Christine

why don't you try to add your monogram? You could also add a background on the entire page (it would make it look like a water mark)

I have seen people kinda of tuck them in the weave

on my honeymoon we saw so many people doing the private dinner (most nights there was only one, but some there was two) they had a little candle lit pathway leading to the little tent type thing and servers it was so beautiful. I told my hubby I wished he had looked into that (o'well right) I think that would be so wonderful for the anniversary couple to have. As for the birthday Maybe have everyone meet for drinks and entertainment in honor of them (whatever entertainment there is that night, you could always see if they will announce the special b-day)

welcome, please let us know how we can help in any way.

You have to create on a slide in power point then you select all and group them, then right click and save as a picture. I don't know how to make the background not black though. I have to play with that a bit more.

Tami, I was inspired by Sarah's also, of course I couldn't cut out the ones she made so I did a design I could use a template cutter with.

thanks Sarah, I am getting better with the software.

well aside from it saving as a black background how is this

I don't have your bank gothic font but I am working on it in power point right now...I think I just about have it. I just used another scripty font. Let's see if that's what you want and then we can adjust the font from there.

I opened them, but I don't think I have your fonts. Do you have power point?

I think you can put them all in power point and save as a jpeg

We had a friend DJ for us so my hubby (who is very particular about music) picked almost our entire list. I thought I would post it here in case anyone else wanted to borrow it. I don't love all these songs but my hubby does and the ones that were played (our Dj had one CD player broke) were all danced to.

I did program fans but they were booklet style I included the names of our wedding party, flower girls, ring bearers, officiant, parents names. I also include the order of the ceremony (including songs)-this took 4 pages because I made the font kinda large and the pages were smallish ovals. Then the front page had our names and welcome to the wedding of... the last page said thank you for coming and a repeat invite to join us at the reception (since they had to go elsewhere).

I was very early in my planning stage, I just bounced around several forums jogging down ideas 3. I did not navigate around the website around enough to see how active it was, so didn't know it was easier to learn about those ideas by asking, rather than reading and searching 4. I see that how well everyone knows each other, and didn't feel fit in thank you so much for your honesty, I donated some points to you so you can change your name if you want, aside from that I am so happy to see you in here and more active.

okay here is mine, I cheated and did a collage but I don't get counted in the contest! My mom actually made my costumes when I was a kid (all of them)

Savannah I never saw this post but holy cute kids! Wow four at one time...I am overly impressed.

So the big question is how can we make newbies feel more comfortable? Thanks Marie, Glenda and Amy for responding.

Brittney, that is terrible, I am so sorry. This is none of my business but does she have some sort of mental disease? The whole dissapearing thing is really odd. My fi's parents a really unreliable and he has said multiple times that he is really happy to be with me because I am his family now. So think about your FI as your family and know that he will not let you down.

Have a beautiful wedding!

oh I have done this before, I don't know that its less painful but the regrowth is much better (I mean slower and not as thick)

Stephanie that dress is really going to look great on you and I can just picture you and your FI in Tahoe now...so beautiful!

Welcome! Let us know how we can help

ours got all the songs on his own, we sent him a list of songs we really wanted and he took care of it.
