What pages are you/did you include on your DIY passport invitations?

 

I'm wanting to add 1 page which leads to me adding 4..  So looking for good pages to include.. (need 3)

 

So far I have the following in book order:

  • Cover Page
  • Picture / Bride Groom info
  • Formal Invitation Page
  • Resort Page
  • Bars at the Resort and times
  • Dining Options
  • Dining Options 2
  • Children Ammenities and Services
  • Travel Information (Our TA's info)
  • General Information (What to wear & the weather)
  • Schedule of Events
  • Back Page

 

So we have our outer cover with print on the front and back and 2 pages inside printed on front and back.

 

What pages are yall using? :o)

Ive seen some pictures of people putting in a couple puzzles into their passport books. Also a couple pages with pictures 'scrapbook style' of the parents and wedding party. :)

puzzles?.. never thought of that.. What kind?

 

Great idea about the bridal party! But we have a feeling one or two people may back out at the end, for the lack of saving money :-/ But I do plan on making a "facebook" look book type of thing to add all of the confirmed guests and a short bio, relation, etc for each person and add to the OOT bags. :o)

One thing I am playing with adding to our guest book table at our AHR, which could totally work in your passport, is a page each for "Things You May Not Know About Him/Her", with little tidbits about each of you, or "About Us"... since not all your guests would know little details. I incorporated that into a puzzle in our welcome books... things like, the first movie we watched together. Some easier stuff too, like name our pets. I am not sure how much that would fit for you though.

I am a teacher, so I put an information packet together about the country and region. You could do something on a smaller scale on a page. Or trivia.

In my classroom I have a daily "Did You Know?"... So I put a Wedding-themed "Did You Know" together as part of our one-month mail-out too. Things like, where certain traditions come from. Like why we wear wedding bands on our 4th finger left hand. Or the percentage of men who propose on bended knee.

Or wedding traditions around the world. This could be very cool if you include your family histories in them too.

Um...

You could add a couple engagement pictures, if you did those.

Did you want to include any note about photographs? I am not, but I have seen brides request, on a page, that wedding details be kept off facebook and other social media sites. Or to share pictures after the big day on shutterfly or whatever.

 

Or how about an RSVP page?

 

Hopefully some of those ideas helped! Good luck!

 Thanks for all the great advice!!..

 

I think I may do 2 pages for accomodations.. One for regular rooms and the other for the elegance club (adults only section).. One page to go, with all your great input now to make a decision...

Sorry, I didn't use Aylee's.. I tried her free one and even purchased  her other one.. But I didn't seem to like it to much so I created my own and then the wonderful Tova here helped me make my pages look amazing. They are still a work in progress since I'm planning to add these additional pages.

 

Try creating a forum under DIY Invites and call it "Help with Aylee's passport template"  or something like that. I believe many ladies used that one and should be a ton of help. :o)

You are most welcome!

Be sure to post pics when it is all done! I am sure a lot of ladies here would love to see them!

I stretched the Resort page into two.  It was the center of the book and having two pages gave more room for pictures and info about the resort.  I also added a page at the end with a short note from us with THANK YOU in big letters at the top.  I used that to mention we were having an AHR for those who couldn't join us in Mexico and that those invitations would be coming later.  Good luck with your Passports!  They were a lot more work than I realized but they were such a big hit and I was really happy I did them.

    • 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!
