Hi ladies,

 

I have done a couple of my own DIY projects for this wedding, so I thought I would share and maybe it will give inspiration to someone! I never thought I was creative/talented enough for DIY, but it's amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it!

 

I started with my DIY invitations for the DW and the AHR: bought from Michaels and added my own coloured ribbons, seashells, flowers, etc to make personalized:

I DIY my own guest book and pen, was bought plain white by my MOH and FSIL, but I decorated it with our wedding color ribbons to match the invitations. I also used a seashell and glued a ribbon on and added some sand for holding the rings. My bouquets were not DIY, they were made by an etsy seller - jdleggans. I wish I would have found the DIY part of this forum beforehand though, because I think I could have made this bouquet myself and saved myself a little cash that way. Oh well! I love them!

My MOH also bought me a garter, but I wanted to make it more "beachy" so I added a seashell.

Here are some of my DIY (Vistaprint) purchases - all for free - only paid $30 for shipping:

I also bought some "I do" stickers on ebay and they will be my something blue! :)

And this is my favourite DIY so far, my t-shirts! After looking around for rhinestones at Michaels, and realizing how expensive and time consuming it would be, I asked a seller on etsy to make the transfers for me, but I picked out my shirts and ironed them on this weekend. I'm very happy with how they turned out! :)

Okay, well that's it for now! I hope you girls like it!bunny_4.gif

Hi there! Thanks! :) I only ordered one of those personalized totes for myself - it was vistaprints "one free tote, one free pen, one free...." email that they send out. You can do up all your free stuff - as long as it's not more than ten items, and then you just have to pay shipping. I got a free tote, pen, 250 business cards, 50 postcards, 25 magnets, free t-shirt, free mousepad - using their free email offer. If you want to get their free offers, you just have to sign up for an account (free), and they will send you emails with offers.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      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!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      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!
