We're doing aqua as the main color with deep brown, sand, and ivory accents. No real pics until July. The colors are from David's Bridal, Pool, Truffle, and Champagne, and my dress is ivory with champagne.

Yea for HA brides! We are having our legal wedding on Kauai, probably west shore. Can't wait to hear more about your plans and see your pics later!

We decided to do a postcard kind, saves money on envelopes, but also on weight, when you mail them it will weigh less!

Doug is not a fan of the camera either, but an engagement session is included with our photog package so he has no choice! We are gonna do it in time to get wallet size pics included in our invites. Have fun! Can't wait to see them!

those are beautiful! the only thing I've got to say is that the script-y writing is a little hard for me to read, but it probably looks different in person. maybe if they were one point bigger??

I don't have the entire site enabled yet, only the free part. I wanted to wait until we send out our STD's to maximize the length of time our $89 for one year will last! For now we have the address below, but before I send them I'll pay for the site to get the real domain name and add that to our STD's. Wedding Website | Abbie and Doug password: hawaii

BUMP I was glad to see I am not the only one with issues on this! I love searching the older threads to see what everyone else has done, it helps so much! We are having: Maid of Honor (age 9, Doug's daughter), Matron of Honor (best friend-thank the lord she's married!), and 3 BM's (ages 4-13! Doug's nieces) Best Man (age 12, Doug's son), Other Best Man (not sure what to call Doug's best friend, what is the opposite of matron? Patron of Honor?), and 3 GM (ages 11-15! All of Doug's nephews) Also a Flower Baby (just over 1 yr old, our niece) and 2 Ring-Doggers (our chihuahua's, the place where we are having our "Big Fake Wedding" will allow us to have them for this Doug has 2 sisters I am close with, and I have none. I have 3 girl cousins I am close with, so if I went that route I would have had 5 BM without even having asked any friends. I considered this, but there is no way I want to do it without my best friend. Doug has a whole lot of buddies, but not a lot of best friends, and he wouldn't have been able to pick between them all. Also both his brothers and both his sisters were already in his first wedding to ex. For some reason I am feeling super traditional in this department, so we decided just to pick one best friend each, his kids as the 2 "important" positions, and then all his nieces and nephews instead of his bro's and sis's. It's worked out well, and none of his sibs are offended since we are honoring them by asking the kids. The hard part is finding a BM dress that will work on both a 4 yr old and a 31 yr old! Ha!

Those are beautiful! Very Classic.

BUMP Ahem.... Cali, we want more pics!

Wow, that is so good to hear! Congrats! Now get to posting your review and pics! Can't wait to see for ourselves!

Oh yeah, dress 2 for sure! Smokin' hot!

Wow so pretty It will look amazing once it's all done up.

Morgan for BtB 'cause she is so willing to go the extra mile before anyone even asks. Christa for Mrs. 'cause she was gonna give me her invite templates before she remembered she recently dumped her files Also Sarah for being so helpful and knowledgeable regarding computer junk, like explaining how-to's on pictures and graphics stuff.

Have a great day!

Congrats! That rocks!

wow maura, that dress is so pretty. i'm glad michelle and morgan could find it for you! can't wait to see pics of the real deal if you get it!

no but if you get one, please post it! we love some of the shirts there.

BUMP.... Thanks for this thread, I'm just getting started with lumapix, and found this by accident on here. Sarah you are so great with instructions! And Morgan, your projects have turned out awesome.

Can't wait to see the real pics with you in the dress. I'm sure it will be awesome! Like Julie says, the pic of the model is a tease, you can't really see enough of the dress. We're waiting!....

I can't see the pic here at work, but congrats on the price! Rockin deal!

Very nice! And Fiji is on my list of possible Honeymoon destinations!

GRRRRRRRRRR! Firewalls! Gotta get home quick today to see these!

I totally thought that was you Steph! Way long, unecessary background: Our wedding party is pretty non-traditional. Doug wanted his son to be his Best Man (Trevor is 12, Doug was 19 when he was born), so I decided it would be nice to have his daughter Ali (9) be my MOH, even tho I have a best friend. Doug has a lot of buddies but not enough good buddies that he would want to ask to be in the wedding to equal the number of ladies I would ask. So we decided to make things easier and not offend a lot of our friends, we would ask Doug's nieces and nephews to be our wedding party. 3 girls ages 4-13, and 3 boys ages 10-15. I am going to have my best friend be my Matron of Honor, and Doug's best friend from kid-hood to be his, UH, Man of Honor? So after all that, we needed a style of dress for the girls that would work for a four year old and a 13 year old, and one that works with the dress Wendy will be wearing. This is what we came up with! Ali in the dress, wrong color Back-wrong color Front of dress-correct color Back of dress-correct color Matron of Honors Dres The girls will have Champagne sashes to match the cuff on my dress, and Ali will have a dark brown ribbon along with the sash.

Wow that is a beautiful dress, but yikes, that is sure cutting it close to have extensive alterations done. I'll be hoping your dress comes in early! Can't wait to see actual pics of you in it. It will be lovely!

Thanks everyone, I will try all these and update you with what ended up working. All of these ideas helped me to visualize the order and made it sound much easier!
