OMG! I am so sorry! You are very lucky considering how much damage it could have been I worry about this all the time and do not let my dogs go in the guest room AKA wedding room. Good luck fixing it all! Hopefully it won't cost you too much! Thank Goodness you have some time yet and it wasn't next month. Good Luck!

Here is a Pic of my First Aid Kit (My Monogram has a heart and our colors are lime blue so that is why we designed it this way) You can see my issues with corners. Anyone know how to save a word doc that is too big as something else so I can attach it?

Thanks Ladies! I was going to see if there was such a thing as rounding corners since I learned after the fact that ther were circle cutters (painful lesson). I can't PM or email the template as it is huge. I will take a pic (try) tomorrow and post it and if you still want it, I will send it it to you via email if you PM me with your email address which has the size right and the first box filled in with what I chose to do. You will have to cut and paste it into the other boxes on the Word Template (and then center them). Otherwise it is way too big to put it on this site. Thanks!

Welcome! This site is a HUGE help! Congrats and happy planning

So I am on my second to last DIY and all my stuff is off to Mexico next Wednesday...YEAH! I am stuck. I have designed my First Aid Kit lables and have them on a 3x3.5 template to fit the little box on the front of the box. Whay paper did you guys use and how did you do the corners. The box indentation for the sticker ont he front has slightly rounded corners. Did you leave them square or did you round them. Is there an easy way to do this? I did it square and it looked funny. Then I rounded them with siscors, but it still doesn't look right...please help! Thanks

I ordered the velor towels from cotton fruit (the smaller of the 2 sizes) and I found them to be lighter weight and smaller than I wanted. But the price was right for 50 towells adn they look good. My friends that have seen them and know my concerns said they are fine and they are happy to be getting them....for less than$7 and personalized with our location and date....they are fine. I compare them to the typical beach towells I buy myself (I am very particular) so as long as you are not comparing them to huge, thick towells, I am sure you will like them.

UPDATE.....both sets of the labels peeled off on hte ends. I have now done htem for 3rd time but did them in the water resistant 2x4 labels from labels by the sheet. These stuck! Finally

Thanks Alyssa (OMG your new Avatar and pics are amazing...they are probably not new but I have not been online much lately...sorry side note) Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and their new (and old) familes! May this year bring everyone a million things to be thankful for! I know I am thankful for so much more than past recent years due to the current 'engagement', market, and economic situation. I am very blessed to be in love and cherished during such difficult times, as I am sure you are all....or we wouldn't be checking this fantastic site daily.

Such a horrible tragedy! Devastating! I hope no one here was doing DW in India. Thoughts and Prayers to everyone that has family and those that don't that are affected.

Just found these today (mine are done so I lost out), thought someone else might like it. The raffia fans are 8.99 for 12 (less if you buy more). This is cheaper than OTC. Hope this helps someone.

Guess I should have put my earlier post here...sorry if it is now a dup! Vix Swimwear is doing 40% of their already on sale swimsuites: V i X use 40sale as the code. Good through 1/4/09 (also includes free shipping). I buy several of their suits every year and this is the cheapest I have ever gotten one! Yahoo! Going to Cabo in 4 weeks for site visit/Xmas. Going to try to not take all I bought and save them for hte wedding week and honeymoon!

For those of you who love VIX...their Sale swimsuits are an additonal 40% off right now for Thanksgiving! Shop the sale section of V i X They are doign free shipping and use coupon code 40sale to get an additional 40% off. Sales ends 1/4/09 but I do this every year and they go quick.

Happy Turkey Day....Happy Shopping!

I debated with this and figured FC is definitley worth it due to charges for and # of bag allowances and for me ....the most important part was the dress. I don't want anyone squishing it. So, I booked our flights with cash and used miles to upgrade. I will say if you are goign to use miles, sooner is better than later. In 1 week all 1st class seats on my dates were gone. I had to move my return date.

This looks absolutely amazing!!! You have done a great job, it is goign to look fabulous! I have one questions. How did you do your chapstick labels. I have done mine 2x with 2 different types of labels and cannot get them to stay stuck, they keep unraveling. Thanks!

I have been offline for a few weeks due to throwing 4 parties that I handled and cooked for (I have 2 more until I can focus solely on wedding again). So the dress and veil have both arrived. I am now stuck on shoes. It seems that there are no cute "warm weather" shoes out right now. Anyone know where to find a great blue 3+ inch heel right now? I am also looking for hair accessories....my bridal salon wants $300 for a crystal comb....NOT! Thanks Ladies!

Welcome Alexander! I actually emailed you last week. Looks like you only do orders of 50 or more. Do you ever make exceptions to this? We love your products~

We are doing 30 bags and included 1 towell per person so our's are a bit more. I have spent a little over $1k, but this includes specialty items for my 3 non-BM's and 3 mother's bags & 1 Gma bag. More than I wanted but I think people will enjoy them.

Darling!!!!

I don't live in SD anymore but did for 8 years and all my friends are there. My wedding photographer that I am flying to Mexico is in San Diego and they are AMAZING-Luna Photo: san diego wedding photographer - san diego wedding photography by lunaphoto, luna photography Mike and Paula are fabulous!

You can definitely do this in 8 mos. I started at just shy of 9 and I am already done and I am 4 mos away. I had hoped for 25 people and now 50 are going so if you are doing a DW to save money, know who you absolutely want to be there and ensure they can make it. Everyonne else is icing on the cake. I wish mine had not grown so big as it is now just as expensive as a full 200 person wedding here. I went to an amazing wedding with only 7 people in Zihuatanejo and we had a better time than big wedding I have been to. If not everyone goes, you are able to really share your special day with those you love most!

Have a wonderful trip and beautiful wedding~
