How is that for a cheering section That must have been a great feeling, it makes all the hard work seem totally worth it.

I did and still am. lol I am a bit of a perfectionist and its driving me crazy.

Those are awesome, did she make them herself? There is a barcode on there already. Huh, I am so stuck. Maybe I will just put the resort name on the top line, leave all that stuff blank and put Holguin, Cuba on that line. I wish this was easier. lol Any other suggestions?

Take as long as you want, we need help. Lots of help. lol

I also noticed on her site she has the instructions to make favor tags, I want to do those too, with our monogram, to hang on the fans. I'll post when I'm done. Please post the directions for the favour tags, I never saw that. I would love to know how to make it. The more I can learn the better.

Noooo, I still need more advice, keep it coming. Oh yeah Melissa, I did see those before. I think they look really great, you must feel so proud that you made them yourself.

I also got 140 return address labels for FREE. I was worried they would look cheap but they look fine. How big are yours? Ours are 3.5" x 4". We debated the 5.5" x 4" (we got samples of them both) and just decided the smaller one was the one we wanted. Not sure why, I think we just liked the shape better.

And then, "celebration ahead" instead of "from this day forward". Do you want the issuing agent to say "magnetstreetweddings.com"? I would want to change this if I were you. I can't think of anything for "Departing for life journey together". ...you could always just do xxxxx instead if you can't think of something you like. I don't it would take away from the magnet. Hope this helps. I don't like that issuing agent either, but my FH said he did not care. But, I think you are right, it should not say that. what should it say though? Who would the issuing agent? This is so tough. lol

You can use it if you want, I am okay with sharing. We don't know the same people I agree about changing the letters as well, but I am not going to use this one, it was just a test, so I will not fix it right now. I need my wedding colours first. lol I just wanted to prove to myself that I could do it.

Can we see the magnets?

I am also doing weight watchers, I just started, this is my second week and I have lost 4 lbs. I go to the gym at least 3 times a week, but I aim for 4. I am hoping to lose 20 lbs for the wedding. That would make me really happy. I am going to look at a dress this weekend, I will buy when I am happy and just get it altered as many times as I need to.

I did not check out vista print. I have already ordered these though, pretty much, this is the proof they sent me. These worked out to be, including shipping, taxes and envelopes, less than $2 each for 100. So, I think its a pretty good deal. What do yours look like?

Alright, we ordered magnets from Magnet Street. They sent us our proof. can you guys look at it, and help out with the wording and tell me what you think. We both hate the part where is says "To have and to hold....From this day forward" We also do not like the part above the date where is says "Departing for life journey together" (sorry, wanted to delete is because I am worried I shared too much personal info, sad, I know) We are not cheesy people and just want it to say something nice. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh, anything can be changed, so all suggestions are welcome.

I made it black as well, and I am exctied about it. Not sure that I would use black, but I must say, I am pretty proud of myself. This is the black one.

Okay, I am trying to teach myself and this is my first attempt, I am hoping to get better of course, just wanted to show you how I am doing. I don't have my wedding colours yet, so I am just experimenting with colours. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/fo...yimg&imgid=773

She is all better now though, and I am supposed to be better on Sunday at the latest. I am just a little worried because when I start to fell better after being sick, I eat everything in my path. lol So, come Monday, I will need to get back on the diet. I have lost 4 lbs total in my 2 weeks back on ww, I am excited about that though.

For those of you who want to know, I found this site that tells you how to make your own monograms. Its from Aylee's site, maybe an old one or something, I am not sure, but I think its helpful. I will tell you if it works for me. aylee

Thanks so much guys, you are really making me feel better. Its hard when you work on something to look at it and decide if its good or not. lol

Well, I have the stomach flu, so, its been really easy to stay on points this week I have lots of extra. I got on the scale today and lost 2 lbs. I was hoping it would be more, because as soon as I start eating again, like this weekend, I am going to gain it right back. So, I will start back on ww on Monday for sure.

If I had extra money, I would totally pay for a site. I really can't complain for a free site though. Its just a little annoying if you have a lot of info to enter, its a lot harder to do than you think it should/would be. But again, its free, I knew this going into it

Those are great pictures, your wedding was beautiful.

That is just in the sections that I can put notes in though, that is not in all the places, like the titles, etc.., that is where I need to know how to change the font. That area, I did change it, but I can't make it much bigger or it looks really silly with the areas I can't change. Do you know what I mean?

Thanks so much for all your advice guys, its a big help. Anny, I can't seem to find anything about changing the fonts, I would like to, I am not a fan of their defaults.
