I have not heard of it, but I am interested. My hair is a bit wavy, but not throughout. I've always wanted more waves but have been too scared of perms after childhood experiences

Oriental Trading Company has some for cheap. That is where I plan to buy mine. In case you didn't know that already

They look beautiful. I love the use of color on the "belt" part. (Not sure the technical term!)

Congratulations on finding the dress and on feeling lovely...you definitely are

I should have shown a picture of the inside...sorry!! Here is a shot she has of the inside of one on her page Etsy :: StarlitNestGifts :: Hippo Passport Cover. Cute for a Child OR an Adult. She still has some on her page and they are on sale right now for $9.50, with buy 4, get 1. So you could get 5 for less than $40. She ships for close to nothing as well.

That is adorable. So unique and personalized

So...I mentioned these a while back and promised to post pictures...so here you go. I got the idea for passport covers from this site (of course!) and came across Etsy.com the same day...and fell in LOVE! I found adorable and simple cloth passport covers and messaged the seller immediately. Shortly after (like an hour later...while I am still searching through the site), Allison messaged back. We chatted back and forth and I decided I would give her descriptions of my BMs and let her go through her inventory and pick out what she thought would work best. The next day she had my order ready, I paid, and two days later I got the package in the mail. She even sent cute tissue and ribbon to wrap them in and wrote a sweet, personalized note to me. The bottom one is mine (of course I had to get one too!!) - plus she was doing a "buy 4, get 1" sale at the time...how perfect. The first one is for my MOH (my sister) - she loves green and blue. The second one is for my young cousin who is a BM - thought it was girly and appropriate for a teen. The third is for my BM friend who loves the beach. And the fourth one is for my BM friend who loves to travel and is a Paris/Sex and the City type girl How awesome of a job she did picking out designs. I was so happy. Her store is located at http://www.StarlitNestGIfts.Etsy.com Now I have to wait a whole year to give them the present That is what I get for getting started so early!!

Beautiful! Congrats on finding "the one."

I like the hammock idea from above, that would be an awesome, yet probably expensive gift. How about a Happy Hour kit or something like that. You have 2 H's that way And lots of fun that goes along with it!

We are getting married at 5pm. One...so it won't be too terribly hot (although I'm sure it will still be hot) and two...so there is enough lighting for photos after the ceremony.

Welcome to the forum!

So pretty! I'm interested to hear where you got it and what color your BMs will be wearing Like everyone else!

I love all three! They are all very pretty. I think (if I HAVE to choose) I would pick #2..I like the lace look (I am biased though, as my dress is all lace) Good Luck!

I can just imagine his thoughts as he sees you throw it back into the ocean! Cute story! I always cringe when I see that commercial about the garbage disposal too...I feel so bad for the guy

Those are amazing!

Very cute ideas! Thanks for sharing. Great job on your DIY

Great experience! I'll get on posting pictures ASAP

I am planning to make my own invitations as well I found this site when I was searching for how to make invites. You can actually order the paper from this site as well, but there are nice "how-to" videos that I plan to just use those as a guideline and buy my own paper. There are also templates you can download too. Unique Do it Yourself Wedding Invitations Good luck!

Those are beautiful! Etsy is my new favorite site (other than this one of course!!). I ordered some passport covers for my BMs and I felt the same way. It was so personal, so quick and such wonderful quality. I will have to look up your etsy person to order my hair flower. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! An AHR is a good idea as a way to include co-workers. I knew y'all would be able to calm my mini-freak out I don't know what I would do without this website!!

These are gorgeous photos!! Great keepsake from a much deserved getaway

Bless your heart. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I really hope everything works out for you!! Stay strong...I can't imagine how hard that is.

I work for a small public radio station with only about 25 employees. It is a very relaxing, laid-back environment so we tend to know pretty much everything about everyone. I really like the folks I work with, but I'm not sure what to do about inviting them to my DW. The whole point of doing a DW, for us, was to keep it VERY small, having only our best friends and close family there with us. But like I said before, my co-workers, especially those in my department know everything about my wedding and always want to be updated on planning and stuff. I don't want to hurt their feelings by not inviting any of them. I don't want to invite the ones I am closer to and hurt the others. I don't want to have a million people at my wedding. You girls are so good at all this...any advice??

I like it!

We got a tempurpedic...and we love it. I was completely against it at first, but after laying on one in the store for over an hour, I was sold. It is really comfy. It was pricey, but they had a 3 year no interest deal so we couldn't pass it up.
