Love the starfish set soo cute!! Your planning thread is really cute! Thanks for sharing!

I love love love your colors together!! The men's ties are really nice! Everything loots great!

Love the OOT bags super cute!! Thanks for sharing, my planning thread will be late too but people can always benefit from seeing pics

Def do something because my door tags with a normal 2in circle cutout for the handle kept falling off of the door handles so it is too bad the magnets didn't work, I would bring a little tape to help reinforce them.

I got mine on amazon they are avery clear badge holders

So cute, great work!!!

Haha thanks for sharing, I love that sweater! This was really good for a laugh!

Mine is for a cruise wedding but it may help you: Dear Family and Friends, We thank you so much for taking the time out of your schedules to join in on our wedding ceremony, whether it be for the day or the week of festivities we are very pleased that you are able to join us. We have guests joining us not only from all over the country but from Ireland and Australia as well. My wish is that everyone takes the time to meet each other and have a relaxing and enjoyable vacation of your own. We enjoy watching other have fun as much as we enjoy having fun ourselves so a cruise wedding seemed to fit right in with our idea of a perfect wedding ceremony. We look forward to seeing you at our welcome dinner, for transportation to the port, and at the wedding. Please take the time to enjoy the buffet on the Lido deck before the wedding ceremony begins but save room for the reception, open bar, and cake! Love,

I just googled wedding programs for mine and found one that I liked and made mine like that.

So cute and a great deal!!! Nice work

Hope everyone's weddings are going well!! I had an amazing time, I couldn't have asked for more!

Have they been living together? You could get something for their home and I think the blank card idea is the way to go, just put something nice inside about happiness for their future that way it doesn't focus on a wedding date.

I also got bug wipes from CTS, I don't think anyone used them but it was a good deal and then can use them at home.

I really didn't even keep track of my budget for my OOT bags, I know that isn't very intelligent of me but I just tried to get the best deal on everything I bought and didn't buy everything I planned to in the beginning. Other than the suggestions that others have made, which are wonderful suggestions, I also used my rewards points from my credit card to purchase gift cards for target and bought from their dollar spot when things were on sale. And I bought a lot of things that had multiple things in one package, for example target had 3 little nail polishes in a package in the dollar spot and I got some of them when they wer 50% off so for $0.50 I got 3 nail polishes so that took care of 3 women.

Wrap this around you with love and pass along a hug?

If you are giving them out at the reception (which seems like a good idea since everyone will be there) try to stick to making them as uniform as possible. I had different ones for couples, singles, men, women, sailing, and nonsailing so it got really confusing when I went to hand them out and I had them in different piles all over my hotel room so I could grab them as people arrived. But if you put the guests names on them and left them on a table it would be easier for you.

I'm leaving tomorrow, thanks to all my August 2009 brides for listening to me vent for sooo long!! Best of luck to all!! I'm out of time to make my planning thread, I'll do it after along with a review.

Darn I didn't know the doors were all metal that would have been fun to decorate, oh well, I made door tags.

wow your crafts are so great! I can't wait for your planning thread!

Super cute, love the colors!

I did OOT bags and I'm giving starfish magnets, they are plain and don't have our names or a date so people can keep them and use them for a while.

Congrats! I felt the same way about my shower, I really didn't expect to have so much fun or to get so many great gifts either but a great time was had by all

I got my flowers today, no idea where I'm going to pack them but I'm excited anyway!!

Wow that is such a great idea, too bad my wedding is a week away and I already have other plans, I'm tempted to ditch them and go with this it came out so well!
