I would like to sell some extra plastic badge holders to other DW brides needing them for luggage tags or room key holders. These are really handy for your wedding guests and a great item to add to your OOT bags!!! - I have 60 pieces of clear business card size (credit card size) holders (Dimensions: WxL: 55mmx 95mm (2 1/8 x 3 6/8 inch)) + clips - I also have ~30 pieces of larger clear badge holders (Dimensions: 3x4) + clips if needed Buy all 60 pieces for $12, or $5 for 20 pcs (+ shipping). Buy all 30 of the larger sized ones for $10 (+ shipping). Pricing can be negotiated depending on the quantity needed, just PM me! Shipping costs will vary on buyer's location (Canada/US only). Thanks!!!

My custom monogram stickers seem to be bleeding the colors when I try to spray them with Lacquer (to seal it and ensure it sticks through all temps).... ANY ADVICE???

hey mocha - I found that comparing local companies like Crossbridge printing or CG designs (I think that's their names?) it was still cheaper to order from discountmugs.com *especially with the coupons* but only if you have a US address to ship to. I ended up shipping mine to an aunt's house in NY and thought I'd rather spend the $300 I would have paid in shipping for totes and mugs on a trip down to NYC!! LOL

Does anyone happen to know all of the requirements? Especially for a catholic ceremony in Panama? I'm totally confused on the process!

Any recent brides care to share their reviews??

fmichelle - Thank you sooooo much for sharing this!! I haven't gotten one of those emails in a few months and it is BY FAR the best time to order - I just put in a HUGE order and only had to spend $50 for shipping to Canada for a dozen items The offer expires today!!

Tennyt1 - thanks!!! starrysim - my gown is an ALLURE 8705 (2010 collection)... I fell in love with the ruffle style and out of all the designers I loved Allure dresses the best!! (Pronovias too but they're more $$$) Allure have a few new styles in their new 2011 collection as well (*I even tried on a few after having doubts about my dress but that rant is in another thread lol) This has more BLING factor!!! .... CORAL DRESSES!!! hehehehe Quote: Originally Posted by starrysim Perfect, stunning!!! This brightened my day. May I ask what your wedding dress is? I'm considering a style like that as well.

CONGRATULATIONS JENN!!!! I totally didn't realize that you got married last week too!!! Thanks so much for the tips and review of your experience, sounds like you encountered a few bumps in the road but I guess that's to be expected with a destination wedding, especially if there are 4-5 a week!! I'm starting to get nervous for the possibilities of how things might turn out for me cuz I have close to 100 guests coming with me..... CHAOS!!!! lol

Thanks ladies!!! I'm soooo happy I'm sooooo excited!!! 4 more months to go as of tomorrow!!! Quote: Originally Posted by Brandy Gorgeous dresses!!!!! You two look amazing!

Hi skp1 - my cousin said they just used regular 80lb stock paper, very heavy and had the perfect texture! Thanks everyone!!! I mailed em out last Friday and all the guests are raving how "original" it is!! hahaha little do they know...... I only wish I order MORE invites!!!

Best welcome book templates I've seen on this site!!! You really did a great job... THANKS!!!

Hi Jen!! I know you're down in Panama already but I wish you and your FI all the best on your BIG wedding day!!! 2 more days and you're a MRS!!!! Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!!

Hi Ladies!! I just hit the jackpot when it comes to finding tourist and travel info for Panama!! I read in another thread that there was a local Jamaica tourist board where you can ask for tourist booklets for free, so I thought maybe I could find something for Panama. My google search lead me to a site where there are free ebooks on pdf!! This should come in handy for anyone wanting to put together some Welcome info brochures.... HECK why not just print these??? Hopefully you find these helpful! So I thought I'd share.... This first one is especially good for Canadian brides!! Panama Research.pdf Panama04.pdf panama-city-preview.pdf panama-4-getting-started.pdf

I MUST AGREE with Queen Diva!!! I'm overwhelmed by the number of people coming its like I'm having a normal wedding but just during a huge family vacation!!! Then again, I knew it wasn't going to be small.... I've been to small intimate weddings and can't say enough how much more emotional and touching it is, sharing the best memories with the closest loved ones that truly cared to be there with you. Trust me, it's a blessing in disguise, and no matter what it really comes down to you and your FI being together happily ever after!!! (and maybe you'll still get a few more friends to book) **ps - I especially envy you cuz my OOT bags are gonna KILLLL ME!!! LOL

I finally got my coral MOH dress which I had ordered from bigdaydress.com, on the same day I had my first dress fitting!! So I took the opportunity to take a picture of my sister and I..... I can't say how much I was impressed with the dress, as was the bridal shop owner!!! The color is absolutely PERFECT!!! Dark Papaya/Coral but yet its really bright in natural light!! Original Jim Hjelm 5924 The dress at the store before ordering online MOH dress + me!

I also faced this same situation and despite being soo close to my 100 person capacity already, I (we) still chose to send out formal invitations to all our guests, confirmed and those we knew aren't coming.... the only problem NOW is that I didn't order ANY extra invitations and not only do I not have a copy to save/keep for myself, but my FMIL is wanting another 10 invites to send to her friends who aren't coming?!?! Here's the cover of our passport invites: (FULL POST: http://www.bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/thread/67650/jr-s-passport-invites-finally) Quote: Originally Posted by vlynnw I'm in the exact same situation. Everyone treated our STD from last June as an invite basically since it was full of information, and those that are going are booked but we have a couple people that are still deciding. Everyone else has already told us they can't be there. I however went ahead and sent out invitations so I can get an official RSVP from everyone anyway. Hannah the brochure looks great. I just uploaded my pre-travel brochure onto vistaprint to have them print it, as well as photo-share cards, luggage tags, and key/ tip holder cards. I'll upload all the designs later onto here. Invitations went in the mail on Tuesday as well as the STD for the AHR. I also had my second fitting today and it's amazing to put my dress on and actually be able to walk in it. Lots of things are getting checked off my list this month! Quote: Originally Posted by rosieposie wow! great work ladies! those are beautiful! re: sending out invites after people have booked - if you want to, why not? i think it's nice to give people something formal, that way it's more like they're going for your wedding, not they're going on a trip and it just so happens your wedding is there.......well, that's what my MOH told me when i was debating.... =) Now that I got the invites out.... next on my list is working on the OOT bags, welcome book, bridesmaids gifts, translation of documents, and LOTS of Vistaprint'ing!!!!

Yes, although my sister banned me from dating her now husband's younger brother!! LOL ... Would you ever marry someone 10 years older than you??

Thanks PBP - I must have just missed the Toronto deal, so I'm glad its valid for all of Canada orders!!

Not sure if that link worked... here's the DEAL again from Groupon

Also for any previous brides that have already ordered.... any reviews or pictures you can share? I'm thinking of buying one of these deals, Its totally worth it!
