Nikki's Planning Pics - 12-5-09 wedding in PV

Well, I was married December 5th and finally doing my planning post! Whoops! Anyways, this forum has been a complete life saver to me! Almost all of the the ideas for my wedding has come this forum and I just wanted to say THANK YOU!! I wanted to share what I ended up doing in case it might help someone else with their planning. Thanks to everyone who I “borrowed†from – I didn’t write down all the names but know that Andi, Lauren, Marie-Sam, Kate, and Mel were just a few whose ideas I used  Thanks to all of those I didn’t mention too! The PV brides in general were a huge help and I loved the PV forum!

I sent out save the dates magnets from Vista print before I got into this forum so they don’t really follow my “theme†like the rest of the projects. I don’t have a pic of them either  so on to the next project!

I think the passports were my first big project. I did them as a mailing to everyone to tell them about the area, what we had planned, hotels, etc.

Then I started working on a bunch of DIY projects for the OOT bags and wedding itself.

Matchbooks – I got the idea for these from the Offbeat Bride website:

Here are the napkins – ordered these on ebay:

Invites I made myself:

Table numbers:

Maraca tags to go with my wonderful maracas from Mishka  More on those to come in Wedding Review!

Drink Menu:

Luggage tags – printed everyones name and address on back and sent them in one of my brochures (see below!) Ordered these off ebay as well.

Meet the Guests Brochure – boy this was a pain but I think it was really appreciated by the guests.

Welcome Books for each condo (we all stayed in same complex) – had everyones room numbers, condo phone numbers, maps, event schedule, etc. These were a lifesaver!

Welcome Bags – got the pink ones at Target and orange ones at Walmart:

Welcome Bag Contents:

Chapstick:

Cards:

First Aid Kit:

Mini Tequila:

Koozies – design #1 – from ebay:

Koozies – design #2 – from ebay:

Rest of OOT bag contents – purchased items:

Door hangers:

Tip holders – ordered cases/lanyards from ebay:

Taxi cards for guests to give to taxi drivers so they got to the right place! Front had where were going, phone #, etc. and back had where to take them back to  Thisis the envelope I put them in tied in sets of 5 or so with a ribbon for each place we went in the wedding. For some reason, I don’t have a picture of the actual cards but they are business card size printed on my computer.

Photoshare cards – this worked out well – everyone uploaded their pics to the site 

Edited: Taking out this pic since it has all our pw info on it Sorry!

Frisbees:

Personal Water:

Fans – got from Michaels:

Mints:

Kids OOT buckets:

Brochure #1: Had map I made, map I brought from PV, letter and an airport brochure.

Brochure #2: Had cell phone directory, luggage tag, meet the guests, and brochure on PV:

Cold Feet Socks – ordered the label template online. I had a family member take these to him while he was getting ready.

Welcome Dinner Boarding passes – these were fun to make – my favorite DIY:

There was one pass per person and then an RSVP pass (all different designs) that the middle part was torn off to send in as a postcard.

Welcome Dinner placecards- ended up putting these in the forks since dinner was right on beach and was breezy.

Pashminas:
