What a nice painting but might I say I like the sig pic even better what a cute little mexican outfit your pup is wearing

Heidi, so sorry for you loss.

Great thread I definitly want a flower in my hair, thanks for the ideas!

Enjoy relax and enjoy the newest addition to your family!

Somewhere between 20-30 guests. Everyday I get more excited by the fact that our closest family and friends will be the ones to share our wedding with us.

I got them from Now & Forever - Contemporary Wedding Invitations and Accessories Here is a pic these start at 285.00 but once you order extra envelopes, a colored ink, extra reception cards (one to write TA's info on, and one to let people know to book asap if they want to come because the resort fills quickly) I was up to almost 500 bucks. UGH I was just so sick of thinking about it I orderd them. They were really nich though and people really did like them, but do beware mine cost me almost a dollar postage for each one maybe 90 something cents.

We spent way to much, the total was somewhere between $500-$550 for 75 invites including postage which looking back I should have gotten them cheaper. I was kind of in a jam and needed to order and get them out ASAP because our resort fills up so quickly and there are a few wedding the same week as mine. I spent a couple of hours looking on line and got so fed up that I said screw it and just went with the ones I thought looked nice, could fit all of our travel info on them, and were easiest to order online. I would not do this again though.

I think so, if what you mean is do I open each file/monogram seperatly than yes. I feel like such a dope, why the heck cant I figure this out? Thanks for your help. Right now if I try and put one of my monograms as my avator I have to add the whole zip file wich ofcourse is to big and doesnt work. SOOOO confused

Me Me, I'm not excited at all, in fact I really don't feel like making a bazillion appointments to try on dresses at all! I'm hoping I feel inspired once we get back from our site visit in a few weeks. It just seems at this point a PITA more than anything else. I think my big thing is I like to shop solo, I hate it when I get harassed in a store by employees and that is what wedding shopping is all about! I like to pick things out myself and to be left alone not be followed around like puppy dog by some girl. Sorry if thats harsh.

How do you save the monogram as an image if all your monograms are in one zipfile? I'm confused Adobe wont let me save it as an image?

Just tell her that you dont want to end up with a bridal party becuase it is a smaller wedding then you would have had at home and you dont want more people standing at the ceremony than sitting it would look akward. Tell her if you went ahead and had her as a bridesmaid than you would have to have a couple other people also. Thats what I told my close friends.

We leave in 3 weeks...Wohooo

Bitch away, I couldnt imagine how you feel I'm sure it must be exhausting on your body the last few weeks.

We sent our STD's out (got them super cheap through vistaprint) and than sent the invites out a month later. Our STD's were really useful because about half the people we have booked ended up booking before our invites even got out. We are also getting married in May and I thought it was kind of crazy to send the invites out sooooo soon but our resort fill up so quickly that we had to in order to assure that our guests could get rooms. I'm not sure how quickly your resort gets booked up, but its something you should think about. You have to think of a DW timeline a little bit differently than a normal wedding.

I do really love the coffe table books and the lay out of them verse the regular photo albums or put together scrap books so I say you do need it. I'm a picture nut though so who knows.

those are so cute

I forgot that you are not positive on Dreams yet. I'm sure you will be after your site visit GO DREAMS GO

I like A's color scheme better but D's layout best

Love them, you both looked like you had so much fun!

Oh I love them all, I think this round is some of the best. You two are just stunning you'd probably look great if it were one of those damn disposable cameras.

Oh boy that is upsetting. It would be one thing if he never offered in the first place but you cant offer something like that, tell the other family members they are all set, and than not follow through. I think you might need to say that nicely to him if you havent allready. Maybe forget the fact that he is mister money bags and put it in terms that he would relate to, like "I know this is a lot of money for you and we appreciate it, but we should book the flights now and pay the room balances off to insure that x y and z can definitly come before things get too booked up, if it is a matter of not having the time to do it, than we would be willing to book it if you want to give us your debit/cc #".

Oh I love the shot of you two all blury with the bouquet! You guys look so happy they are all good shots just post them all, all 2000 of them.
