Thought I would pass it along, I LOVED VistaPrint for my wedding stuff!

https://www.livingsocial.com/deals/746114?ref=share-link-post&rpi=124529424&rui=73985175

So sorry to those ladies who have posted awhile ago, I'm bad at checking back here on a normal basis.  Thank you for all the compliments.  I put together my survival kit at home, but everything else I put together once we got there.  It seemed to take up less space when I could pack it tight instead of worrying about crushing the bags.

Jenn4285 - all my labels in my bag were the stickers, if that helps

Aww you are so welcome!  It is an absolutely gorgeous site, and I know you will love it.  Thank you so much for the appreciation, and the well wishes!  I wish you the best of luck and a very happy wedding!!!

***This was during a tropical storm that hit, shows how bad it covered up the ceremony site at the time***

***This one gives you an idea of the size with all the people, we had 16 of us including myself & hubby***

AnnetteandEd - that was our ceremony location!!!  It actually doesn't have any official name other than Access #2.  It was beyond gorgeous, and we were so happy we picked it.  I'll see if I have any other photos to add to the others of the site!!  Congrats by the way, you will LOVE it there for your wedding!!

Next are the details!!

Hi Ladies!

Well, I guess a little late than never is good but I'm finally getting around to posting pictures of our wedding.  We got married in beautiful Siesta Key, Florida in April and I am happy to share all our details and pics!!

Let's start from the beginning!

Here is our gorgeous ceremony site before any set up:

I was just logging on to share the deal as well!  Glad you already got it out there Ms Kenya!  Happy Vistaprinting everyone!! 

Hi Ladies!!!  First - admins, if this is in the wrong spot I apologize.  It's not a typical post so I figured this would be the best spot.  My coordinator just let me know that someone is trying to take over her business information and basically steal the company name.  If you are looking in the Sarasota/Siesta Key area for weddings, please use this contact info if you want to get in touch with Siesta Key Events:

www.siestakeyeventsllc.com or www.siestakeyevents.net

(www.siestakeyevents.com is no longer the real site, as it was hacked)

The only true person you would speak with is Tammie Connor, and she can be

reached also at 941-456-9337. 

@emstypes. tnx for the info, yes i do see groupons here and there, but i think you are not allowed to combine the promotions...with it

Thanks Skygirl!  I started out by doing orders based on the emails I would get.  I would order one and two of a few things based on the deal, but I would also "design" something else that I thought about doing.  Then if you just leave the design in your account, you will eventually get an email with a deal to order it.  I came across a really awesome Groupon deal with really allowed me to make the remaining purchase of the bulk of the items.  Oh and for the image... if you do CRTL + ALT + PRTSC (print screen), it will take a snapshot of your screen.  Then I opened up paint and pasted the screen image.  Then I cropped out everything else until it was just the size of the image I needed.  Then I saved that as a jpeg file, which allowed me to put it where needed.  But most of the time, it was right on their products, so the image was available.  Good luck to you, hope you have fun with it!!

Aww that's horrible!  But so glad he's getting better!  I know exactly what you mean, our Lab was a family member, not just a pet.  I wish him an even speedier recovery, than it is now.

Hi danak71 and welcome to BDW!  You have definitely stumbled across the best site possible for help with your destination wedding!  I couldn't have done most of my wedding items without the wonderful help and ideas from other brides on this site.  Best of luck to you, and have fun with your planning!

P.S. Love the all white w/ purple accent, sounds very pretty!

I LOVE VistaPrint!  Here's what I got from them:

-Thank You Cards

-Small Stickers for envelope seals

-Matching Return Address Labels with Mr & Mrs on them for the thank you cards

-Beachy Letterhead Paper (ordered blank and then printed out our welcome letter on it)

-Magnets (I put "We partied with the McIntire Newleyweds in Siesta Key, FL!" with the date)

-Business Card Tags attached to OOT Bags thanking guests for traveling the distance

   ***Also used same card inside business card insert in welcome folder (since I got so many for free lol)

-Postcards with info to our shutterfly account (w/ logins) so guests can upload their pictures after

    ***Also added a "please refrain from facebook uploading" message on the back of the postcard

-Customized Notepads & Matching pens (kept using emails for a free pen & notepad, until I just made a final order for the rest of them with my groupon deal)

-Stickers for my First Aid Kits (Large rectangular, used on Johnson & Johnson kits)

-T-shirts for each guest (used a groupon, and got 35% off the tshirts in the same order!)

-Small stickers I attached to tags to tie around the t-shirts (rolled the tshirts, tied with a ribbon with the tag)

-T-shirts for us (Future Mrs, Bride, Maid of Honor & Mother of Bride)

-Totes - got a couple small customized totes... but only because they were free on other large orders I was doing, not the actual totes I'm using for my OOT bags

-Lawn sign to stick in the sand showing our names for the wedding (i don't think i'm taking it though, since it was a last minute add on and i don't really like it now)

Hope that helps!!!  I feel like I'm forgetting a few things, but then again this list is pretty long.  Good luck, and have fun on your
VistaPrint adventures!! 

Hey Jenny!  How much to ship the bride tank to 15101?  Oh, and how many "M" seals do you have?  Do you happen to have a picture of them?

Thanks!

I can't believe our month is right around the corner!!  23 days til we leave, and 25 til the big day!  I hope everyone is stress free these last few weeks, and all goes smoothly for you!  I finished my final DIY project yesterday, and now its just time to count the minutes.... 

No problem!  Its such a good deal... I'm looking to see what else I can order even though I already got all my stuff. 
It's a sickness... haha

Hey Ladies!

While browsing, I saw LivingSocial has a deal for $50 on VistaPrint for only $10!  There's 3 days remaining!  Here's the link:

Have fun!

We got our suits!  They're great!  We ordered them on February 16th, and received them on February 29th!  Speedy shipping!  We did custom orders, I do DEFINITELY recommend to go up in waist size if you do custom.  My fiance wears a 34, we ordered a 36 and its a little tight.  My brother wears a 32, and we ordered a 34 and its also a little tight.  But definitely doable!  We are having my fiance wear the full suit, and my brother will wear the same minus the jacket.  The linen shirts I got off www.weddingtropics.com for $54.50/each.  And I had a coupon code from retailmenot.com to get them even cheaper, plus only $10 shipping total.  My brother's suit looks different colors in the one picture but that's just because he was standing in a sunbeam... it really is the same color.  And I will probably have him wear the linen shirt without an undershirt so it really has a beachy feel.  We ordered them in Tropical English Beige, the $99 custom one.

very cute!
