Marny, I uploaded my logo (from Allurements by Rebecca) to the Vista Print site. I had to resize it a bit but I was able to use it to make the t shirts and hats. There is an extra charge for uploading your own design but it was still a bargain! I used one of their designs for my Sunset at the Palms theme. I used this design for my welcome letters, travel brochures, and std's. Thanks to info found on this forum I used VP for most of my bulk printing!! Tammy

My centerpieces wil be 653 and 654 on the floral fantasies website. Floral Fantasy; Flowers for All Occasions from Negril, Jamaica / Seasonal Occasions. I just bought fuschia chair sashes from wedding linens direct home page. I don't know if I need table runners or if that is just overkill? I like the idea of the large cylinders of limes which open the tables up a bit, but I don't know if the roses and orchids provide enough color to the table or if it still needs some more bling?

I bought 30 chair sashes from wedding linens direct home page in fuschia. They were $50 including shipping. I will let everyone know the quality when I receive them. I am considering ordering the chair covers also. It is $200 to rent them from the resort and about $120 to purchase from this site. I can use them again for my AHR. I just haven't decided if I want to bother with the hassle of transporting them! Tammy

Am I crazy or is this dress just like the one Jacilynda has for sale?

Okay, here is my ring. I love it. We looked at tons of rings and I liked the vintage style. Sorry the pics aren't very clear.

I ordered hats for the BMs and GMs bags. I ordered XL tshirts for the BMs so they can use them as pajamas. I am going to get pink boyshorts to go with them for the girls. Only the BMs got the items with my pink and green logo on them (thanks Rebecca!). I didn't think my FI's "boys" would appreciate them!

These are the t shirts and hats. I ordered all of my personalized items from vista print. I just waited for the 50% off coupon and ordered. I got 30 t shirts for 160$. Each time they offer a free one I get it and those ar $4.74 each.

Ok so here's pics of my bags and the contents. The bags have hand sanitizers, a candle, a notepad, a pen, moist cooling wipes, color changing cup, tshirt, a hangover kit, a welcome letter, and itinerary. I will buy some snacks closer to the date we leave. This is my first try at posting pics so wish me luck....

Thank you all so much for the support. I was feeling pretty bad today but after reading everyone's comments I am humbled by how many truly nice people there are on this forum. It sure would be great to get my personal items back, but I am not going to bank on it. Thanks guys!

Happy birthday! I hope you enjoy your day!!

I have no idea how I could have been so stupid....I went to an event on friday night and then to dinner. All of these events were in Beverly Hills (where I work) and then we went to another restaurant/club in a somewhat seedy area of Los Angeles. (definately not my idea, which is why I usually drive my own car!) I left my briefcase in the car and of course it was stolen. They broke the window of the truck and took my briefcase and my girlfriend's purse. I am so bummed! Of course besides all the usual headache of replacing id and cancelling credit cards I added to my worries because I left my checkbook and keys in the car( I was riding with one of my male friends). Therefore I had to replace the locks on the doors because my checkbook with my address was in my briefcase. I am just kicking myself! I was at the dmv yesterday today I am going to social security. The things that can be replaced but just p..sed me off: I had just went to the post office on friday to purchase the stamps for my invitations and rsvp cards!! I had the gift cards from my birthday and christmas in my wallet. I was saving these to buy honeymoon stuff. Gift cards to Victoria's secret, Macys and Bath and bodyworks, PF Chang, and Katana--(my fave restaurant) My new business cards and card case. The earrings that i had just found for my BM's! Medication (that my copay after the insurance coverage is $275.) My makeup bag, which included all of my brushes and the new makeup I had purchased for the wedding. My appointment book, I am so lost without it! Car keys and about $160 cash...I had taken 200 out of the bank for weekend and took 40 inside just in case I needed some $. A photo of my cousin as a child who just passed away this year. (unreplaceable) Needless to say I am so sad and mad at myself. Its like I am walking around naked. I have to go back to that neighborhood today to file a police report. FI is in law enforcement and said that I should definately report it. I don't think I will get any of the items back so I did not think it was important. But since my social security card was in my wallet it makes my identity easier to steal. Well thanks for listening ladies. It felt good just to vent. I can't say too much to FI because he thinks I am an idiot for leaving it in the car. Tammy

Your bags are so cute! Good job1

Thanks, I will look tomorrow because I have been looking for eye masks for my hangover kits!! I will let you know what I find at my Target!

Beautiful dresses! i love your colors! Congrats on finding your dress!

Thanks for the info. I found some small bottles of lotion for $1.00! I got these for my OOT bags. Great find. I bought them in warm vanilla sugar which I hoped was somewhat neutral, not too girly I hope...

"Just remember that when God closes a door he opens a window." I love this! I am so sorry that you are going through this now while you are trying to plan a wedding. So not fair! But KC had it right and I am sure you will find something soon! Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers!

Everything looked so beautiful! Congratulations!

They are gorgeous! I will pm you!

I love the idea of the Gift certificates. I think your guests will love it. I think all in all it will save time and money. I have found that to do the bags right it is actually quite costly!

From the outside looking in your wedding looked picture perfect! Beautiful photos! Congratulations!

I am having my guests wear a color theme. This is how I am doing it in my invitations. (Thanks Ana!) "The dress code for the wedding is Beach chic. We are requesting the ladies to wear any form of pink and the gentlemen to wear any form of white. We want our photos to show us as one large wedding party! Flip flops and bare feet are welcome, as the ceremony is in the sand! So far everyone seems to be rather receptive to the idea. We are tossing our shells into the ocean and the pics should be great.

Hi, I have been trying to purchase fuschia sashes from wedding linens direct home page but they have been sold out. I still have a little time...

Those are so cute! Congrats on getting them sent out!!

In our relationship I am the one with the health issues. I have cardiomyopathy (a weakend heart muscle) and congestive heart failure. Needless to say I have scared off many a boyfriend with my health issues. My FI is so great about it all, the pills, the hospital visits and the seemingly endless doctor's appointments. I do believe that it takes a special kind of person and a special kind of love to deal with people who have chronic illnesses. The thing to remember is that as hard as it is on those who have to care for us, it is just as hard for those of us who have medical issues to let you care for us!

Katie, I love your vows. I think I just might have to steal them!!!
