  2. Hi ladies, I just wanted to comment on the issue that has come up in regards to dc22173's Clear starfish. If you look at the time line below I was to return from our trip on 10/6 with Futurmrsjrj's wedding 8 days after my return. This was an issue with DWbridetobe and myself when Futuremrsjrj wanted to be added to the list, since i didnt think 8 days would be suffice time for the starfish to get to her in time and DWbridetobe was worried that Futuremrsjrj's return date would be cutting it too close for her own wedding. Due to futuremrsjrj's saying that this would be enough time we both added her to the list. I tried my best to send the starfish off as soon as I possibly could and I managed to send it off the very next day, 10/7 so that would have been 7 days until her wedding (to be clear it was never said that we would send the starfish the day we returned, the dates on list are there to show our travel times.) I really am not trying to step on anyones toes here but I did my part and did what was agreed upon. I really hope no blame gets put on me since I did send off the starfish during the specified timeline and it is not my fault if it did not reach her in time. Also for clarification purposes, the starfish has not been returned to me with any notice due to insufficient postage nor an unknown address so even though it was unfortunate what happened with futuremrsjrj I am really hoping the starfish is sitting in her mailbox or sitting in her house and she will pass it on to DWbridetobe, upon her return.

  4. Thank you Krista!! I loved that we both used gerbera daisies!! Thank you, I swear i think H thought I was crazy running around with this idea in my head for the flower initials...I just knew it would work lol
  5. Thank you everyone...all your feedback is definitely noted and appreciated! I totally wish that I had bought my own, they told me that I would be able to use theirs at no extra cost and when we met once we were there, they told me that they would have to look into it and there would be an extra charge...we we ended up with the red, which was no biggie. Aww thanks Dubbs..H is always doing things like that for me, i love it! hehe thanks Brandy!!! I love them so much! It actually took longer to find those shoes than what I actually wore them lol with it having sprinkled earlier it was too hard to do a lot of walking in them hehe Aww thank you so much!
  6. Hi gals!! We're back and not only did we have an amazing time in cancun, but our wedding day was just awesome!! We had a small wedding of 17 people and it was so perfect, everyone got along and there was no drama!! We did have a little bit of rain and a TON of wind so our wedding reception was moved indoors. We did get to have the ceremony in the gazebo since it was covered, but our reception could not be on the terrace as planned since there was no covering. But the space that we got was so much better than the terrace because it was a super nice place, one side of the room was glass so we got an awesome view of the beach, we had our own private terrace so when the rain stopped our guests could go out and enjoy the weather, we actually had our fire dancers and our 1st dance out there...and best of all the room had AC!!! lol not that it really helped as we were all drenched in sweat from dancing all night long! But then again it would have been worse outside, so then no one would have wanted to dance lol anywho Ive gabbed enough, i just wanted to share a picture of our little guy in my bouquet. I also sent the starfish to Danielle (futuremrsjrj) yesterday, so she should be receiving it soon. This was such a great experience & I am so thankful I was able to be a part of it! Thanks girls!

  10. OOT Bags: I was going to take the traditional path with these OOT bags but when it came down to the wire, I realized that I did not have enough time nor energy to buy and put everything together. Therefore once we are down in Mexico we will be purchasing tequila bottles (not sure what kind yet, the picture is what I had handy so I just threw it in there) and they will go inside the bags we purchased and each couple will have one waiting in their room. Inside the bag will be the bottle, welcome brochure, keycard holder, thank you magnet and a picture card. Close ups of the OOT Bag Contents : Welcome Brochure:   Photo share cards: Another freebie from VistaPrint…I used the rack cards for our photoshare cards Thank You Magnets: These were free from Vistaprint and I thought “Why Not?!†lol if our guests choose to use them cool, if not then cool haha Picture Table/Guest Book: As soon as I saw the idea of the whiteboard guest book, I knew that was what we had to do. We will have a table set up with 2 white boards (One large with the instructions and a smaller one to write the message on), colored markers, a camera and a variety of props. So our guests will put on some of the props, write a message on the white board and snap a picture! Later I will then compile all the pictures that were taken and have them printed in a photobook and that will be our guest book!  I purchased most of these items from Oriental Trading Co, the prices were awesome and the quality of the items are great. The items our guest can use are mardi gras masks, clown noses, pirate eye patches, the funky Kanye West glasses that have 2010 written on them and I do not have a picture of the feather boa and once in mexico, we will purchase a sombrero that our guests can use as well.  Lastly.... My Something New is pretty much everything I will be wearing that day, my dress, shoes, hair piece, jewelry etc  My something borrowed is truly something special, it is the starfish jewel that will go in my bouquet. I was lucky enough to be added to the Starfish Passing thread here on BDW. My Something blue is a blue crystal rosary that my Fiance’s mom purchased for us during her trip to Italy.  My Something Old is the promise ring that my FI gave me when we first started dating. I dont have a picture of it since I just barely now found it (we just moved into our new place this passed wednesday and it was in one of our many boxes) and dont have time to take a picture of it.  Well Ladies, I believe that this is all...this was a great way to pass the time until we are off to the airport, only have about an hour until we head over to LAX. I'll be back in the BDW forum in 2 weeks! Talk to you all then!!  Â
  11. Â Â Â Raffia fans with ceremony programs: The fans will have a pink gerbera daisy attached to them (have not gotten to that yet) Programs :: Â I designed and ordered the ceremony programs to attach to the raffia fans from VistaPrint; I took advantage of the freebies that they always offer. These are just their rack cards and I uploaded the picture of a Gerbera Daisy with a heart in the center and just listed our names, the date, place of wedding, the order of events, wedding party and a thank you section. Back Front Menus: I must have looked at every possible template I could find but I was not able to find one that I was fully satisfied with. I finally decided to create my own and I am truly happy with what I was able to come up with. Â Cake: Â Initial Cake Letters: I wanted some type of decoration for our cake table but I just could not find something that fit with the image I had in my head. Therefore I decided to take the DIY route and I made these! They are 14 inch wooden letters that I purchased online and I bought about 15 dozen bouquets of silk carnations from Dollar tree. I then took the flowers off the stem, removed the bud they were on and while bunching the flowers together I used my glue gun to stick them on to the letters. I really love how they turned out and look just like what I had pictured in my head. I purchased 2 small iron easels that will hold the letters and will sit on each side of the cake.

  12. Groomsmen Attire: The boys will be wearing these exact pants and vest but will be wearing a fuchsia dress shirt with a silver tie. No Jacket.  Flowers: Centerpieces: I also do not have a picture of the centerpieces as ive changed my mind a dozen times and will be meeting with the florist once we are down there to create what i have in mind.   My bouquet My bouquet will be somewhat similar to the two below just will be all hot pink Gerbera Daisies. Boutonnières I decided to make the boutonnieres for the guys, and I made them very simple with a pink silk gerbera daisy. BM’s bouquets: Another DIY creation of mine      More to Follow.......
