wow, an outdoor bed & a private pool. The place looks amazing!

sarah, I've been wondering where your new clip art came from. The green leaves you have on your website & new logo. I love it!

Here's a couple of pictures. katherine heigl (izzy from grey's anatomy) wore a birdcage veil. it was really pretty. I'll look for a picture.

Here is mine. is it too big?

My invites are done! Thanks to everyone who helped me make them! Here is what I spent: $42 80 invites + 100 postcard inserts (vistaprint) $3 140 return address labels (vistaprint) $17 100 Astrobrites Lunar blue envelopes (envelopesexpress.com) $10 card stock (AC Moore, but I recommend getting astrobrites at an office store instead) $72 grand total Cost per invitation= 90 cents I’ll spend about $30 on stamps. I planned to spend less, but I’m happy with the price. I had fun making them & I’m excited to send them to my guests. I didn’t plan on getting $17 envelopes, but I really wanted them to match my paper. The invites also came with envelopes, but they didn’t fit once I added the card stock. They were also cheap looking. I have a lot of card stock leftover to use for my program fans. So really, the total cost is a little less. I also have enough envelopes to mail my pre-wedding letters. Out of the 80 invites I ordered, only one was printed poorly. Two friends are going to calligraphy the addresses next weekend & then they ship out!

Looks great! I can't wait to see all the books you design!

I would email the hotel WCs. I don't think they would do a non-religious ceremony in a church. Maybe it's different if the hotel chapels are just a location for weddings. But, I couldn't see a real church allowing a non-religious ceremony.

If anyone else has one and can chime in, please do! It's free, too. It is a folder with flyers, postcards, invites, business cards, etc. I have found it to be really helpful for picking stuff out. I loaned it to a coworker last week. I'm constantly spreading the word about vista print.

Do you have a sample pack? There is a flyer in it. I'd check mine out, but I loaned it to someone else making their wedding invites. I've been mounting my vistaprint invites on card stock all weekend. Man, it's taking a long time. It's fun to have a craft though. I borrowed the paper cutter from my lab & I've been sitting in front of the TV chopping & glueing.

Have you looked into a local print shop. I know the other members highly recommend Vistaprint. Vistaprint only does certain shapes & sizes. You can get a 4x8 flat card, but if the boarding pass invite is 5x8, they don't print it. It would be possible to design the boarding pass invites to fit the vista print sizes. Future DIY boarding pass makers might want to consider that.

http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t2213 this question has come up several times. The suggestion is usually to not use them. They can't do anything any other TA can do for you.

Browse the forum & you'll see tons of stuff about making logos. It was my first DIY project & I got a lot of help from the forum. There are also really cheap options for buying one. I think they are as low as $2. As far as how to get started, I think the best thing to do is look around the forum. I got most of my ideas there. The starfish picture was off the internet. I'll email it to you, stormstrong.

Bed bath & beyond is great. They treat you really great when you go in to register. Also, if you have to return anything they will give you cash. I didn't register at target because they are terrible about returns for registries. It has recently gotten worse. I also registered at dillards online and myregistry.com, but I don't really like myregistry.com.

Yes, I have searched and I read as much as I can get my hands on. However, there are threads several pages long and don't directly answer my specific questions. This message board is wonderful, but it has really irritated me seeing that done to other people as well. http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t14777 http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t13834 Read through these two posts & you will understand why I replied the way I did. My reply was not intended to be rude at all & I feel I was very friendly. Our moderators works very hard to keep this forum organized.

I did the Macarena with a llama because I'm AWESOME!
