Does anyone know for the luminaries for the walkways...do the votives need to be in a glass holder or can then just be set in the sand in the bag? I noticed on their ad Michaels has all their votives on sale (some in holder & some not) and didn't know which way to go!

Paula you look amazing and so happy! I Love the pictures in the ruins!

I bought the bags from Cheaptotes.com Canvas TOTE BAG I bought the natural color as well.

I love it Leia...what a great idea.

My newer ones turned out much better. THOSE LOOK FANTASTIC......okay yes the first couple will take you forever but once you have the process down you will fly through the rest of them. I love the design you did too...very simple but so fun!! Great job!

I think my list of DIY projects grows weekly. I got them on sale, but they are usually $5.50 I believe for a package of 5. They are really nice to use and come out great...worth the extra $$ My favorite was the beer & limes...tried to make them appropriate for our single guys!

I finished my AHR invites that are similar to the ones for our Mexico guests....

I finished my luggage tags this weekend! I decided to do photos that I had taken as well as a couple stock photos (Also thanks again Sarah, I used the pool photo that i used for the postcards again). I bought self-laminating luggage tags from Staples which were so easy to use. Then put the hotel number on the back with my guests names (since I figured they can put another one on their bags if they want a phone number of their choice). Here are some photos of them

Leia I love it. I am going to look at that site and see if I can find one!! Thanks for the link!!

You looked beauitful and so happy....CONGRATULATIONS!

I absoultly agree with all you ladies. I am using Tammy as our TA as well and she is amazing....always willing to help and has been amazing with dealing all with all of my guests!!

Dreams has been the easiest part of my wedding planning so far.....Tammy (host) has been my TA and has make things unbelievably easy for me and for my guest (who are a pain). The rooms are a little expensive but the fees for the ceremon/reception make up for that. There have been a lot of brides who have gotten married there with a ton of reviews on here....read through those and everyone has had a great experience there!

It is a really simple process..I had my FI do the heat gun part because it was the only thing that kept him entertained. I did that part (almost 100 invites) in about 30 minutes.
