I have bean searching for days on BDW and can only find templates for these in a power point format. Do that many people have powerpoint out there?! I'm impressed lol I already got all the materials I need to make this adorable must have for my oot bag.... now I cant figure out how to make the words follow the edge of the tag hmm Has anyone used word to create these that can share a template? or any tips? Thanks ahead of time.

I'm using DJ Tino... Ive heard from other brides that he's awsome, he's also the most popular. Unless you are looking very specific I wouldnt go through the trouble of bringing one with you... I will let you know how he was. I am bringing the photographer though... I figured pictures last forever. He also hapens to be a friend of ours. and is coming for the week... which is cool the whole week will be photographed. So its worth it we are paying for the hotel fees for he and his wife n exchange,

I'm still not exactly sure on how to reply and copy with quotes and all of that. I just wanted to thank you guys for your support... its nice to know that your not the only one that this kinda thing happens to. And empathetic words to make me feel like im not crazy for being so upset. But for an update: I have one of those friends booked. The one who is pregnant. Its 6 weeks until the wedding!... and I wouldnt be surprised if she bailed. But I have calmed down. I took the advice of not lashing out... and realized. I still want my day to be beautiful and special. I realized that I have to get to organizing and planning crunch time. I cant occupy my mind on people who just dont give a sh*t about me. I still havent spoken to two of them. I'm sure they will act like we havent skipped a beat after the wedding haha ..... I'm just enjoying planning all the details. And feel so over the friend thing. Yes I'm probably hard and bitter which is better than a doormat anyday.

I know exactly how you feel... I always knew that i was ignoring all these big elephants in the room with my friends..... just because i really do love them and have had them around forever. But this for me to is the straw that broke the camels back. I dont think its wrong... think this is a turning point for the better.

I know this has been discussed but I need to be talked off a ledge here:( First I gave everyone 18 months notice on our plans for the Aruba wedding.... Including my 3 best friends. I offered to pay everyones airfare and party expenses such as dresses ect... My MOH is someone I have been friends with since we are 8 years old. And the other two almost just as long. They all accepted the invitation. My MOH has special circumstances so I offered to pay for the whole trip for both her and her kids. She backed out 3 months prior to the wedding after I had confronted her about her distance. She says she doesn't want me to pay for her to go. Understood.... But why string me along promising me if you felt this way. I did not giver her a hard time but now she won't answer my call or texts. The other BM says it's a financial issue. And it's not, in reality she just didn't care enough to plan on going. Her and her husband have great jobs and no kids. The third BM was just married in august then got pregnant right away. I automatically counted her out. Then she calls and says She got clearance from the doctor last week.... And that she would be coming. I was so surprised and excited to have a friend come. But now it seems like she still won't commit. She says now she is waiting for work clearance. wTF! Everytime I say hey let me buy ur dress or ticket she gives me the runaround. I wish she never told me she was coming... I spent a whole month crying trying to get over the idea that nobody will be coming for me besides my mom and brother. And all three of my friends have written me off since wedding planning started. I did nothing to deserve this. I feel it's time to do the same to them and move on. I feel alone, hurt, depressed, have nobody to be excited about things girls get excited about with. I can go on and on. But I feel like they aren't as good as friends I have made them out to be in my head. Sorry for the long post. Thanks for listening if you made it through. Wish I would have known that zero of my guests were coming I feel like I'm eloping now!

#2 LOVE it... Its the one i wanted! But both ook beautiful on you. Cant go wrong here!

I seen this frame used in one of the bdw slideshows and it turns out beautifully. Thank you this thread helped me find where to buy it from. I was wondering what everyone was planning on using during the ceremony to pour the sand in the frame? In the slide show she used huge nautical shells. After some looking around I found that they where expensive. Just was wondering if anyone had different items or a good deal somewhere. Thanks

Thanks you for sharing your video you looked beautiful and your wedding fabulous. I don't know if you still check this site after your wedding but if you happen to read this... I was hoping you would share where you got your sand ceremony kit. Its beautiful! I hope you get this. Thanks and congrats again

You looked beautiful... and so did everything else!! And it looks like you guys had a blast! Thanks for sharing

Congrats to Both of you!! What a fabulous wedding!! I agree very inspirational... Thank you for sharing

So Beautiful!!! I watched it twice!!

 Hi katie, how are you making out? Did Kim ever get back to you? I'm getting married at the occidental grand Aruba in march 2011! I wanted to tell you that it has been wonderful working with them so far. Kim does take awhile to get back to you if she is overloaded. I stayed at this resort with my FH in 2008.... And for an all inclusive it's one of the best in quality, service and value. It also helps if you know someone with timeshare there.... If you book your wedding using their timeshare acct info everyone can get an unbelievable discount. I hope it's working out for you where ever your location is. If I can be of any help to you.... Please let me know. Congrats and good luck! Grace

We are getting married in Aruba on March 25th 2011, and I know it will come quick. Thought a DW would be easy, like I'd just have to show up.... but this is even more work. Thanks to all the members here, I have organized some of my ideas. thanks Grace

What informaton were included in the pockets? I was just wondering because I feel like theres so much to say... so these invites are perfect!! Very nice
