~Melissa~

Way to go Sarah! I'm so happy for you! time to celebrate....lol

No not whiney.... u need to vent girl. LOL Make sure you look at your ring very closely. Make them show it to you under a microscope. I've heard a couple of horror stories from my friends with peoples rings getting switched. Not to make you worry (sorry) but just for your protection.

oooo I like those Heidi. Good job on everything!!! You must have spent alot of time on them. The more boarding pass STD's I see the more I wish i would have done it . grrrr

Yikes that's scary! Good thing you caught that it was lose before you lost it!! I think we have insurance on mine. So if a stone fals out it's covered. Maybe you should check out and see if you have that option. Kinda ridiculous that they have to ship it out again. I understand why you're so upset.

I don't know how I missed this thread PICTURES AND ALL Looks like you had a good time with Missy. You do look smoking hot in that shirt heheheh The hair pin looks fabulous tammy! great job!!! So simple too!! As for the petals I like them too. Don't know if you have a Micheals down there but petals are 50% this week (if you need more)

awww you girls are all so sweet. This is horrible to admit on here but me and my FH got into a huge arguement over these last night (I'm embarassed). I love doing this kind of stuff - scrap booking, photoshop, web design, graphic design etc. So I was kinda hurt when he told me he didn't care for any of them I know I didn't write them personally but somehow I took offence. It's sad that something so stupid as invitations got us into a tiff especilly when he's said several times he doens't care about all the decoration and goodies. So I'm going to help out Shelley today with her invite but I guess mine will be on the back burner.... until me and FH can compromise and agree on something we both like thanks again girls... all your input made me feel better. And honestly makes me want to use them that much more. hahah i wish I could show him all your comments and be like "see someone likes them" BUT tht would be wrong and I'd be playing with fire.

ok sounds great. thanks for the input. I am done for the night messing around with photoshop. That prgram really pisses me off sometimes. I'm going to take your ladies advice and make the G a bit lighter. And then switch up #4's names to reflect #3's font for names. I'll add it to the bunch.

I dunno about productive... more like frusterated. There was one point where i got up and left the house and went for a walk. I had to drop everythig and just leave. I think I get stressed waaaay to easily The font for option #4 was Edwardian (for the G) Lucidia Calligraphy for our names in the middle of the invite and everythig else was Copperplate(incl our names at the top). Fonts were just from photoshop. I don't have the internet on my macbook right now, so i had to make with what I had.

I wonder if there is such thing as my name in Mexican?

Been working on these layouts all day and boy has it been tiresome. I just can't decide. (I have about 3 faves) but I figured I would show my top 5 off and see what you all think. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. This will be on the invite cardstock. I think i'm going to do the tri fold option from cardandpockets.com in bronze (special thanks to Christa & Sarah for their inspiration and help). Option 1 Option 2 (same wording different font) Option 3 Option 4 Option 5

There are LOTs of great members on this site. I nominate Sarah (AQHARIDER) for all her fabulous DIY projects. And also sharing her photo books with us Love all the projects and pics... keep them comming ladies!

Oh that's a great deal melissa! Glad it all worked out in the end.

thanks Christa.. I missed their envelope section. I guess it's only an envelope, right?!

I don't know about this area either... why is everythign wedding related hitting me hard in the face today? I don't think we are going to do a rehersal dinner although a welcome dinner sounds nice. I also think it's a good way of everyone getting introduced to one another and so on. I think i would have mine the night before the weddding BUT 1- is it rude of me to reuqest another night of my guests time? I think most are thinking of this as a vacation too. I don't want their whole week to be tied to the wedding 2- should I talk to my wc and do this at our resort or find a cool lil restaurant. Ahhh here come all the options again. I don't know whats worse trying to do my invites or plannign a welcome dinner LOL

Oh man.... I've been looking at invitations all flippin' day. There are WAY too many options out there!! I have so many ideas and I know I need to pick JUST ONE. I even took a trip to Micheals for a paper hunt. That store is so dangerous for me, i could easily spend a fortune. I think I'm going to order these pocket folds. They are nice and affordable. I'm going to get the bronze metalic. And make a paper belly (what they call that outer wrap thingy). I got a question for you gals though what did you use for envelopes? i know there are such things as lined envelopes and non-lined (honestly I don't know the difference). Or did you get the regular white envelopes? I just need a little direction on what to do for envelopes... please

heheh and you can't forget all the fun at the reception afterwards with the chair ties LMFAO. That was priceless fun!! I say go for it Sarah!

I can't remember the resort (I'm forgetful) but I can look into it and I'll PM you some more info and pictures. It was a nice 4 star and they got some royal service thingy added to it (which they all raved about!). I guess you get your own section of th ebeach and stuff during the week and royal service. I dunno but it sounded pretty cool.

I noticed you're from Ontario laura, would you be interested in the DR or Cuba? I know those DWs are cheaper than jamaica. One of my gf was married in Punta Cana in November and it was gorgeous!!

Hi Laura, are you planning on monogramming the OOT bags once you get them?

Sarah 17 days until I move sarah! I'm going stir crazy, just waiting. I'm pumped but I really need to start getting a move on my invites and all the little things. I'm so behind!!! (sorry about the thread hijack)

I love professional photography...well even just photos!! Bobbi's little blurb about you natalie was cute too. LOL she seems like quite the character

Hmm Tpoby well I guess I would be freaking out in your shoes too!! I'm suprised Riu is being such a tight ass with it too. I'll cross my fingers and hopefully Tammy can smooth talk them. Even 20 minutes would make a difference. Hope for the best!

Nope, I haven't excercised today but this damn thread keeps popping up and this was the only way I could avoid it When I get home I knwo I'm going to step on the scale and cry I'll be hitting up the tread mill in mo time!
