When you pick something out, show the printer your logo and if they have any concerns, let me know and I'll work with them to get them something they can print. Rebecca

Oh Erin! I've been there. I yelled at DH because he ate the very, very last girl scout cookie of the year.

I love getting my legs waxed. I've been doing my lower legs for several years and I have almost no hair anymore. Its so nice. The first few times, it was uncomfortable, but now it hardly even bothers me except right behind the ankle bone. I am afraid to have my underarms done. Plus there's no way I could let it grow long enough. I just can't stand any hair there.

Happy birthday Betsy!!!!! Hope it's absolutely perfect!

I had "unofficial" bridesmaids. My best friends and sister are spread out all over the world, and it just seemed easier not to make a big fuss over it. So I asked them to wear something pink - I didn't care what shade, style, etc. I arranged a private brunch the day of the wedding, gave them matching necklaces and we all got dressed together that afternoon (and a little tipsy, perhaps). It was great. And the photos were beautiful.

Oh yes. No one sends back the RSVPs. Seriously, NO one. I think we had maybe 7 of the 50 we sent come back. Hellooooooo? If we didn't want you to send them back, we wouldn't have bothered to send them to you in the first place. Ah... I love people. The funny thing is that now that I've been through it, we send back the RSVP within about 2 days whenever we get an invite.

Oooooh dooooooreeeeeetooooooos! I love them. So deadly. Sooooo deadly. And smartfood. I seriously love me some Smartfood. I try and tell myself they must be better than cheetos and doritos because they use white cheese-food-product-stuff. I would consider trading my e-ring right now for a big ol bag of smartfood. And its only 8:45 AM. What does that say about me?!?!?!?

I get your hesitation - they aren't paying, so why give them the recognition? On the other hand, the invite isn't necessarily about giving them recognition for footing the bill. It's about the celebration of your wedding. Maybe the way you might make everyone happy is rather than put your mom's name on it, put "together with their parents" or "together with their families" ...something like that. No names, but some recognition that they are happy for you. By the way, be careful about what you are willing to give up to make Mom happy. Because if you really don't want to include her name, doing so without making a big deal and pointing out that it's not what you want to do will just encourage her to make you accomodate her on other things. Good luck with this. Just remember that it's YOUR wedding. You've waited this long, there's no reason that you have to compromise to make people happy.

Hibiscus blooms are notoriously short lived and I would bet that not too many florists would use them for fear that they'd start to wilt before they could get you your bouquet. Have you thought about the real-touch silk ones? I haven't seen their hibiscus, but the other blooms are amazing. You might be able to combine those with the real flowers you wanted, or go all real-touch.

I finally had a chance to post my "windowpane" designs on my blog. I think they are just so fun and wanted to share: Blog - Allurements by Rebecca

Go to my website (Allurements by Rebecca), click on monograms and e-mail me at [email protected] with the style number, your colors, names, dates and location and I'll put it together for you! Thanks for the opportunity to be a part of your weddings!

Great color combo! Your guests are going to be thrilled!

They look great! I love the colors and the outer card - so special!

They look amazing! Well done! Your guests are going to love them!

I'm sorry you're not loving your MIBs! I know you've said you've tried lots of papers. Have you tried using a softer paper that won't keep the curl so much or maybe a vellum that has a bit of rigidity to it? A last thought (and this gets very DIY) might be to print onto cotton fabric or use iron-on transfers to put your invites onto cotton fabric. The cotton won't hold the curl. It's a lot of work, but talk about WOW factor! Good luck!

Everything looks fantastic! You're going to have such a great time!

Wow. Toughie. I admit. I looked it up. No one had responded for over a day... It was Serenity. Next quote: "I just went out there and performed sexual favors. Six hundred and thirty-four blow jobs in five days... I'm really quite tired. "

Yay congratulations freckles! Sounds like everything was fabulous!

Yay!!!! Congratulations! I'm so glad it was wonderful!

DH was swapping move quotes with a buddy on the phone last night. I thought it would be a fun game. Basic rules: identify the movie the quote from the previous poster is from, and post one of your own. Like this: "I don't know nothin' 'bout birthin' no babies" Response is: Gone with the Wind. Now your turn: "We'll sell t-shirts sayin' "I Slapped Ouiser Boudreau!" Hit her!" Who is game

Great review Dana! The new palapa space sounds to die for!!!! Now I want to go back and see it.

Hi Ladies! I'm so glad you're enjoying the monograms. I'm loving doing them for people. I've been working on a handful of the silhouette versions - with hibiscus, palm trees, shells, etc. I'm currently working on a lily design. I'll be putting a bunch on my website over the weekend. If you want one, be sure to let me know.

OMG. I laughed out loud at this: "I have the sudden urge to buy a Snuggie and wear it to the grocery store." Thanks Ann! We neeeeeeeed this!
