Then include all the extra information, ie TA, prices, etc. on an extra sheet/card.

Don't stress yourself out to much! Most people will just be thrilled to see your wedding invitation, and as long as it as all the info, you're good to go!

I've seen it in every state I've lived in: Colorado, Ohio, Texas. So I feel pretty confident it's widely available. It'd most likely be on the bottom shelf in the spice aisle. Since it's a big box and one of a kind, they keep it lower. It's just so good!

I second this, Meredith. Simple is good! Truly, the only people who will notice the wording on your invites is you and FI. Most people just admire the overall look of the invite as a whole and don't pay attention to the wording. We spent sooo much time trying out different wording when we probably should have been doing something else!

Speaking of your invites, love them!!! They're very classy and bright. Did you go with the colors shown on Etsy or customize your own?

LOVE!!! Wow, good job I searched and searched for a local calligrapher to do our envelopes and never found one. I never even thought to look on Etsy! Yours are so beautiful!

Does anyone know if danniepps has left yet?

Yes, don’t mail anything down to Mexico. AS won’t accept packages anyways, it’s much safer to bring it all or buy stuff while down there.

I spent the month before my wedding laying everything out, packing and repacking and making a list of what was in which suitcase and who was bringing it down. I spread a few suitcases between some of my bridesmaids. I actually bought super cheap 3-piece hardshell luggage on clearance. Your bags get seriously tossed around so pack well, pack with cushioning etc. Nothing broke in my suitcases, then on the way back I just put the suitcases inside each other and came back with much less.

Great crafting and congrats on your new status!

Good plan! I’m sure you’ll do great 

It’s totally true! I’m going to pick some up next time I go to the grocery store

Love them!!!

Gorgeous! Like Wendy mentioned, I too looked for a calligrapher my invites but didn’t even find anyone that did it on Etsy that I liked… yours are perfect!

Linz, you are so on a roll girl! Your invites and pre-mailer were amazing. Good work! I cant wait to see how cute everything else is for your wedding!

 

Glad everyone who hasn't heard of it is going to try Old Bay. I love it on baked potatoes and chicken too. I've found it in NC, MA, and now Bermuda so I am sure New Orleans has it somewhere! Its the best on shrimp too - I even add it to tuna salad. :-)

 

I keep checking Claudia's website for my pro pics and still nothing - its been over 7 weeks - I am dying to see my slide show & wanted to show it to everyone this Saturday at the AHR.

Seriously?? That's such a bummer! I would be kinda frustrated to not have my photos to show peeps at the AHR...she must be super busy!

I'll make sure to keep this in mind when planning my AHR, because Claudia is my photographer too!

Maybe you just have soooooo many good pictures it's hard for her to narrow it down

It's my 150th Post I'm a Junior Member!

Bummer about the pictures. Can you email her and tell her you were really hoping to have them for your AHR? Displaying them could possibly bring her business and therefore motivate her.

Eeeek, 5 days!! And then you're done with planning! I can't wait to see pics of your AHR.

Congrats!

They are super nice... nothing compared to mine. I already sent mine and made them all by myself too. I almost pull my hair out making them all since I am no way near crafty or creative. Great Job! I should have asked you to make mine too
19 more days to go!!!!

Thanks!!! I am not mailing anything to Mexico then... the towels are really taking a lot of room than we have expected. I can't really divide the luggages between my family members and friends since they are all flying from different locations. We are the only one in Houston! I guess we have to figure out how many bags we can actually check in between two of us.

Congrats!

Chong - You can bring as much as you want, you just pay for it. Check the specifics on the airline you're flying. Ours were by number or by weight and we paid to bring them all by weight I think which ended up being cheaper.

 

I pre-packed all my luggage and weighed it and measured it and calculated out exactly how much it would be etc.
