Okay.  AMAZING thread!!!  So much detail and you can tell you've really put a lot of money and time into everything.  Congrats Courtney - One more week for you!!!!!

Amazing planning thread.  I love how you have stuff for your dog throughout everything. That is just too cute!!

 

Great job girl!!  I am so excited for you.

Thanks ladies - all of the detail (good or bad) is a result of writing the planning thread as I was doing the planning.  It actually helped me keep track of what I had and what I needed.

 

Sharon99 - here are the documents you requested.  They are simply Word files so you can go in and change the font and shape colors and then just copy and paste in your logo.  I printed these out at work (where the color printer is much nicer than mine at home) on white card stock (50 sheets for $3.99 from Michaels)

My fiance/ husband is IN LOVE with this dog.  When Paul posted on facebook something about the ring, one of his friends replied back "How did you get the ring to stay on Presley's paw?".

 

So Paul knows about the stuffed dog for the rings, but the bouquet charm, cake topper, and card will all be a surprise for him.

 

In the beginning I thought my theme would be starfish, but it turned into a combination of dog, Asian, and starfish.  Oh well, I tried....

Courtney-- great job, you inspired me to include more of our dog in our wedding.  He's on our cake topper, as you can see, but I love the idea of having him on my bouquet.  You did such a great job on everything!

That's a very detailed planning thread! So awesome that you thought to include everything!! I really love how the dog is incorporated in the details!! Thanks for sharing!! And I'm hoping that things will be fine when you head down there (and that there's minimal damage from the weather, if any)!

Wow, this is by far the best, most helpful wedding planning thread I have ever read (and I have read a lot!)  Thanks for including so much detail.  It really is great to know about how much other brides are spending, makes me feel like what Im spending is right on track.
