karma: 3 |  Amy’s LONG Planning post *Mucho Pics*
I can’t believe it’s finally time for this post! I’ve been saving pictures throughout the past year, knowing how you all LOVE these final planning threads. I have to say that this forum has been nothing short of inspirational, supportive, and a constant source of fun and friendship. I don’t know what my day would be like without the companionship of you lovely ladies! I may actually get some work done….but what the heck…..you guys are more fun! Anyways….here is what the past year of planning has created! I’m posting it all a bit early (we leave next Saturday) just in case I needed to answer any questions for current planners  Enjoy!
I'll start from the beginning:  
Save the dates:
Purchased message in a bottle DIY kits from Invitation in a Bottle - Message in a Bottle Weddings, Parties, Custom Invitations and Business Marketing then bought extra sand and tiny shells. Printed a label on name tag size labels and put on the outside of the bottle. Tied with Raffia and mailed in boxes I also got from the website. I filled the boxes with shredded raffia and FI spray painted them in silver and blue 
Invites:
Ordered pocketfolds from cardsandpockets.com
Made templates for various sized inserts in Publisher
Printed on sparkly vellum
Made outside tie with heavy duty “belt making” silver ribbon and finished with “blinged” out white finger starfish   
More coming.......

Wow, I am really impressed. You really have done a great job pulling everything together. I love your guest book.
I wish my FI was as stylish as yours! I had to beg him to agree to tuck in his shirt.
You are going to have a really beautiful wedding!
