I'm so excited this is my first post of my DIY! My camera is broken so I had to take the pics with my phone.

So, I copied a few of you brides out there and decided to send out "unofficial bridesmaid" packets. I sent out 6 total and they turned out great.

 

I wrote each girl a letter just letting them know why I'm lucky to have them a friend and how special they are to me. It was really cool to take the time and write these (I almost started crying!) and it really made me realize what it means to be a good friend.

I bought those 3D wedding stickers or bouquets/wedding dresses and decorated a plain card with them. Inside I created a smaller card that had the "top 5 reasons to be my unofficial bridesmaids" on it. I printed those cards, but I hand wrote the letter in pink ink.

Then I needed to figure out how to make a necklace inexpensively, yet nice.

 

So I found all the stuff at Michael's and made gold wishbone charm necklaces

I bought:

2 sets of Jolee' Charms - Each set came with the wishbone that had a tiny sworovski crystal in it ($4.99 each set - so $10 total for 6)

Chain to make each necklace 18" long (three packages of chain $2.99 each - total $9)

The crimpers (dont have a picture of them) - (one package $2.99)

Clasps/Hooks (one package was $2.99)

Organza bags to put them in (bag of 25 was $4.99)

I already had the needle nose pliers

And I had a 20% off entire order coupon, so total was about $25 for 6 necklaces - oh and this pretty much included the blank cards (I think those were only a few bucks)

 

here are the pics!

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
