Oh my, that is such hard news to deal with. It is even more compounded when you are dealing with babies and children too. My thoughts go out to you and your family!

What a beautiful wedding. I just loved your flowers! EM does amazing work and captured your wedding so beautifully!

Yikes, I am a day late posting, but I hope you had the most fabulous day ever! I am sure you guests will love all of your amazing crafts and DIYs . Also positive that you are the most beautiful bride. Cant wait to see pics!

Opps, I used arapen los cabos for live musicians. I did a mexican harp and guitar duo, they were awesome, they have a huge list of music to pick from too.

I used DJ Ricardo and he was absolutely amazing! He is so attentive to the bride and your preferences. I allowed my guests to make requests but he still made sure they were OK with me. He also had a great team with him, walking the micro phone around for speeches so no one had to walk around or look for people , no silence. He was totally professional and an totally cool dude too! pic:

Fun!! Love them!

First, i am so sorry for the accident and send prayer for a full and speedy recovery for your FIL. Second, thank you for the detailed review and taking th tiem to write it. Look forward to many pics!

AND thats the choice/risk we take when we plan a Destination wedding.. It will be ok and your day will STILL be beautiful no matter what! Ditto! Well said!

Beautiful I loved how everything was classic and clean, no clutter

Good Luck!

voted.. good luck

Okay- here are my other 2:

OH nice, I will bring mine over and we can compare the paper to let Ana know the difference. A

Quote: Originally Posted by *Heather* I love it Erika! You did such a great job. Can you take pics of the actual books so we can see them? Hehe you know we love pics What size books did you get? Can you insert text wherever you want? I'm going to use Blurb when I get our wedding pics and I want to put our ceremony script in it - do you think that's possible? I think I'll be emailing you a billion questions when it's time to do mine, hehe. Yours is awesome! Yes that is the beauty of blurb, you start with a blank slate and can do what ever you want, text where ever you want. It is great. There is a little learning curve but after that it is pretty fun and goes fast. You know I am always here for questions. Pics soon

Do you have coupon codes that are still valid? They have coupons all the time, right now I have one for free shipping , but they also give you the most current coupon code at check out. so that is nice.

Quote: Originally Posted by Ana awesome job Erika! It looks so great! How is the paper quality? is it kind of thick or is it thin? I am thinking to get a few of those books made for our parents too I used the premium paper- I think it was $4-$6 extra, and it is pretty thickish- more so than shutterfly books I have made in the past. Quote: Originally Posted by kate.com You are putting me to shame woman! How long did it take you to make? How long to ship? Love it by the way! I ordered it Nov 23rd and got it Dec 2nd. Not too bad for production and print and shipping time, and I had a free shipping coupon. I spend prob about 13 hours total making the layout and setting the pictures. Quote: Originally Posted by JUSTUSTWO Erika, I LOVE IT! You did a great job! Are you giving them out as Christmas gifts? I'm sure they will be a big hit. Yes X-mas gifts for my sister, all 3 sets of parents, and grandma. (they all let me use my free shipping coupon to hawaii for grandma.. awesome!)

Oh and I used the image wrap cover, super fun and cool and I printed on premium paper. It is really worth the extra 6 bucks.

I just figured out how to preview my entire wedding book so I wanted to share. Thanks to Andi for turning me on to blurb and the 20% off coupon and the free shipping. I just got 4 in the mail today and LOVE them, so professional looking!!! It did take quite a few hours to get the book together and learning how to use the book smart program but I love it all in the end. Thanks to Andi and Yael for the late night questions and many emails -XOXO Many thanks to all the other brides as I used many ideas that i saw! erika and evan | 11.6.09 | Book Preview

Wow! Everything looks great! I loved all the little details and your day sounds so relaxing, that is how mine was to, just peaceful!

Love all your stuff! How fun!! Thanks for the shout out!
