Congrats proti007! Sounds like it's going to be a blast, can't wait to see pictures next year !

That is a great idea, when/ how are you giving them to the guests? OOT bags or after you get home from the trip? Thanks

Lo- that dress is gorgeous! I love the lengh and shape of it

Great job! It looks fabulous

Brandy they look fantastic! Rebecca sure does amazing work!

You know you have a problem when you're at the gym on the elliptical and still can't drag yourself away from BDW !

Mochamakes3 - don't stress I'm also an April bride an my STDs just went out also. I'm worried about people not booking either though, nobody has really asked me for the TA info and it sounds like a lot of people want to wait for their tax refund to pay but hello that's like a month before the wedding! I'm so stressed and overwhelmed. Not to mention FMIL told FI yesterday that FFIL might now go to the wedding now and FIs brother is already not going. I feel horrible the majority of the people going are my friends and family and FI only has like 4 people coming

Heres mine Â

Thanks for the info calia! That definitely helps me with trying to decide between the Nook and the Kindle

Im thinking FI will be peter pan ( he totally looks like him) , i'll be Wendy & our daughter will be tinkerbell

I am hoping to get an e-reader for my birthday next month! Â Do any of you ladies have any suggestions on which one to get? I was thinking the new kindle or a nook?

They look great!

Those are so beautiful! They would make some awesome pictures and the guests would LOVE it

just had burgerville for dinner and they print the calorie count of your meal on your receipt... i am feeling pretty guilty.. having a bad eating day

JR & Bpink - LOVE love love you dresses! They look fabulous on both of you!

Welcome fellow April 2011 bride . Happy planning and check out the April 2011 Brides thread

isheaf- please post yours when youre done, cant wait to see them  Brandy - we are doing passport invites and am so excited to get them done so i can see the finished product  Lua- I think we'll also do announcement/AHR invites once we get back because i havent even started to think/plan the AHR yet... i think my head would explode if i tried to plan it right now

Thanks everybody  Hzak1203 - i got the template from Aylee Bits and its kind of tedious but easy and they look great .... I tried to attach the template but cant figure out how?! so heres her website full of great templates including the ticket jacket. http://www.ayleebits.com/templates.htm  hope that helps Â

i love dress number 2! it is so flattering on you and shows off you curves more and perfect for the beach

Thanks everybody ! Â Brandy- I am doing my invites also, luckily I have been working on them while I was waiting to get my STD design from Jenn so I have pretty much finished designing them now I just need to move on to printing and putting them all together. I definitely learned my lesson from the STDs to not procrastinate

Finally finished my STDs they're in the mail tomorrow ! Hoping to send my invites November 1st with an RSVP of February 1st.

FINALLY I have finished my semi-DIY boarding pass STDs!!!!  Stardream metallic paper - Flame $30 Metallic Paper - Linen Pearl $9 Metallic Envelopes - Quartz $30 Raffia - $3.50 Personalized Stamps from Zazzle.com - $50 Boarding Pass desing by Jennifer Alison Designs - $75 Office Max Printing - $8 Craft supplies - $free , already had it all  This was the most tedious thing I have EVER done! I had Jennifer Alison design the file for my boarding pass STD after I spent about a week trying to design my own and realized I'm not that savvy. She had designed my monograms (5 monograms for $15!!!) and they turned out awesome so I knew she would do a fabulous job on the boarding passes, which she did! I couldnt be happier with how they look. Then I spend hours cutting them out which was a pain in the butt and it doesnt help that I'm a perfectionist. Then I did the pocket folds which took a few more hours to cut out, fold & glue, another pain the butt task Then tied raffia around them to give a finishing touch because i thought they looked too plain without anything. For the envelopes I ended up having to use "clear" address labels because my injet wouldnt print on the metallic paper and didnt want to take them somewhere to have printed. They say they are clear but really they are like a vellum-y texture so you can see them on the envelope which i am not happy about but oh well. I also have custom stamps made at Zazzle.com with one of our monograms on it, and they turned out great! Although I am really happy with the end product If I had them to do all over again I dont think I would DIY them, I'd just pay somebody to do them. In the end I think they ended up costing me more $ then if I had payed somebody to do them in the first place and a lot of time and stress.But here they are...

LOVE your shoes!

Great job everybody! Keep it up! We are going to be some good lookin brides
