If you are doing it directly onto the envelope (which is what I did) I just formatted my excel spreadsheet so that when I hit print it printed properly on the envelope and I copied and pasted the address information from another tab. I can set something up if you'd like. Wow I am totally confused! I am going to print right on envelopes (hopefully). I really like your excel file, esp. since it kept track of all of those categories. If you could give me instructions on how to do it from the excel file you made I would really appreciate it! You are so helpful, thanks so much!!

Oh and major props to all of you with the sweets swearing off... wow! Maybe I should do that until November.... nah!

I am so freaking jealous you lucky girl!!!

In terms of wanting to include pics in your word doc, what is the easiest way to do that so you can just use it when you copy/paste to the planning thread when it's time? Put it in the format given on photobucket and just copy/paste that code? I'm not getting married til November, but I don't want to wait until then to start my planning thread (I'm a dork). Let me know what you guys have found to be the best way!

Excel file girls-- How easy was it to print envelopes or address labels from the excel file? Did you copy and paste or export or what? I think we talked about excel one time in college and I must not have been there that day! Thanks for all your help!

Okay so it's been one week and almost 2 days since COFFEE... and I am hurting. I guess thats the whole point of this right?!? My question is.... did any of you give up anything? What? How's it going

And have you known anyone to get married on IOP beach, what did they do as far as photography? I know pictures can be taken there because I saw pics of a wedding there on theknot.com. I have a friend getting married there in May, I'll ask her exactly what they are doing. They are getting married at the Citadel beach house though, so that might be considered 'private'. IOP is more touristy and built up (in terms of restaurants)... and Folly is kind of more surfer/hippie, but later on in the day they are both nice, etc. The "beach" parts of them are about the same. I know both beaches have "event houses" where you can do your reception after your beach ceremony, etc. On that note, a lot of the beach houses are strictly "no event" houses and you will be evicted if there are more than a certain number there (even the huge houses)... so be careful of that. Do you know where you'd want to do a reception yet?

Here's a link: Foley + Corinna Metallic Linen Cocktail Dress Hope that helps! Thanks Heather! I'm not sure I can justify 2 sq ft of fabric for $400... although it is super cute!

Malisa-- Your pics are absolutely beautiful! Where was your TTD exactly? I am getting married in Tulum in November 09, and I'm trying to just get an idea of the kinds of things I'd like to do... and those caves are one of them! Thanks for you info!

Sarah-- Your wedding was amazing! Thanks for the review! Two quick ? (I'm sure it won't be my last) : 1. Did DT provide the chair sashes? Or did you have an outside vendor? Either way, how much were they and were there a lot of colors to choose from? 2. Did you pay the private fee for your rehearsal dinner? What is it for '09? Thanks in advance!

Ana--- you found the cutest clothes! Where did you find the first silver dress? I LOVE IT!

I am in LOVE with your Jamaica reception dress! You are going to look amazing in all of them

Dior "Diorshow" in waterproof... it's amazing

Still need to get the groom dressed as well as the bridesmaids and groomsmen....and ALL the decorations need to be figured out. But there's still time for all of that. Just wanted to introduce myself to the group and say hi!! Christina Hey girl! Welcome! I'm getting married on November 28th at DT! What days will you be there? Do you have a TA? You have accomplished a lot, all I've done is finish my STD's! haha.

Ohhh I think it's super cute! And its pretty nice- so you'll always have it to remember your wedding, and/or to pass on!

You are so right... if I didn't live here, this would be my dream wedding place I live in James Island, right by Folly Beach (where I've seen a few weddings) and I'm going to a wedding soon out of the Isle of Palms. Let me know if you need me to do some leg work for you...

Thanks for all your help girl, I'm sure it's not the last you'll hear from me I think we're the only two on here this late at night since we're at work, haha!
