Azul Sensatori Brides - POST HERE!

I'm super excited today... it's one year exactly until our big day!

 

For anyone that did Passport invites.. did you make them yourself? I'm really torn on making my own or ordering them. I'm just not sure how much work will really be involved... help!

welcome to the site Daniepps!!

Thank you!

BigHugeLabs: Do fun stuff with your photos

Lindz recommended the site, it was super easy to use!

Daliax - welcome to the site, and please just ask away...the girls on this thread are amazing and we all share just about everything so don't be shy!!

I made boarding pass save the dates and sent them out exactly one year before my wedding. I gave myself a couple of months to make them and it took me that long (designing, tweaking, cutting, gluing, adding, etc.) Let me tell you that it was a lot of work, a lot more than I anticipated. If you have the time and resource and patience then go for it.

After doing my save the dates from scratch I was in no way shape or form mentally able to do my Passport Invites by myself. I gladly hired someone that is doing them that actually worked out financially to be cheaper than me buying the supplies and time so that sold my FI.

LOL, after our STD's were done we both had burns and cuts on my hands for a week! We promptly showed them to people when they didn't believe we could have done that on our own

Wow - loads of new people today! Welcome everyone!

 

Sounds great Nicole - wow til 4am - that is a wedding done RIGHT

 

My advice is to keep working and reworking what you want until everything FEELS right. A couple months ago I was really down b/c the costs kept going up and up and nothing I did or requested seemed to be exactly what I wanted but I got creative and changed some things for the wedding (sit down meal and added a 4th salad course instead of BBQ buffet) and let go of other things and now I am happy as a clam!

 

Also, take all Trip Advisor posts with a grain of salt. There were some huge creeps that wanted their money back and kept posting awful reviews until their trip provider refunded some of their $$. So, I would listen more to past brides on this site - and they are all so positive. Of course there will be the occasional hiccup, but that's going to happen anywhere.

I did not do Passport invites b/c they looked soooo involved with the stamps and pictures. I made Boarding Pass Invites - I loved them but Amy is right - they took forever. But everyone I sent them to thought they were so clever- which made the 2 days of hell worth it

woop woop - I'm now a 'Full' member and have my little grey banner thing )

 

(I've waited ages for that instead of just the text! lol)

welcome back NICOLE!!! Congrats on being a MRS!!! Hope you had a great wedding cannot wait to hear your full review and see your beautiful pics!

I looked into getting the passport invites made for us, they quoted me $150 design fee and then each invite would be $5-$8. I'm just not sure if I'm over paying and could do them myself cheaper?
