My Semi-DIY Wedding Invites: (template of postcard attached)

 

I bought these from Michael's (really cheap!, love the coupons!) and just jazzed them up a little bit. I used Vistaprint postcards as our RSVP's. Full instructions:

We ended up doing a Rehearsal and Rehearsal Dinner - and my Husband's parents wanted to do a "Groom's cake" that night for dessert. This is the cake topper (he loves fishing):

 

 

 

My Attire:

 

My dress was Casablanca and I got it on eBay for $250 - and had to have no alterations - NO KIDDING! It was perfect! Also, I wanted all Stargazer lillies for bouquets, aisle flowers, etc.

 

My favorite part of all my attire... the shoes!

 

 

Hair: I brought a pic, but I wasn't picky at all about what they did - and it turned out great! The hair flowers were my "borrowed" from a friend who got married in May.

 

My reception dress: (it was kind of a shorter version of my wedding dress)

 

 

Groom's Attire:

 

His suit was from the Banana Republic outlet and worked wonderfully...

 

More.....

Garter (and my something blue): www.letsdancegarters.com

 

FG Attire:

 

I found the tutu at Walmart (seriously!) that came with the headband. I bought a ballet leotard and added a flower pin equaling a super cute FG!!

 

 

BM Attire:

 

I picked the color and my BM's picked their own dresses... they are from VS and it worked out great, the colors were amazing! I had the BM's carry lime green parasols instead of flowers...

 

 

Ceremony:

 

I bought chair sashes (the cheapest I found: wedding linens direct home page), and blue/green tulle (Idea Ribbon- Wholesale organza bags Organza Ribbon Organza Bags wedding tulle accessories $.08 Each Start- POWERED BY WEB 2.0) for the beach set-up. We had stargazers lining the aisle as well.

 

 

Ceremony program: (template attached):

Reception Set-Up:

 

Place settings/Name Tags: I found the vases at Walmart for $1 and my Mom and I etched starfish on each one (you can't see it from the pic - etching set from Michael's). We filled them with 6 different color jellybeans Jelly Belly Candy Store - Candy, jelly beans, chocolate, gummy, licorice and more. and used lollipop sticks to attach the namecards to.

 

 

Cake: Toppers are from Classic, Elegant Wedding Invitations | Rexcraft.com, I brought the ribbon from home.

 

 

Lanterns: I bought 30 lanterns from Paper Lanterns, Party Supplies and Chinese Paper Lanterns - PaperLanternStore.com in white, blue, and green. We did LED throwies in them, one word of advice - use small binder clips for each throwie, if you only tape them they flicker and/or come loose and go out: http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...anterns-37079/

 

 

Menus: (template attached)

 

 

We also set up a table that had our guest book (a Mexico coffee table book), a memory frame (template attached) with pictures of loved ones not with us, and a 12" digital frame with pictures of friends and family at the wedding with us. Sorry I don't have pics of this yet!

 

I think that's pretty much it - there is some stuff missing just because I can't find the pics... we don't have our pro pics back yet but I wanted to get this out. Thank you to all of you who made this possible - you're the best! Let me knwo if you have questions ladies!

 

Love & Hugs,

 

Jo =)
