You, Sarah, Ann and all the other DIY girls are just amazing. I have no idea how you do the things you do, it's just crazy. You DIY girls should really go into business together and make some moola for poor schmucks like me who can't even draw stick figures. Anny I really, really love these. -Glenda Thanx Glen!!! I will send you one 'cause you're comming!! right? hahahaha

I'm serious, I just love your invites! Amy did you select the kind of paper you were printing on? you have to do it on the printer settings.. otherwise the ink comes off sometimes..

Glenda congratulations!!!! Of course we didn't make a mistake!! you're awesome!!!

Thanka Natasha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!!! I want them!!!

Quote: Originally Posted by amyh Those are AMAZING!!!! I love them... I swear, I am copying all your ideas! Did you print them on the HP Color Laser Printer?? I bought the sheets at hobby lobby and I printed everything on the HP laser printer the envelopes design is a sheet I bought but the vellum paper is the same design and I just scanned it and printed on vellum on my color laser printer (well it's not mine, it's work's printer hahahah)

I'm having my hair and makeup done by a guy who's comming to the hotel.. I already did a trial with him and I liked him.. he's charging me $350 'cause he's going to be there from before the ceremony though the reception he will change my makeup when it's darker and stuff.. his name is beto.. his hotmail address is betoreiss

I'm doing the embossed paper for my programs and I have total sympathy (and awe) for you for doing these- it's a huge PITA, isn't it!? But, well worth it in the end. And, how cool that you get money for your bridal shower in mexico- maybe I should tell my guests that's what I want instead of a bunch of miscellaneous kitchen gadgets that I'll never use! lol I wish I could have made my bridal shower invites, but alas, my FMIL wouldn't hear of it- she said I'm doing too much already so my shower is officially hands-off! Anyway, girl- you rock! Those are the coolest shower invitations I've ever seen...maybe the best invitations in general! Yeah I love embossing but it takes too much time!!! I wish I had an embossing machine or something to do it fast hahahaha it's a PITA but you're right, totally worth it! This is my shower hosted by my mom so I decided to help her with the invitations but I'm still struggling to "help" my friends with the shower they're having for me 'cause the one that chose to make the invites always comes up with something funky and they're all scared hahahahaha they're having a luau party for me and she wants to do a drawing of a hula girl and put my face.. sounds good but I don't know how's it gonna look hahahahaha thanx a lot for the comments Sarah! and everyone else! I hope everyone likes them as much as you did!! and Sarah you're still the official BDW Martha Stewart!!!

Quote: Originally Posted by akh ok, i think you're going to have to give a step-by-step on how to recreate these! I promisse I will!! tommorrow that I wont come to work (woohooo) it was really easy but time consuming

Quote: Originally Posted by mgreen Great job Anny, how long did it take you to make those? WOW... I'm guesing alot of work went into those. Your guests will be thrilled I take like 6 minutes to emboss (?) each paper... then I have to cut the envelope and then fold it and then glue it... then cut the red cards.. OMG it's harder than I thought.. I really really HATEEEE to cut paper.. hahahaha I HATE it.. but I'm almost done.. only 60 more cards to emboss hahahaha

I've been soooooooo busy doing these.. take a look.. These are envelopes, 'cause they give you money on bridal showers here in Mexico so I decided to make an envelope with each of the guest's names so they can use it to put the money... I scanned the envelope sheet and changed the colors and printed it on vellum paper, I loved how it turned out!!

Christine you're hot!!!!! I want my BD pics!!!

Welcome christina!!! I'm also getting married in cancun on 777!!! Oh and my name is Ana Cristina hehehe where are you getting married?

Amazing pictures!!!!!! trully amazing!! I have 2 questions.. where did you get your panties? and where did you get the cake knife?? it's really cute!!

Heidi I don't know what to say.. it's something hard to forget ot to get over but I'm sure things will get better and you'll have a beautiful healthy baby

I haven't been asked for invitations but I've had people that assume they are invited, telling me how they've never been to cancun and they're going to have a great time there.. I just nodded... By now they should know they're not invited hahahahahaha

I think 2 liters is great! I only drink 2 or 3 glases.. I need to drink more water..

Your pictures are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm really impressed, they're gorgeous!! thanx for sharing!!

My friend who is a jeweler is always telling me how really good cubics look so much better than diamonds, they don't ever become dull and they always shine like crazy. I love fake ones I think they are so fun! And if you lose it you don't have to feel devestated. I am not bringing my ring to Mexico, I would have 50,000 anxiety attacks and would not enjoy my time there b/c I would panick that I would lose it or that it would get stolen. I say get the fake and this way you get something exciting to celebrate when you are able to afford it. -Glenda I also was always worried about losing it but since my FI bought me mi tiny eternity ring I feel it's safe

Welcome Julie!! I'm getting married in cancun.. let us know more details.. how many people are you planning on inviting?
