I honestly lost count, we invited about 250-275?? (includes kids and all the people we would've invited if we had a wedding here) So far we have about 180 who have responded yes or maybe to our preliminary RSVP that we sent with our STD's.

Yay, you got it!!! Tammy you do so much for us, we just wanted to show you and the fam our appreciation.. and we didn't want you to worry about cooking!

Christine, you don't have to answer if you are not comfortable, however I am curious, how much were your centerpeices? I'm trying to gage myself and I have no clue how much they are in PV. Thanks!

AAAHHH! I just sent Prisar an email for a quote! Hans is going to kill me! I really thought I could plan myself, but i just noticed she posted another wedding and it looked so nice! I let her know that we had already booked the location, band and photographer, so hopefully she'll give us a good deal.. ( I can dream right!)

Found another Dreams PV wedding on You tube YouTube - Ch. 2 - More Sunset Pics & Start of Reception (Jay's Intro) there are a total of 13 chapters! Click on this one and it will link you to the rest. They are not edited, they only have background music, but it can help those Dreams PV brides get a sense of the layout of the wedding.

Yay!!! This is a great excuse to show off my nephew and neice (goddaughter). I hope to find this suit for Julian in a bigger size, he'll be about 19 months by the time the wedding comes and will out grow this suit. My SIL bought it at Marshalls (Kenneth Cole) for $40! I love this dress my neice is wearing, but will need to find something that goes with the color scheme, but I'm sure she got this dress at Marshalls too! Nevaeh and Julian.. photog their mommy!

I emailed my bridesmaids with this.. I borrowed the poem (can't really remember where I found it.

Yay!! Finally!!!! Love the pics!

Yup.. Hans and I stayed there for one night. I thought is was so cute! I didn't see the Gallery Inn.. hmm maybe for our next trip, haha!

Beautiful!! Have you tried El Convento??

Awww how sweet!!! Happy Birthday Edna!

We won't have a chance to see it, but I guess thats a good thing, well all be suprised together, haha!

Thats great!!! Hmmm... How about stopping by the Mayan in the Marina and telling me what you think?? LOL.. Flowers shops?? Hair salons?? Have fun!!!

Although, I still think Bridget's idea above to use this paper for a bad around the invites is a great one! ooo thanks... I missed this earlier.. taking a look now!

They were from The White Aisle : Unique Wedding Favors and Invitations Here they are: Quote: Originally Posted by starchild Kash that is so funny because we went with White Aisle too and it came down to yours and the one we ended up picking, "Mexico".

lol.. thanks again.. okay, I won't used them to make the entire pocketfold.. you've all talked me out of it.. maybe just the bellyband, hehe! Sarah, I orded the sample of the brown metalic paper too! I'm so excited! I can FINALLY move on to my next project - invites! (well, untill we book the church that is, lol!)

I love your honesty Ladies!!! I’m going to try and design something myself but I’m having a hard time since all I have is Publisher and I’m not a computer techie J I also don’t think the color on my laptop is in sync. When I see my monogram here at work the green looks neon, ugh! So I’m sure you all think its neon green instead of a nice lime or kiwi green, lol. I’m at work so I can’t respond to you all individually, but to answer some questions… I do want to throw in turquoise (or aqua/teal, whatever name) into the mix. I saw a really cute pattern on a bag which had all three colors (chocolate, lime and “blueâ€) and I thought looked great together. I wouldn’t print on the paper, it would only be an accent either the belly band and or the background insert (I would print the on white/cream paper) and all the scraps can be used for tags for my starfish and/or palm fans. I should get the sample by the end of the week. Paula- I don’t think its velvet, although it does like it in the picture. I’ll let you know. I would actually prefer to make the card pocket out of a print and have a solid belly band, but that would be too much $$$. I wanted something like this but can’t find brown instead of black. Again, I’m going to try and design something myself, but I’m not sure if I’m better off purchasing the paper.

Thanks lissah (when did you change your screen name??) I orded some samples. They are pretty large sheets of I'll need to see how many invites I can get per sheet.. I'll see if I can justify the cost, lol!

Very nice!! Can't wait to see your formal invites!
