Great pics! Thanks for sharing! Heidi -- so good to see you with a smile on your face and margarita in your hand!!! I'm jealous ... where are all the girls near me :-)

I sent pics of what I wanted ... but also if you find a riboon you like, I'd take it to use just in case.

Hey Jennifer! Here's a pic of some coral BM dresses (same as my dress but I'm using beige -- almost picked this coral though 'cos I love it.).

Wow, Shelley. You rock. You must have some kinda power that let's you zone right in on what you want/are looking for!!! Awesome!

Our BM dresses are a beige/gold/champagne color. Accent colors are coral and blue. I think coral can mesh well with so many different colors -- especially any earth tones.

You want the blue stone as the center stone or is a clear stone okay? Very pretty and sparkly!

LOL! Good thread. 2-3x week for us. It was more like 5-6 when we first met, but things have fizzled a bit since we live together now --but it's still pretty decent. Sometimes he wants it more, sometimes I do. :-)

SSSSOOOO excited for you Mel! Everything will be PERFECT and you will laugh at being stressed out about it all! :-) I simply cannot wait for you to get back and tell us everything! And we'll be watching like a HAWK for Robin to post those pictures!!!! CONGATS girlfriend!!!!!!

I am so very sorry to hear this news, Heidi. I can only imagine how difficult the coming days will be for you and Reggie. Please know that we are all here for you and thinking of you!

That's awesome! Ihave NO idea have to maneuver through photoShop so I'll be looking forward to some online BDW lessons! Thanks ... they look great ... what a difference!

Invitations will be all my own! Maybe when I have them printed out with everything they will look better!!! I was thinking that for the pocket they go in...they will be the blue color of our writing, with our monogram in white maybe? Or what do you suggest for mongram color on that blue color envelope? My envelope pockets are blue as well and I tried printing it with every color imaginable. I didn't like any of it. I wanted to try white, but didn't have the white ink, so I found that a darker blue worked best as a complement to the color of my bright blue envelopes.

Totally cute! So what's the "Surprise" after the cake cutting?

But they know we will be having a BLAST!!!

We did a pre-bachelorette party in June at a road-race course where we camped and watched the races. I even got a strip tease from a race car driver at our campsite that night and later a cop 'pretend' arrested me and came back later for a 'handcuff' strip-tease (all very innocent -- but very fun). My MOH husband stayed with us too b/c I am close to him as well and he was our 'chef.' For my regular bachelorette party, we are renting an oceanfront house in my favorite little NC fishing town (my uncle lives there). We're going to go carter fishing and then cook up the fish for a big dinner before we go out one night. We can walk everywhere in this town and it's very laid back (mostly locals, who I know from hanging out w/ my uncle so much) so even going out won't be 'bachelorette-y'. I told my BM I'm not wearing a veil, sash, any of that crap. :-) Tom is going to Atlantic City -- he wanted something cheesier than Vegas!

I really like this barrette and it looks like it will go great with your dress! Untitled Document And I think Edyta's hair style will look PERFECT on you! I would definitely use her hair as inspiration! Edyta's style Those earrings look great! I think you can forego the necklace altogether if you want to. I have a similarly cut dress ... and am restringing my Mom's pearls in a choker-style. You could do something like that as well, with the silvertone freshwater pearls. Untitled Document My Dress How about wrapping your Grandma's necklace around the stems of your bouquet? I think that would look beautiful ... and it would still be visible for her to see. Grandma's necklace

Girl, that dress is GORGEOUS and it looks absolutely FANTASTIC on you!!! Boy, your weight loss success is no joke! I hope I can look half that good in my wedding dress!!! So glad everything worked out ... I can only imagine. I hate that you can't wear the necklace but at last you have an alternative plan. Hopefully your Grandma will understand how you just don't feel the vibe of it looking right with your dress. I think the courthouse ceremony is a good compromise!!!!

I like #2 with the added tulle at the top. I think it's more of a flattering dress in general ... and think it looks great on you in the pics too! That's my two cents! I love #2!

We are also including our photographer at our Rehearsal Dinner. Not to take pictures, but rather as another oportunity for everyone to get to know each other. It's her option if she wants to attend ... but we are extending the offer.

Have you posted it yet? I don't see it in this thread ... but hoping to get lots more info from you on Punta Cana and the DR as far as your wedding! Especially about customs coming/going at the PUJ airport and the transfers from the airport to the resorts. Did you use the tour operator transfers or get your own taxi? I know you had issues with your daughter at the airport ... but I'm also wondering about advice for travelers (I have several travelling alone -- all ages) and things to look out for, etc.

They look good, but .... yes, they are very plain. You can't find a piece of clip-art of monogram or anything to jazz it up a bit? Or is that what you'll do once you get the monogram finished? If you have the font "wmtrees1" downloaded from Download fonts | dafont.com ... you should see a Palm Tree that I added to the first page. Just to see if you guys like something like that... finalboardingpass[1].doc

Fabulous! Looks great! Can't wait til you get the starfish and other extras together with it! woo-hoo!

I am using Personal Wedding Websites - WedQuarters.com and love it. the only thing I don't like is that the Background Music option doesn't work. Tons of positive feedback from visitors to our site as well!

I got the template from some of the other gals on here and then just made it my own! I never had considered, or even thought of, anything like this either ... but I'm really pleased with them ... although cutting 180 of them at 5-pages each is a BEAR of a job!!!

If you have patience, there are likely very similar fonts on there, but you'll have to start searching through. I did that for hours to find some calligraphy-looking fonts for my invitation envelopes. it took forever but was worth it cos I found ones I love...
