I LOVE this idea! I wanted to do something similar but wasn't sure how it would look - I love it! Thanks for sharing!

I went to the web site, but there are no prices! What size is yours and what did they quote you? Thanks girl!

Okay - so we sent out STD's in March for our November 09 wedding, and of course we've heard back from lots of ppl. We plan on doing formal invites in June or July with an RSVP (there was none with the STD). We have a lot of ppl (125) and I am making my invitations by hand - so that's a lot of time and effort! Do I have to send invites to those who have already said they aren't coming? It would save me a lot of time not to, but I am willing to do it if it's the correct etiquette. Any advice?

Denise - your pics are awesome! I bet you are so excited! I second SunBride... could you give us some pricing info? Also, did you them there for just the ceremony? Thanks!

Has anyone received their dress yet? Can you post pics Did you like it?

KatyKo- did you ever end up using her?

LOVE the outfit girl, your FI is going to be excited! Now I just need to find a friend who would be willng to do this...

Heather- Those are great! What a creative idea - I'd love to know what your guests have done with them... do they hang them somewhere or what?

Quick question - what font is everyone using for the monogram parasols?

Your invites are amazing!!! Sarah is seriously the best!

Awww man, I just saw that you posted the size... too big for me... I hope someone gets them!!!

In response to the question, we just sent out STD's in March, so I am going to wait a little while... the STD and web site are basically all the info the guests need for travel, etc. the invite is kind of just a formality at this point. I feel like we'll pretty much know who's coming or not by the time the invite goes out! I know there are always the last minute ppl though. So I'm thinking June or July is a good time for us And JESS! I didn't even realize that was you posting until someone commented on your new pic... it is SUPER cute, I love it!

In finished mine this weekend, thanks to a team effort on my fiance, mom, my sister's, and my part. here is the pink parasol that we spray painted just for practice. We used one of the crappy parasols just in case the paint messed it up. Mother of the Bride parasol: Mother of the Groom: Big G with date parasol: Gracias parasol: We did a parasol for the two mothers, two for our BMs, and one that says "Gracias" instead of thank you since we're getting married in Mexico. How we did our parasols: We used black shimmer acrylic paint. We used a projector on all of the parasols that have words on them. My FI then traced in pencil (not a mechanical pencil but one that had a fairly dull tip so it wouldn't break through the paper). We then traced over the pencil in a very thin Sharpie because we found it was much easier to fill in the lettering with paint when there was a dark outline as opposed to the pencil outline. My mom painted the mother parasols and I did the rest. My sister helped me a tiny bit with one of the parasols that has the big G. We have two "G" parasols. Those are absolutely gorgeous! You guys did an amazing job! I was going to buy mine, but maybe just maybe it'll be my next DIY!! I don't know, it looks pretty hard... I didn't see where you found the parasols? Maybe it was hidden in another thread?

Quote: Originally Posted by jt20 I love your STDs!!! Can you tell me what font you used? Sure! The cursive writing is "PetraScript" or "Petra" which you can actually download on the BDW site (I think its on the DIY forum). The block lettering is "Copperplate Gothic Light" which is on most Microsoft Word programs as a font standard. I hope this helps! Let me know if you need help finding the "Petra"!

I was thinking of doing something similar! Thanks for posting!

Here is one of the cookies, my sis took a pic so I could actually see what they look like!

Quote: Originally Posted by scottgm2 love your design, do we know what size the circle cut is. Would love to try and make these for all my mailouts I got a 2" circle cut, and the pic it's shown in is on an A2 envelope so they look a little bigger. I got a 1.5" circle cut as well, but I liked the bigger one! They have all sizes, so it's your preference!

Thanks for the advice! I ordered my crystals and mylar paper (GREAT deals!) on ebay the other day.... SO excited, I will post as soon as I'm done!

From reading all your posts I seriously need to catch up. Jess, I ordered a sample scarf from the site you posted above, and I can confirm that the quality is good :-) YAY! Thanks girls! Now if only I could get a count of how many I need... haha

These look amazing! Congrats... I know it was a lot of hard work

This is AWESOME! It feels so good to check things off the list!!!
