Nov 08 brides

these are the pics i have. i like the wavy curls like these:

Oh and my hair is not as long as these girlz. I cut my hair real short about a week before we got engaged and it hasn't grown as much as i wanted it to. So it's a little passed my shoulders right now, i'm hoping for a growth spurt.

I don't see any orange in your hair either Celena. Your invites look great too!

 

As for a hair style, well I have been having a hard time with this. I have really curly hair (you can see it good in the one BD pic) and I have lots of hair. I don't want my hair all pulled back and tucked, pinned, twisted and whatever else. I finally have learned to live with my curls instead of hate them, so I want to have my curls for the wedding. I also don't want my hair all down either, as it id hot in the Dominican, and I don't want to have a sweaty neck and upper back. If I keep playing with my hair to cool off my neck (which I will) my hair will just get frizzy by the end of the night. We have played with it a bit, and I was hoping for a half up half down, but I'm not sure yet. I also have a tiara, and I don't want my hair pulled tight at the top, as I think it will look way better if I have some looser hair for it to sit on! KWIM?

Celina I dont think your hair looks orange either. I think it looks great sweetie!! and what the hell...oily M&Ms?? Yikes!!! Good to hear they had great customer service.

 

Holy crap Michelle, a dress fitting. Yikes! The thought of that is crazy!! Very exciting and pics pics pics next time!! Yeah!!!!

 

Havent heard anything yet on the job I am hoping early next week. Thanks for all of your support.

 

I am working on placecards and favor tags this weekend. My favors (the pizza cutters) arrived, they rule!!!!! Happy labor day all!!!

Danielle - I forgot to answer your question about when I was handing out the welcome books. So far everyone but 2 people will be going down together on one flight, and the other 2 will be down there the next day. With that said, we will just hand them out down there. If other people do end up booking and flying down 2 days before, then we will give them their stuff ahead of time. I am just going to put the welcome books in the OOT bags.

 

I got more done on them lastnight, but I am still waiting to find out whether anyone else is going to make it, or not before I finish off the rest of the stuff!

What information did you put into your welcome books?

 

I can't believe we are under 3 months away from our weddings!! EEP!

My wedding is 3 months from today!!! Ahhhhh!!!! I better get cracking, tomorrow is going to seem really scary seeing the 2 month mark under my name for the first time rather than just seeing it under everyone else's names LOL.

 

My welcome books will be like this:

Welcome letter

Timeline (once we have the final guest list)

Meet the Guests (waiting for final guest list)

Room Numbers (waiting for final guest list)

Resort Info

Resort Map

Photoshare

Word Scramble

In case you didn't notice, I changed my username! I was thinking about it for awhile, and finally did it.

You have such pretty curly hair, I think it would like nice with a half up do.

I keep seeing KWIM all over the place- what does this stand for?

Keep us posted on the job. Just think of all the BDW ladies you'll be able to help if you get it! What are you doing for placecards?

I was working on my wedding programs last night. I got some ideas on here and I was googling wedding programs. The only thing I want to change is the logo page. I wanted to use the logo that I used for our photostamps because the colors in that one match pretty close to the color of the booklet and ribbon that will be tying them together. For some reason I couldn't get it to insert into the word doc. I used a different logo, but I think it is too big and fills up the page too much. It will be printed on vellum paper. Then I will have two sheets of the ivory shimmer paper that I used for our invites. The only difference is it is paper and not cardstock. I still need to add FI's grandparents names to the "watching from above" part (that is what I borrowed from a BDW bride). I wanted to include my mom somehow, but I felt if I needed to include the grandparents too since I didn't want to just single her out. I have a rosary from her that I may wrap around my bouquet which could also count as my something old. I'm just not sure if it will look dumb since it is gold and everything else I will have will be silver. What do you think? I also thought about doing the picture charm, but the one I found online is pricey.

I'm attaching my program drafts. Let me know what you think. I think the logo is too big.
