Seeing the whole thing, I thnk that sounds perfect. I don't think it's necessary to have your number, listing the TA's is enough, but I think that is a personal choice.

I agree wtih Gionne. I wouldn't want to be fielding phone calls. Perhaps if you were to post your whole invitation and wording, we might be able to make suggestions. I just referenced my wedding website on the STD and also said you can book with xxx. It also said on the STD that Jamaica was the location...

Angela - you look awesome! Congrats!!! Love that blue dress by the way...

Yay! Shelley, that sounds like good news, but I thnk it is also a good idea to talk to the doctor and get the details. I am sending positive thoughts as well.

Julie - they look great! I am saving this to my file to possible copy at a later date

I LOVE that site!!! There are so many things on there I want!

Thanks! yeah, I was able to change the shadow to pink. It is the actual font that I wanted to change, but can't figure out. Will get back on that after I get some work done though. (I seem to keep saying that, but then here I am back on here!)

Hmmm, since you are already being unconventional, perhaps you could jsut address them to - John & Jane Smith

Hmmmm, I now tried to purchase bradley hand and nothing happened again either! Ok, I need to get to work, but I will figure this out! Thanks for the help girls.

Hahhaaa, me neither!!! It's so cool though. I only wish we could preview it before buying, cuz my orange is kinda yellow. But that means that in the future, when I can't stand the yellow anymore, I can just purchase a new color!

Hey, thanks for the points Courtney!! Hmmmm, I wonder what I should try then, I want it to be handwriting-ish, or printed. Will mess around a little more.

Well, I tried to make it Lucinda handwriting, and it is the same font. And the shadow didn't show up. I have enough points to purchase it again, but I wanted to see if I did something wrong or if there was a list to choose from before I bought them again. But thanks for the offer of points, Courtney!

So I just purchased a font for my user name (I just found the place to do this stuff and have spent 1,000's of points already!!), but it still appears in the same font. Perhaps I did something wrong, but I didn't see a list of available fonts to choose from, so I typed one in. It didn't change. Did I do something wrong?? Also, I purchased a shadow in fuschia, but is is black.....

Great site, Lizz! Adding to my unending list of bookmarks

Then again, are they contributing financially? How would his parents feel to have their spouses left out? I dont know how that works! Tough call.

I am not sure etiquette wise, but I would try not to do that. Are you having space issues? I don't think I would do it that way, but my parents are together, so I might not be the best person to anser. Mr. and Mrs. Paul H**** invite you to share in their joy at the marriage of their daughter Jacquelyn Carol H**** Jared Joseph M**** son of Mr. John M**** and Mrs. Ann R***

Well, I also think you shouldn't go into debt to get it, even if it is what he wants! Having NO debt is a great way to start a marriage.

Wow, $3,500 is ALOT for a ring! I know platinum is more expensive and all, but dayum. Does Tom know the price difference? Cuz if he does and he still wants it, it might be nice to get it for him. To balance out the e-ring! Matt still complains about the $ spent on that, thinks it was too much, I try to explain that i didnt make the rules! hahahahaaa. I have a white gold ring, so I would say that is fine, but if his heart is set...

Cool site, Kate! I am looking into it now. Perhaps I can set up a family website and have it be a surprise at Christmas or something. We have a new neice in the family, so pics are going to be going around like crazy!

I agree with Gionne! That sounds like a great idea, Conster. How didyou go about setting it up? My family has a yahoo group that we set up to keep tracking of birthdays and "gift lists", but a blog would be cool.

Morgan - I think the pics thing is a great idea. I alwyas had tht thought in my head, but putting it in writing might be a good idea...

I put something like "reception to follow upon return to the states" on the STD, and it will be included on the invite also, and i am just hoping that peeps will bring it there (if at all).

It will all work out in the end, it is the struggle of actually getting to the end that is hard! You do have plenty of time to consider your options. I am getting married in Jamaica, cuz everyone I know is on the East Coast (in the USA anyway), so I don't have any suggestions or ideas for you, but I am sure if you decide the Mexico is too much $$$, there are other brides on here that can offer alternate suggestions for a destination.

I see both sides. Cuz the pics do look nice with all the same shades, however, I LOVE color! But I am not sure how I would feel if someone told me I HAD to wear a certain thing. It is hard enough to find something that looks good, let alone put a restraint on what color guests should buy as well. So personally, I am all about color in my wedding, and I probably wouldn't be thrilled to be told to wear white or tan, but I would do it, cuz like someone else said you'd "stick out like a sore thumb" among all the other white/tan wearing guests!

I have a similar situation - my sister's husband left her and the two kids (now 3.5 and 1.5) last December. It is VERY important to me that they be there with me. Matt and I are paying for them to be there with us. My mom and dad originally were not planning on coming b/c they "can't afford" it. I tried to see how I would feel about having a traditional wedding, and I just would not be happy about it. I also tried to think about how I would feel without my parents there, and that would totally suck, but I'd be on the beach and that is where I wanted to get married. I decided that my parents would do what is best for them, but I had to so what's best for ME. I didn't want to look back on my wedding day as another day that was about them. (The story for why they can't afford it is a little deeper and has to do with my problem brother, but I am not going to go into that here.) So I decided, after all the years of them doing and paying for everything for my brother, if they wanted to be there for me, then great, if not, then that's great too. I don't know if this helped at all, but I agree with Jamy - you need to do what YOU want, b/c you don't want to look back at your wedding and have regrets. Oh, and they are coming now, so it's all working out.
