Do you have pictures of your finished product? Please share.

I have not been a member long but love the site. How do we go about getting Sub-Forums added to Dominican Republic group. In particular, Vendors, Resorts/Venues and Reviews. My apology if this has already been addressed.

I am waiting on the WC to send me a map for my welcome book. However responses are sometimes slow and I wanted to look at a map for planning purposes..so I stumbled upon this site. Some are clearer than others. Nonetheless, it may help! Resort Maps of Caribbean and Mexico - photos of lodging & accomodations in Caribbean on Worldisround

Does anyone have more information on the wedding boat? Do you have a website etc?

Thanks everyone! I agree that the first is simple but I just could not part with the peacocks! :-) I will use #1! Overwhelmed I have not had the time to update per your recommendations....someday when its time to put together my next project I finalize. Also I found a way to use #2 on the passport cover booklets. #1 will be on everything else.

here is another in MS Word template-passport.doc

Congrats and thanks for the information. I am working with the Jellyfish now trying to lock in details. Thanks for sharing your rates brings down a lot of anxiety for me with budgeting.

try eBay.com I found this vendor Balinese Blue Flags 4 metre (pair) Bali Umbul - eBay (item 230409295245 end time Apr-06-10 02:25:34 PDT)

Congratulations and Welcome! You found the right place to get you going with your planning. Be sure to join the other DR brides.

Yes, you are being hard on yourself about the 5 lbs. You will loose those pounds!! I ABSOLUTELY love the booklet!! I just printed one in Spanish. Oh this was a real gem to add to my list. Not sure if I will do pre-travel package or welcome bags. Nonetheless...they are on my list!!! :-)

I might order a few - it's only 0.95 per - Pioneer Photo Album FC-146E 36-Pocket 4x6 Insert Your Own Cover Let us know how they turn out when you order them.

thanks for the template! Do you have one for your Vista Print. That was an EXCELLENT idea. I wanted to do bookmarks also! Also thanks for the coil key rings been looking for a good deal on those also. I just love OT!

Then my FI said that may be a bit distracting. So I'm still brainstorming.

looks great!!! I need to catch up! :-)

WOW, this is exciting! I will stay close for pictures. I love the idea of the framing the certificate for your home.

I start with personal trainer tomorrow. but I've had a migraine all day...hope I get better by tomorrow.

I found the vendor on ebay I will let you know how they turn out.

I'll add these to my list! A BDW bride used these for her passport welcome books. I am thinking about using them for wedding programs. MBI Flex Removable Cover 4x6 Album (24 Pocket)

I love it...leave it alone! :-)

love the pics

Some suggestions could be: - A slightly darker pink - To include the same kind of pink somewhere else in the monogram, maybe in the center of the feather? Or add them to the feathery lines going outwards (sorry, hard to describe that part) - Instead of writing it all on one line, writing "Punta Cana" over "Dominican Republic" - Make the Punta Cana & DR words closer to the rest Hope that helps! Thanks for the detail suggestions. I was just talking to my FI and he said the same about the pink in the bottom. He didn't see it at first. I think I may throughout the pink...I was trying so hard to keep it there.

Hello BDW Family! I'm still trying to perfect our monogram..but wanted to get some feedback. I trust you all will guide me in the right direction. #1 - What do you think of the colors...and overall. #2 - I'm going to take out the shadow because it looks a little busy. But with that change overall is it too much going on? Thanks in advance for your feedback...you ladies & gents ROCK!

niiiice! Ms. Superstar. I'm going to look for the next class.
