Then I will superimpose us in weird places. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t16091 http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t15633

one of my friends it flying in for my party. She will be pregnant so i also didn't want a drinking-centric party. We are going to get together at a friends house & play games, sing karaoke, take silly pictures in front of my green screen & just have fun. Girls will be drinking, but those who aren't will still have fun.

There is a way to just have a little lumapix watermark. You have to make it lower resolution, but it will look fine. the watermark will just be small in the corner. The pop up that warns you about the watermark descirbes this. I think it's fine how it is though. You can see the pics.

Here is a link to where you can download the picture. pucker up.JPG Then upload it to vistaprint. http://www.vistaprint.com/vp/free.aspx go through this link for free address labels. I usually do my uploads through this link www.vistaprint.com/minicatalog & they always end up free. 140 labels should be less than $4 shipped. If you ever need a good vistaprint deal just google "vistaprint coupons" or "free vistaprint _____"

I haven't decided if I'm doing a brochure or flyer for the welcome letter & meet the guests page. It might be a while to I get to it. I've been having a lot of fun learning new stuff in photoshop. Oh, wait I just realized my next project needs to be my BM gifts. I'm not having actual bridesmaids, but I'm giving the girls who would have been my bridesmaids gifts. They are coming up next month for my bachelorette party. I need to get their gifts done by then, because they won't all be at the wedding. I'm making little photoalbums full of silly pictures. I planned on designing a cute cover soon.

I really wanted SPF. Did I not upload the .jpg? I can upload it when I'm on my home computer. You can order them off vistaprint for less than $4 shipped. You get 140, which is why I split them up with people. Glad you girls liked them in person. I also thought they were way cuter in person.

Oh, also, how did you ge thte picture to ba layer I can make a template and layer, but I don't know how to get the pic to be a layer (hope that makes sense. select all (the picture), hit control copy, then control paste it where you want it Then move the layer where you want it (top or bottom). hope that answers your question. It can be hard to explain these things without images. I have a meeting so i don't have time for a screen shot.

Help! yep, but it cost 6,000 points. Totally worth it though, even if it takes most of your savings. go to vp plaza menu. Its under misc options. You will have to take your points out of the bank first.

Yeah, that would really tick off some professors i know. I understand it though. I hate when you see "Dr. Blankity Blank endorses this health product." Then you learn Dr. Blankity Blank has a phd in eduation.

I try to keep my last name off the internet, but one little thread, what's the harm. Henderson. I am SO excited to have a name that no one will mispronounce. I actually got chills typing it. I'm really excited about changing my name. It doesn't feel real yet.

We have booked with Citlalli as well, your pics are getting me excited for the big day! How was Citlalli to work with? Did you feel comfortable? I take such bad photographs so I want to be relaxed. There is a video on here of citalli in action. You can see how hard she works to get these great shots. It's in the "dreams cancun photography" thread. I booked Erick, her husband. I sort of wish I had Citalli though because there are more pictures that she has taken on the forum. They have very similar styles though. I've also heard they are both great to work with. It's just so much fun to get to see more & more examples from your future photographer. I love your pictures. I just photoshopped the one you wanted brighter. I thought it looked like Citalli's work. I'm surprised I can recognize her pictures, but I guess that's what happens when you are on the forum 24/7 looking at pictures.

Your girls love you when you keep costs down & dresses flattering.

http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t9563 Sarah's guide to lumapix. it can be a little tricky at first, but once you get it down it's really userfriendly.

Photo Editing Software - LumaPix :: FotoFusion I suggest downloading the free trial of lumapix. Design your collage & then convert it to a jpg file. It will be watermarked with a lumapix sign, but that really doesn't matter for a siggy pic. The watermark is there if you do not purchase the program. You can adjust the resolution when you are converting it to a jpg file. If you make it low resolution your watermark will be smaller. Low resolution looks fine on a computer screen. If you love the program, buy the $40 essentials version. You can always upgrade later by paying the difference if you really get hooked. I use it all the time, but I haven't upgraded past the cheapest version. It really can do a lot.

OK I haven't had any luck finding this one cheaper online. maybe it's too new?

another option is to look for a knockoff. A lot of the cheaper dresses are knockoffs of the popular designer gowns. I think its very important to keep costs down for BMs. I've been one 7 times & next year it will be 9. buying an expensive dress you didn't pick out yourself sucks! give me the style number & i'll see what I can find

same with wedding gowns. if you search online you can often get a great deal. new dresses too.

Quote: Originally Posted by Jacqueline Wait, what web, Lazaro's website?? The dresses can be cheaper on the website?? No not from the company. From BM dress sellers. There are lots out there. I found the same dress that was $230 in the bridal salon on one of these discount dress sites. Tami suggested it. She got all her BM dresses through them. Shipping takes a while (11 weeks).

2008 Prom Dresses - Wedding Dresses - Bridemaids - Mother of the Bride Gowns I've posted a 10% off coupon around ehre somewhere. You can easily find one by googling TJ formal coupon. The ones I have will be expired by the time you'd order anyway. Oh shipping is free. Whats the style #? I'll see if I can find it for less.
