Seriously I will pay you for this - you are doing me a huge favor and I really appreciate it! Can't wait to see what you come up with next! how many do you need & when is your party? You can get them cheaply from vistaprint if you have enough time to wait for them to come in. You can make your wedding date the expiration date (the expiration of your bachelorettehood). Then there is the member since date. Maybe the month/year you started dating? Then you get 16 more numbers. Both of your birthdays? mmdd yyyy mmdd yyyy? date of the party twice? It can be changed if you change your date. Maybe somoene else will have a creative idea for the numbers. Do you watch Lost? I'm a dork, but you could use the lost numbers. Oh nevermind, they are bad luck Do you like the idea of putting a picture on the back of the credit card? What would you want it to be of? You & aaron? The beach? Your wild friends having a good time? A party bus? This is a fun project. I was so excited to get back to it after my workout

I don't think anyone on here feels you need defend your decision. But it is interesting to hear how people came to their decision. Not to defend it, but just to let us know why. It's cool to hear all the different options for names. Most of us who said we are changing said we are doing it because we don't care for or are not attached to our last name. I don't think there are many ladies on a destination wedding forum that are so old school they can't understand why a woman would keep her last name. I also think it's nice to hear that from some of the ladies that are keeping their names that they don't judge those who aren't. In my field women tend to keep their names. I don't want people to think it makes me less independent to change. But, I think most women would drop my name if given the opportunity so they probably understand. When my parents got divorced I actually wanted to join my mom with having her maiden name because it was a cool name. I guess I've never really had stong principals on last names. I just want a good on that's easy to pronounce preferably in the front of the alphabet

Here is the start of the logo This might be all I do tonight. My friend should be here soon to workout. I just need to find a font to write your names in & viola you have your logo. I'll planned to attache the jpg so others could make a logo but it said "invalid." I'll try again later.

I didn't. 1/2 the people don't even return them. I don't think it's at all improper not to send them since you aren't really asking people to rsvp.

I'll definitly check them out.

OK here is a rough draft. Very rough Then the credit card can be personalized with your mastercard logo. Also, you can pick your own numbers. Wedding date? Party date? It can have your name on the card. Also, I thought a picture for the background of the card would be cool. Another idea is to do it 4x6 & have the credit card on the front & words on the back. Take a look at this & see what you'd want to personalize about it. I plan on making the credit card from scratch. Also, if anyone wants to help out I need a font that looks like the numbers and one that looks like the word "mastercard" in the logo. I can probably make this a template too if other people want their own MC logo or personalized card.

oops I saw you were making them on kodak.com.

I had some ideas as i drove home. Mike is working late & my workout buddy is behind schedule, so I'm going to do some mock ups now. I totally don't mind helping you. This is a fun project. Are you printing these yourself? edit- i see you are using kodak.com.

Then you can "play" it on any other photo you want with the click of a button - and not have to repeat all the steps one by one. Other photoshop experts have created some incredible actions that you can purchase and down load. Let me know if you want me to point you in the direction of some of my favorites. yes, please point me to your favorites.

It really snapped me out of the horrible mood I had been in for days. Luckily, that guy got evicted! Unluckily, a loud lady moved in. Thank goodness I got a good ocean noise CD. For BTB I want to nominate Yari. She is always on (I've been competing with her for most posts- I won't go to sleep until I know she is offline.) Maybe that's why I had a dream about her. She is the last thing I think about before I go to bed. Ha Ha! i'm just kidding (not about the dream, but about waiting up for her, I only learned how to check most posts a few days ago). And for "longest nomination ever", I'd like to nominate myself. I put the names in bold so amy doesn't have to read this whole thing. OK I'll shut up.

I read through the whole thing and wasn't that impressed. maybe someone will find it useful though.

I just looked at the logo. I can definitly make that. Do you want the invite to be written on a credit card?

hey betsy, Rachel sent me a link to this thread. I didn't look at it before because I'm just doing a bach party evite so i didn't think I'd be much help. I'd be happy to help you with it. I might not get to it until tomorrow at lunch though.

I don't know what actions are, but I plan to google it ASAP. OK, I've googled. Sounds so cool. Thanks for the tip! I will definitly be getting some actions eventually! Are they like macros? I haven't experimented with macros yet. Its so great having photographers on this forum!

They are roaming all over my apartment.

I didn't know you were friends. I do love that dress. It's better than any of the 6 BM dresses I've worn too. I forgot to vote on the shoes. I like the ones with color. I think it's a color you can wear again.

I ended up designing them (with help from the forum) and printing them at vistaprint. I love how they turned out & it's really fun that I made them myself (with BDW).

Spencer is in the back lookin like a tool YouTube - Heidi Montag Sings Live - LAX Club L.V. that's funny. Someone wrote "jazz hands" in the comments. I think I saw spencer raise the roof behind her.

Quote: Originally Posted by LC_Rachel Ticker conspiracy. I like the new one too. Thanks! I think the background looks like the place we got engaged (pic in the corner of my siggy pic for comparison). I really like lions, too.

I'm just not getting a band. my ring is a round solitare so finding a matching band wouldn't be hard, but I like the one band look. I thought it would confuse people & they'd think I'm engaged once I'm married. But, people assume I'm married now that they see the 1 ring, so I don't think it matters. I think I might get on of those blinging CZs from the website tami posted for travel.

Humm my old ticker says 3 months 3 weeks and 5 days. the new one says 3 months 3 weeks and 3 days. Wonder why the difference? Not sure which is right.

OK I got it right this time. I like it better than my old one anyway.

Ha Ha, I tried to make a new one & accidentally made it for pregnancy
