JENISE

Congrats Wendy. You pictures look fab and I LOVE you dress! Gorgeous. Can I ask where you got your sandals? They are TOO cute.

Eliana, I'm so jealous you got that dress. I'm dying to see it on you. Email me a pic when you can! Congrats! Glad it all worked out great for you.

Chrisitine......OMG! Absolutely beautiful! Your necklace was perfect! How'd Will like the BD book? I'm sure by the look on his face, that he loved it! Your little girl is adorable. Love the picture of you guys making funny faces. It looked like a magical day. Congrats! I'm still waiting on my full report! lol Gotta chat about the NJ meetup. Congrats on the photos. Can't wait to see them ALL

Where in NJ are you?

I just got my towels today and they are great but the diffusers are just about empty I can't give them out like that (they look full in the picture, wonder what happened)

Those are cute. I think I'll anxiously await for you other items so I can look and possibly purchase a bunch of stuff at the same time. Very convenient that you are in NJ also!

Beautiful pictures! Congrats to you and your daughter. Her dress looks amazing!

Beautiful bride! Gorgeous dress. Good luck selling it!

I think the rhyme is super cute. Needs just a touch of tweeking. Let's see if this helps: He proposed and she said yes! Where we're getting married you'll never guess. It wont be in summer, but the cold month of January. Outside won't be snowy, there's no need to worry. It's gonna be really hot, we can promise you that. You wont need a parka, boots, or a hat! So where are we going? Well, we'll tell you right now. We're going to Jamaica mon, can't wait to go down! We'll be celebrating Jan 8th-15th so you've got a bit of a wait. We're gonna have an amazing time so be sure to save the date! Don't know if you like it or even if it's more flowy but sometimes, a different perspective is good. Good luck with whatever you decide. You started it great! Very creative!

Congrats Kelly. Your TTD pictures are beautiful. Loooove your funny face picture. Lol. Just goes to show how mych fun you really had during the shoot.

Thanks for the great detailed review. Sorry everything didn't go according to plan Honesty is always appreciated on this site! I'm sure it'll help all the DLR brides alot! Glad to hear you're pleased with your pictures. Can't wait to see them!

I think you can still do kind of generic things. How bout: Axe body spray Flip flops Cigars/lighters Waterproof wallet Beer koozie Bottle opener Just to name a few. Hope this helps.

Hey Di, Happy wedding day. Based on your planning thread, I'm sure everything is going to be FABULOUS. Congrats and can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!

You looked absolutely beautiful. Glad to hear you had a good time. BTW, you're hairpiece is STUNNING. I love it!!! Congrats!

Thanks so much for the review. Everything look amazing. Love you e-ring (looks a lot like mine) Love your horse and carriage ride. Those pics must have been so beautiful. What a unique entrance. You are a beautiful bride and I'm really happy to hear you had a great time. Congrats on becoming a Mrs. (My, your hubby is tall!) lol

Hey Christine, Welcome back Mrs! I'm jealous that I didn't get the spilling of the guts. LOL. j/k Glad to see your home safe and sound and that you had a great time. Once you unpack and get settled, I'll be waiting for a full report! And we have our NJ meetup soon so that's something else to look forward too.

I vote for #2. It's different and beautiful!

Again, beautiful work! I love the orchid curtains too! You guys are great!

They look beautiful. And the awesome thing about real touch flowers is they won't wilt and you can keep them forever as a reminder of your magical day. Those who frowned upon not getting real flowers, probably won't even know yours are fake unless you tell them. Congrats!

Thanks for the heads up. I actually picked up a few today! They smell so yummy!

Personally, I would send out the invites 3 months prior to the block discount expiring. I don't think it's ever TOO early. Some people like to book their vacation with plenty of time so they don't stress last minute. 3 months will give people plenty of time to take advantage of the discount or shop around for a competitive price. As far as the brochure goes, I think it depends on what kind of brochure it is. Me and my FI are putting together a "brochure" that's more of like a "Thank you for booking, this is what you have to look forward to" kind of packet. If this is what you are doing, I would send them out to your guest about a month before your wedding. I think by doing so, you'll remind your guests that the big day is fast approaching and it will get them excited about going. Hope this helps ya.

Since my wedding is in July they said they would make them just like I see them on the website, and send them out as a "ready to go" item. The only difference would be I couldn't see them and make changes. But honestly, I like them just the way they are. I'm just adding some blue Rhinestones for some added color/bling to the white roses which she said they could do. I can't wait to see them!! I also got mine here: Natural Touch, Soft Touch Roses, Floramatique Wedding Flowers I chose the NT Orchid Mix....can I ask what size you got yours in. I think I chose the 9 inch and now I'm wondering if its too small. I'm anxiously awaiting for them to come in at the beginning of August

I already have my invitations ordered and the programs in the DIY stage but I'm trying to think of creative things for the welcome bags. What have you all done that could be tweaked to fit winter? Hmmm, lets see. Some things that come to mind that are relatively inexpensive are gloves/mittens chapstick hot chocolate packets hand warmers snowflake keychain fuzzy socks snow globes and then off course you can add the regular stuff like crossword books, hand sanitzers, candles, etc. Hope this helps a bit

Great review. Love your siggy pic. Glad to hear you had a magical day! Congrats.

They look really cute. It's a unique save the date and I'm sure it WILL get your guests excited about coming. Congrats.
