Pearlescent Metallic Card Stock, 21 Cardstock Colors - Paperandmore.com has a light aqua...

My color are fushcia, orange and blue, so I am partial and I would have to go with orange. That's my fave and what my whole wedding is worked around.

Wow, I am in the extreme minority on this one - so far the voting is 37 for #1 and 10 for #2!!!

Ahhhhh, I haven't watched it yet! I need to try to stay away from this thread....

I agree with Jamy. If the friends are the same, feel free to invite them all to the same events. It is nice that your friends want to do this for you, but also kinda selfish that they won't work together. A shower isn't suppoed to be an added stress for the bride! Perhaps you can just tell them to talk to each other about the planning and leave you out of it, but give them the master list of who all should be invited and let them figure it out.

I couldn't imagine getting married without my real rings, it actually had never occured to me. I will def use my rings!

To me, just cuz we are having a DW doesn't change anything. We are still having an AHR and a shower and all that other "traditional" wedding stuff, so we did register.

Finally, someone who knows the store! Everytime I tell someone I love it, or I registered there, they are like "Huh?". I go in and I just wander around for hours and it's only a tiny little store.over. Quote: Originally Posted by Jones4Me Sorry - offf topic - but Carly, I LOVE Ten Thousand Villages!

I think it is the best of both worlds - bright and fun and nuetral and clean. You'll have to find something the exact shade of cobalt you are thinking, so we know. Sounds great though!

Ok, it took my a while, but I think I finally combined my previous lists with what you all listed and I came up with a frigging long list! I have some done, lots in progress and even more to do!!!

Hmmmm, makes me want to look into getting what ever I registered for from Target, elsewhere. Going to see if it matters.... (ie if I even registered for anything nice there, cuz the only one I really care about is BBB and Ten Thousand Villages)

Glad to be of service, Amy! I just really don't know what else to call it, cuz it is darker then ivory to me, but not quite champagne. Who knew there were so many terms for colors so close! Quote: Originally Posted by amyh Carly, I like that term/color "antique ivory". Edit: my dress is Antique Ivory.

Leia, not to talk you into spending more money, but I absolutely love Karla's dress! YOur is gorgeous too, but it's hard to tell since there are no pics of you in it. YOU have to be happy with it!

Love #41!!! Also, I need to know where he got that shirt from. I am PMing him now, but not sure if he is still around since these photos are froma few months ago....

Looks great, Abbie! Another point for the real brides!

We registered at Target, Macy's, Ten Thousand Villages and then most of the stuff is at Bed, Bath & Beyond. No honeymoon registry for us...

I agree that maybe they don't know what to do? I know when I was a BM before, I was clueless and just waiting for direction...

I vaguely remember a thread like this before. I think the Target's rules are similar to what you said, and a bit ridic, but I think that lots of people said they had no problems. I hope they aren't that ridic, cuz I have some stuff registered there!

Mine is called Ivory, but to me, it's really darker then that. I would call it champange or antique ivory.

Congrats, Abbie! It's beautiful!

They look great, I love the colors...

Martha - they are both gorgeous dresses!!! I wish DB had ones like that when I was trying dresses on! I can't decide which one I like better just from those pics, but they are great choices!

I am saving and altering all these templates as we speak, they are awesome! Thanks Shelley and Ann!

I am not sure why, since i usually go for all the beading and lace, but I like #2 better. Nothing wrong with #1 at all, it looks great, but something about #2 stood out to me.
