My dress is a dark champagne color...it looks different in different lights though. The designer called it "cafe" but its not really that dark

When I was first looking for a dw resort my FI and I were really excited to book at EDR...we were pretty close to signing the contract but when we asked about their outside vendor policies etc... we decided this wasn't the palce for us. We wanted to have 100% control over our own wedding, after all we only get to do it once. I think that its important for us to come together and voice our displeasure with the resort's policies. If we don't then I agree that other resorts might pick up on the idea that this is acceptable, and implement similar policies themselves. I don't view this sticky as an attack on brides that have chosen EDR as their preferred dw resort, nor do I see it as an attack on those brides that in the future might choose it. I think this sticky is important (a)to inform brides about their policies because they might not be aware of them, and (b)to give a voice to those of us who are unhappy with them. The only way to get through to greedy businesses is hurt them where it matters...$$$$$.

We are making our own invitations etc... We're in the process of finding the paper and we have a few options for printers. I wouldn't necessarily use staples as the printer. Try one that's not a chain and that perhaps specializes in custom print jobs. You can find the paper at different papery stores around Toronto and if you buy in large quanitities you might even get a deal. Having the right paper, and the right print job makes all the difference. I'm sure that your design is beautiful, you just have to find the right place to implement your vision. Have you considered thermography printing?

I think there are a bunch of books and articles out there that talk about it. I can't remember which ones they were exactly but if I find them I'll post!
