    My AMAZING and unique "THANK YOU CARDS" - UPDATE (with Pics)

    in Wedding Invitations, Passport Invitations, Boarding Pass Invitations, STDs, photos & website

    Posted

    I just made these for my guests as well! I have not received them yet, but I am very excited to give it to them!

    I ended up getting the minis, they went on sale for .75 again. SO I just had to get them.

    The shipping is what killed me though. It was $58!!!!

    So it is best to wait for a deal if you live in Canada for sure :)

    So since it takes forever to download 1 picture........lol you guys can check out my photographers page on facebook:

    NB Photography & Design (Abena Nsenga)

     

    She was so awesome! Pictures are very tireing let me tell you. It's hard to keep smiling for so many pictures (over 300)

     

    If you are thinking about Antigua.. do it! It was so amazing. Beverly the wedding coordinator and Lydia the reception lady are both absolutly amazing, and pulled everything off better then I imagined.

    Everything went so smoothly! But way too fast, and I hardly remember it all.

    Good thing I have tons of pictures and video to look back on.

     

    But yes please do check out my pictures on Facebook :)

     

    Good Luck Ladies!

    Yep I agree!

    We only did one per couple. Single people got their own.

    My bags are also (colorful) beach bags. My FI brother is traveling alone with his son, and I know he would not carry one around. So I ended up getting him a toiletry bag (I don't know what to call the mens version of a makeup bag lol)

     

    You just add 2 of each thing to the bag ex. Lip Balm, tylenol etc....

    Honoring a deceased family member

    That is a very nice idea!

     

    We have 5 people we will be honouring. So I just bought a collage frame, and made all of their pictures 4x6 and added them. I also added a starfish in the center of the whole frame.

    I think it turned out really nice. And everyone will be happy to see the pictures.

    I know that they will all be there in spirit as well :)

     

    I also included them into my speech......

    Before I finish I would just like to take some time to remember those who can't be with us today.

    Some whom the distance was too far, and others who will be looking down on us, who I know would have loved to be here. So if I could force you all to charge your glasses one last time, I'd like to propose a toast to absent family and our angels in heaven.

    What do I do?

    Then go on to say, that as loved ones you would still want them to be part of the union and festivities so you are having a party in the summer to celebrate which they will be invited too.

     

    P.S. I was almost in your shoes around christmas time to .Me and the FI were seriously thinking about canceling the DW to have a private ceremony in Barbados because it's what we really wanted. 

    Great Advice!

    we also put the clause in that we paid the deposit but not another cent until she gets her passport!

     

    The worst part is that she doesnt even like me, she wishes that her son was marring a 50's housewife that cooked and cleaned and brought him his pipe and slippers when he gets home, does this even exsist anymore? It is beyond me, there is no way in the city I live in that one person can stay home it takes two incomes to live, plus that isnt me I dont want to stay home!

     

    Oh well I keep telling myself that it will all work out the way it is supposed to. I can't believe that your wants spending money too, wow the nerve of some people!

    Well tell her to suck it up buttercup lol, her son loves you and thats all that matters!

    Be proud of yourself that you go to work everyday :)
