Sarah

Welcome Bry! Seriously, let us know how we can help you. What do you have left to do? Dress, photographer, location, invites, decor...we can find stuff for you. Thanks so much for your service to our country. What a sacrifice...

I think it sounds great... Just a couple thoughts: 1. If you're expressing opinions about things, remember that others may have a differing opinion. We are all for expression of opinion around here, just be sure it's delivered in a courteous fashion. Sometimes people get their panties in a bunch around here when someone disagrees with them. 2. While we certainly don't have any taboo topics, we generally try to stay away from "hot button" issues since we all really want to stay friends... i.e. abortion, religion, politics. Count me in! I'll be able to participate & moderate

Cute idea Morgan! Quote: Originally Posted by Morgan I just googled "free vistaprint lables" and learned its "label." That's a word I get wrong all the time.

Now I just need to find a free deal. Done Actually, I had already changed it, then found this post. Sometimes I think that's my official mod duty- BDW spellcheck! lol I'm constantly changing titles, etc.. whenever I run into them.

I would ask Mariana (or Yessica) about it. Edyta had them at her wedding- they were kinda a gold/bamboo antique look... really pretty. I think if you search for her review the pics are in there. I want to say she paid like $15 each for them... something like that. I'm not sure though if she got them through Dreams or Maye Cortinas.

Wow- so close! It seems like you just started planning

Those are fantastic Melissa!

omg Lauren I don't think I've so thoroughly enjoyed watching ALL of someone's slideshow in a loooong time Your pics are awesome- so gorgeous and such great perspective on things! There are so many great shots, but I have to admit that you jumping in and hanging out in the pool are some of my faves. Everything was beautiful- you were a gorgeous bride!

Quote: Originally Posted by Mandy Wow, thanks, Sarah! This is amazing! I can't wait to start using it when I design my invites! Glad you like it... I'm really happy with how it came out

You know? I was DYING for a Juan fix! lol I haven't seen anything on here by him for a while.... ahhh... so much better Jessica you were absolutely breathtaking- your hair, the dress, the flower- it all was perfect. What a gorgeous bride! You and Jed are so happy together- you can just see the love and emotion in the photos. Your decor was spectacular! I love the red and your flowers. Wonderful!

Just wanted to let you all know that there are some new ones on my "current projects" page that aren't on the main monogram page yet... if you want one of those just list the bride & groom's name, and which one you want (if there's more than one). These are my latest faves...

Quote: Originally Posted by heidi&alex Thank you so much for the monogram, Sarah! I love it! I'm totally going to the donation button right now! I love the little Ainsleigh monograms... I already have a name picked out for when I have a girl. Would that be weird to get one done before I'm married and before I'm even TTC? lol... I suppose that would give you something to look forward to...lol Thanks Heidi

Quote: Originally Posted by Morgan I second the donation button idea. Quote: Originally Posted by BrittneyD Thanks so much for my monogram. I have another one that I want done, but it is not a design that is on your site. If I send it to you, can you see if you can make something similar? If so, where should I send it. I also second the donation button. You should be rewarded for your hard and creative work. Brittney- send me the link or a pic... I can probably replicate it (or at least do something really close...) Quote: Originally Posted by Yari You should totally do the donation button! Quote: Originally Posted by host do it, do it, do it!!! OK, OK, OK.... I added a donation button at the bottom of my monograms page. Please don't feel obligated to donate. However, if I do receive any donations I'll totally put the money back into making monograms by getting some of the fonts/dings I've been wanting to buy. There are some gorgeous calligraphy/scroll/floral dingbats that would make beautiful monograms. So there, if you want to donate...feel free, and I'll PM you a code for another monogram- to be used at any time, maybe once I get some more stuff online you'll see something else you want Big hugs, love you all!

If I made a logo but want it screenprinted, should I order something similar through you instead? Looks like Morgan beat me to the answer Quote: Originally Posted by host ok, i'm gonna be the wet blanket here... sarah i do not know how you are doing all these monograms for free...you should charge or at least have a doantion button on your website... They probably won't be free forever! Yeah, I suppose a donation button wouldn't be a bad idea. I literally am spending a couple hours a day on these now... lol I'll help out while I can Quote: Originally Posted by nylalany Does anyone know what color turquoise ( in RGB format #s) Sarah used in the first monogram of the green starfish with turquoise lettering? I'm having the hardest time finding a good turquoise! The turquoise is 0.153.204

Welcome Sheila! Another Michigan bride!

Welcome! I'm a Cabo bride, so of course I'm partial, but PV is beautiful too!

How fun! That underwater shot is really cool.

I guess I always consider the worst case scenario when making decisions like this. So... if you invite her, what's the worst that could happen? Is she unpleasant and you would have a bad time at your wedding because she was there? If so definitely DON'T invite her. If you DON'T invite her, what's the worst that would happen with your friends? Will they be really pissed? How important is that to you- or would they be understanding of the situation. I guess you have to weigh what's worse- how bad of a time she'd cause you (if she even shows up) against how bad it would hurt your friendships with the other girls if she's not invited. Personally, I had a "it's my way or the highway" approach to my wedding and I have no regrets. I didn't invite a bunch or random people just to have a bigger guest list and I'm really happy I only had the most important people in the world there on my special day. Just my $0.02...

Wow Lizzy, that setup is amazing. What a soothing romantic ambience. Definitely one of my faves so far. Maggie is sensational, and she and Tadd look so happy and in love. Can't wait to see more!

Even more sorry that Jeff wasn't as rich as Jake! lol

omg that is hilarious! We actually were watching a show yesterday about Rappers' wives (I think it was on VH1). I actually was talking to Jeff about what it must be like to be married to a rapper. That is hilarious! Dreams are sooo wierd. My strangest, yet most vivid dream, was a couple months ago. I dreamed that Jeff & I were driving somewhere and he turns to me and says "I'm Jake Gyllenhaal". Really matter-of-factly. I was like "WHat? You can't be Jacke Gyllenhaal? You're Jeff?" And he says "Yes, isn't it a good cover up? I've finally found a way to get the paparrazzi to leave me alone." So then I said "Well what about your sister Maggie" and he says "She's disguised as Christal" (Jeff's sister). It was sooooo strange and really vivid. We went on to go to all these hollywood parties where I met a bunch of famous people... wierd.

It's from Art Van, a local furniture store. Yari- love your pool! And I cracked up at your laptop that you could see BDW on... too funny. Rebecca- your TV setup is sweet! I'd love a flat screen. We went with the projector setup in our basement instead. Jealous! Tammy, your kitchen is the bomb. Love those cabinets

First of all, welcome! Some of us did site visits, some not. You can find tons of info on Cancun, RM, PV, and Cabo on this forum. Search around and think of your priorities for a place to get married... All Inclusive or not, Kids or not, etc. Spend some time reading reviews, looking at pictures, you'll find you quickly get a feel for what you like.

I wish you were going too Ann... poop. Well, next year you can come and bring Nuggett. OK, I posted some on the first page and here are a few more from today.
