Congratulations!! There's a ton of helpful planning info on the forum - have fun searching around!!

I really like those! Great job! It must feel great to have designed them!

Great finds & thanks for sharing!!

Great job! I love the bags!!

You look terrific!! Seriously, what swelling?!? It's the perfect combination of detail & simplicity for a DW! Great choice!

Love the color & halter style! They picked a great dress!

I'm so jealous! I miss Chicago & all of the street festivals & especially the Taste! (Just moved from there last year) You could try Evanston, it's the 1st suburb just north of the city & is pretty quick to downtown. Just stay near the Metra or purple L lines. There's a bunch of hotels but here's one that's pretty inexpensive: Best Western University Plaza (Evanston, IL) - Hotel Reviews - TripAdvisor Enjoy the Best Western University Plaza hotel in Evanston, Illinois. (link to hotel above) Here's another hotel in Oak Park (1st suburb just west of the city & takes about 20-30 min to get downtown on the green L line) Carleton Hotel and Motor Inn (Oak Park, IL) - Hotel Reviews - TripAdvisor It's an older hotel & might not be what you're looking for. Both towns are really nice & have a lot to do/see aside from downtown Chicago. Also, have you tried Travelocity or one of those travel sites? Good luck!

Congratulations, you look great!! You must be so excited!

Congratulations! You will find so much great info on this forum! Have fun searching it & planning!

I noticed them yesterday too - how fun!

Wow! How crappy is that?!? Sorry you have to go through all that, but I guess it's better to do it the right way now than to learn after the fact that there's a problem. Talk about icing on the cake - a speeding ticket? I hate that they take your license, I've had it done before & it sucks. If you join a motor club (AAA, etc) they give you a bond card that you can use for tickets (doesn't help you now, I know). Getting a state ID is def a good idea!

Congratulations! Have fun searching around the forum & planning!

Can't believe you actually took time to post while you're there!! Ha! So jealous! Have a wonderful time and congratulations!!! Enjoy every minute!

Love the colors! Congrats on getting them done!!

Those are really cute! Nice idea!

Congratulations! Glad to hear everyone loved Dreams & I can't wait to read your review of it all. I'll PM you.

Those are both really good ideas - thanks so much! We've got a lot to think about. You might be right, Jess, about the cost. I need to email Rebeca to check on that. I agree, it would be really nice to go into town if we want a dinner. And if we don't end up doing a dinner, a welcome happy hour just to touch base w/ people would totally work.

Love your invitations! And thanks so much for the link to cards & pockets! That's exactly what I need!

Hi girls - quick question. Are you doing a welcome dinner somewhere or a get together at Dreams once everyone gets there? I'd like to do something at Dreams, like drinks/appetizers on the beach but I'm guessing that could get pricey. Does anyone have a price list for something like that? If not I'll just email Rebeca again. Thanks!

Going for fun and colourful! Still haven't attempted to cut anymore of the 'indents' out. Trying to figure out the best way to go about it. Only problem I'm having...so far! lol Thanks for the compliments. I put so many hours in to them. Loving the way they're comming out besides my one issue... Super cute! Really nice job & like the creativity of different jacket colors. For those small indents, we just folded that last little flap over (at the perforation or if you didn't perforate, where the straight part of the card ends) & used a small corner rounder. They came out fine for the most part although we did lose a few to funky cutting. FI was in charge of the rounding and seemed to get his method down, kinda funny to see him in action. We had to buy a small rounder though, cuz the medium size we originally had was way off. Hmm, just went back & saw that you're ready to mail them! Nice! Glad you got it all figured out!

This link might help too - it's to The Perfect Palette blog & they have a lot of color inspiration boards that they used for weddings. You can search by color on the left. Hope that helps! The Perfect Palette

Agreed! You look amazing (& I like black too)! I don't think it looks too short in the torso, but only you know how it feels on. Would exchanging it for a medium help there? I wish VS carried all their bathing suits in stores, would make life so much easier. Good luck!

Congratulations! You two look so happy together! And thanks for sharing your review & pics - we all love to read them! And Phillybride - congrats to you! You'll be married before you know it! Have a wonderful time!
