As many others have stated..WOW. I love it, I'm excited to do my own, and I'm totally overwhelmed! You are the queen DIYer!
I love the idea of the pre-travel kit. When did you give that to your guests? Before or after the invites? Or after they RSVPed?
The brochure is exactly what I need to give to my guests, especially for several people in my family that will be flying out of the country for the first time.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post everything!

I sent them about 3 weeks before the wedding to those who can RSVP'd and booked.

At the wedding, I was teased mercilessly for sending people so much information ("another mailing from Rebecca?!?"). I loved it!

And I'm so glad you guys can make use of this stuff! I had such fun putting it together - now I just don't know what to do with my free time. I'm going to have to start a business on the side helping you guys with your weddings!

Wedding dinner menu cards – each one is personalized for each guest with their names, table number, and menu selection. The bottom of the card is perforated and tears off to be handed to the waiter so he brings the right stuff (and yes, actually, FI is having the crispy shrimp and the rack of lamb):

Our cake inspiration – ours will have pink roses instead of the red callas – and will be Tres Leches:

Our Guest Non-Book – it’s a plate that has a special pen – everyone signs, then you take it home, bake it and the marker becomes permanent. I does say not to use it for food – I assume acids and such will damage the marker. Came from Target!

Our Guest Book (from Hallmark) – so appropriate!

These are the inside pages. I borrowed the idea from someone else, and tweaked it to fit the album from Hallmark. I can’t remember who it was, but thank you SO much!

Becks,

Do you have the template for the guest books? I love this idea but am having the hardest time creating one like it and I haven't had any luck searching for one!

Thanks!
Jenn

I would have thought I'd included it. But I'm too lazy to go check. Here it is (again?)
