe not! YAY

You've got talent!! Did you design your avatar/icon next to your username? I love it! Did you find the clip art to use, such as the seahorse or flowers?

Do you have any other details about the dress you are selling?

Thanks for that link, there are some really cute things there that I have not seen in the store.

Great job, they do look very professional! I like how you got the stamp to coordinate with the invitation.

I wouldn't have thought about this, but I sure will now! Looks great!

Your invitations came out beautiful!! Thanks for the detailed pictures and descriptions too. I will be trying my hand at something similar when we need our invites.

I love those! Raffia and starfish was a great touch on the outside. It sets the whole invite off so well.
