You go girl! Soak it all in...and have a glass of wine while you're at it!

That looks like an awesome location. Congrats on picking a site!

I just realized that I never posted the final product. I ended up using a monogram for the outside. I know it's not technically "proper" but I really don't care because I couldn't come up with anything else and I really liked the look of the "s" initial on the front. The monogram is attached to the other cardstock and finally to the ribbon underneath with four brads at the corners, so it matches the rest of the invitation...

I don't think you can remind people "too much" about getting their passports.

Thanks for the tips Sol! We look forward to hearing more from you. Your work is absolutely phenomenal, by the way:)

Oh Ann this sucks! I'm sorry you're dealing with this right now. What a PITA! At least you're able to make light of it and are fortunate to be able to rearrange your work to be around for repairs. I'm crossing my fingers for you that everything gets done quickly and smoothly!

Hmmm *scratches head* I don't think mine has shown up yet either Tammy. I'm sure Ann just mailed our late...lol

rofl- I think there's a pic of me licking that pillow somewhere...lol

These look great Jen! I'd do red and turqoise, that way it carries your theme through the dinner:) Fantastic job!

Awesome shoes Leigh.... ....Ooooh, oooh, oooh, I know that pillow! lol

Thanks Anny! :Update: Jeff called to order them and decided to go with the Platinum band for himself- yay! I tried to talk him into Platinum in the first place, especially since I'm spending the $$, but he didn't think it was necessary. One of his coworkers and the saleslady talked him into it. I'm so happy- he'll love it!

Yeah, Tammy you're waaaaaayyy ahead of me. I'm kinda doing everything at the last minute. Which is probably just as well, since I just had ANOTHER room of mine cancel. I swear that if one more person cancels I won't be getting married, I'll be in jail because I will KILL them!

Those are both really cute Ann, and great heel heights. I think I tend to lean more toward the "bling" so probably like the second pair better. I still haven't found "the one" you know? I think this is harder than finding the dress!

I dragged my FI out yesterday (we were both not feeling too great from St Patricks) and we drove an hour to this ring place where my friend got her bands. I was stupid and should have called ahead, but it turned out they are closed on Sundays!! Aaah. Now I have to put it off another week and make him go shopping next weekend. Oh no Jen, that sucks! Well, at least you guys got a road trip together out of it. Hopefully you had a good time anyway! Good luck next weekend:)

That's the one I would have chosen Ann, great pick! I love the detail on the top:)

I've done two site visits, but they were really just excuses to go on vacation. We did get alot done while we were there, but it's not really necessary. We just wanted to confirm that the location we thought we wanted was really the right way to go, and went the second time because we got a free site visit from our room block.

That's a great idea Natalie! I love Lill bags!

Ann, did you find a purse yet? I ordered this one...I think it was like $70 at Endless.com. It's kinda hard to tell in the pic, but it's a ruffled floaty material with beads all along the ruffled edges and sequins inbetween the ruffles. You can use it as a clutch without the strap. I also ordered this one for the wedding week, it was so cute I couldn't resist!

Nicole those are sooo cute! Let me know if they are comfortable...I might try them!

This is kinda what my ering looks like, except my center stone is different, and it's not an eternity band.

Tacori is just a brand. I probably should have said Tacori, IN platinum! lol I'm just selfish and always wanted a Tacori ring...I never really said much about it, but Jeff really pays attention! That's what my e-ring is... Tacori (Official)

I thought you were done shopping after finding those awesome silk shoes? lol Those are wild! Those are cute. However, as much as I'd like to get some nice expensive shoes for the wedding, my bank account tells me otherwise. I'm hemorrhaging money today- see earlier post about ordering wedding bands, lol. I'm looking in the $100 or less category I think. The search continues, I'll keep my eyes open for you too. I want primarily champagne color, maybe red accents, maybe not. All red would be ok too if it was the right shoe...

These are fun! OK, I HAVE to stop shopping! lol I keep buying soooo much stuff. I seriously need help...hehe
